Installed during lunch today while at work, but I need to take it back out and drill the holes in the mounting brackets a bit further back so the radio cover works. Right now it can close, but not all of the way. Here are some pics taken tonight. Nothing special since I have an old carppy camera that doesnt work too well in low light situations. I will take better pictures tomorrow in the light.

y didn't you step up to the DDX-8017?? the only reason I got the 7017 was that they did not have the 80-17 out yet

To be honest, I didn't see it listed on Crutchfields site. I went to their site, entered my car and looked through about 34 in dash dvd players and for the price, this one seemed to be the best. I assumed since it had a 400 price drop, it was an older model, but I am still happy with it. It will last me many years before I even consider upgrading.


As for the person who asked about the install. It was very easy to do. Maybe 1/2 to take out the two front panels, unscrew the radio, take it out, swap it, and screw it back in.

Can you close the radio cover all the way down? I also have the 8017 and i only used the two brakets the OEM headunit came with.

A couple more pics that show it off better. I love the interface. The menu system takes some getting used to, as the manual really sucks. But the HU itself is great. I am very glad I got it. Wait. I am very glad my wife LET me get it.

Maybe i should read your post before i post a stupid reply. Well when you make the holes and get the Radio cover to close fulling please post Pics. Also pic's of where you made the holes. Becuase i've been busy with other tC projects that i just left the HU alone for now.

What kind of subwoofer/bass controll do you have with that HU? I am thinking of getting it but cant find any detail specs on it.

Fm_Tc_In_Ma

I dont have a sub, but I think it has pretty decent controls for bas, mid, and treble.

Much more than the stock HU.

I haevnt done it yet, but I heard that if you drill the holes where the dimples are in the brackets, then the cover should work like it normally does.

I was looking at this HU, but was wondering how much it costs to add nav any ideas?

reagulator

about 550 for the newest harddrive base system
about 500 for the old dvd style.
I have the harddrive one

The new Kenwood nav system is not hard drive based. It's SD card based.

well have you finish install the HU. Does the cover close all the way down? Please post pic's

I have to redrill the brackets so that the radio can sit back about 1/4" so the cover can be closed without any interference.

I just havent gotten around to doing it yet.

Zero-X

No problem man. Please when you get it where you like it and the tc cover closes all the way down please post pic's of where you drilled the holes. Take care and happy modding.

I imagine the whole face of the unit moves for CD access. My question on this product is how does it move and is there clearances around the radio areas when it moves. I'm thinking about getting this product for it's navigation features and I ask this because the unit looks recessed in the area. Also, was concern about the radio door function and any interferences between both as well. Thanks.
