Ordered new Kenwood head unit today.
 

Tomorrow is my birthday (march 19) and I just got off the phone with Crutchfield. I purchased a Kenwood with red lights (bc mostly it will set off my red interior);). I found one on E-bay but it had $20 shipping eventhough it was $35 cheaper (65)than Crutchfield ($100). I also found a wiring harness on E-bay too...it was $28 (plus shipping $7) while the Crutchfield one was $40. Luckily I called and talked to a custonmet service tech and he let me know that I was also going to need an antennae adapter. I didn't know this from the beginning. I must say I would have been pretty mad to find out that I was missing something when my entire console and stereo was out.[:'(]
Well for $150, no headaches, free shipping and peace of mind. I think its a good deal. VS- $118, no real contact person, no antennae adapter and not having to worry about where my $ is going.
Don't get me wrong. I use E-bay and have had nothing but good experiences with them. I just was glad to have a real person there to talk to make sure all the necessary components were there. It makes it easier to make decisions about things I am a little unsure about like...:eek:the bose. Just thought I would share. Wish me luck on the install!:D

You know there was a TSb out on the later model C'4s concerning aftermarket stereos? If you do not put in a couple of resistors you will get an SYS message.
