And what you said you "cut the face" of the stock head unit do you mean that you literally cut it out (no longer operational) or just removed face (still operational if you decide to put it back) .

The decoy deck was broken to begin with but if you had an old working deck that you didnt want to break I would suggest buying a cheap broken one first. Got one for 12 shipped on ebay
not sure the dimensions of your deck but with this one I could actually push it back further if i wanted, it was just a matter of where i mounted the cage that the deck slides into. There is alot of room back there ,chances are if you had it installed at some shop they just did it by the book so its gonna be mounted to far out.
Well, the simple answer for this would be to work out the best as you can for those rear cable bundles and connectors so you can just have enough room to get the unit sit far back into the console and be so flush. That what I did for mine.
Nice work, Roger!!! Yes, the Kenwood fits better (deeper) than my Alpine IVA-W200. The Alpine can't be that flush by any method short of taking a sledgehammer to the back ... but that seems to compromise the audio quality a bit ... like to ZERO
Congrats on moving to NC as well. Chapel Hill was my old stompin ground ... Asheville is my future resting spot, but still a way off.
very nice Roger...I have the Kenwood DDX6019 and love it! I cant believe the fake h/u cover came out so nice, I'm all over that.
Bandoni knows - I'm currently using a "JDM" pillow....that's right, when I park, I just put a pillow over my H/U. Sure I guess people know SOMETHING'S behind it, but they just dont know what! lol - yes it's a temporary fix
and I didnt know you could hook up the steering wheel controls...little more info please? and I'm so jealous that you can change the wallpaper to that Acura logo...I dont think I have that option
I used the SWI jack to regain my steering wheel controls, look it up there are many options of SWI to fit the needs of all stereos and cars. Its basically a device that you program to control what ever three functions you want your three buttons on your steering wheel to do. I kept mine as volume up , down and seek, but you can do whatever you want.

There are several different models of "SWI" products , the swi jack will directly connect to a handful of stereos and if not you will need to try out other SWI options. This is the second time I have used a SWI. The previous one i used was called SWI-X because my panasonic did not have an input for steering wheel adapter, the way the SWI -X works was it hooked up to your car the same but it had an inferred led that you had to mount pointing at your stereo and you would program your steering wheel buttons to perform certain functions that the remote would do that was included with your stereo. Works pretty well but sometimes inconvient when something was in the way of the line of sight, this all depends on where you mount it. I mounted mine hidden down by the e-brake pointing up at the stereo. Hope this helps!
This has been the best install in a g2 legend i have ever seen. I challenge anyone to post a pic of one as good as this one. It cant be done. Good job Roger.
