Looking good. Built in mirroring, Android auto and apple play! 

I have been using Kenwood HU for a while. I quite like it. Of course pioneer seem to be more popular.

Paiseh, it was a gift, so I do not know the price. Android Auto is ok , you need to download the apps first and then connect but must ensure the model that you have be set to ( on ) for automotive mirroring.

Juz a simple upgrade , cos many ppl told me kenwood units not very gd in supporting audio upgrades . Most ask me to get pioneer instead  esp the pioneer 8850.

If you are up for it, I can do a trade with you for a 8850 that was used less than 3 months.

Local set, local warranty.

I am also looking for local shops that carries the ddx917ws.

Anyone knows?

I think the shop name is link auto , its somewhere at the rear far end . Maybe u can try go there n ask.

Thanks. Will explore that.

Reason why I need the 917 is cause my new car has a wide stereo from factory.

My current 8850 is too narrow to fit without side brackets.

i think can fit nicely  maybe u go ask . 

 

Yup it will fit very nicely and give off a factory installed feel.

But currently i am researching and trying to ask around on how to keep the OEM USB and AUX ports functions.

 

Most I see online is that they will sacrifice the OEM AUX function, but I want to keep the factory feel.

So still researching.
