i had the d300 before this one and to me i think the audio quality was far superior on the w200, not sure if they changed something , but everything sounded crisper.

There are 10 types of people in the world, ones that understand binary and ones that dont.

I cannot give a complete review on this since I only had it in my truck for about a day or so, but I did pay $700.00 for this touch screen , brand new.

I will leave a complete review as soon as I put it back in, as of now I am still looking for a 5 speacker harness for my 06 f150. Thing is I am having trouble finding a a harness that will intergrate my stock sub.

I just got this deck as well. So far I love it (after a week). My question is I can only get the i personalize background to show up when my DVD or CD is off, and I set the visual to that mode. Why does it not show up normally behind the radio interface? Weird?

I love the graphics and the screen is really nice. Seems to be pretty user friendly. I paid &799.

I couldn't find a harness to hook up the audiophile sub, but found a great post on here on how to do it and it worked fine.

The stock sub is controlled by the little adapter (of the three that went to the stock HU)

Four wires: +, - speaker, remote turn on and ground.

The Kenwood DDX7017 is an AV head unit. It doesn't have built in navigation.
