Luckily the unit itself is easy to replace and there are several companies that manufacture the same one with different specs. My truck now feels like a 2015+ with a large touchscreen! On top of that, the head unit is responsive and runs apps like a phone. I'm honestly happy this thing fit (with some adjustments). Attached are pics of the before and after. Long story short, after making some cuts, she's in. Where the screen is supposed to sit, there was a metal bracket that holds up the stock unit. Obviously, this thing was made in China without any real r&d. Well that wasn't the case for the mounting part. Upon receiving the item, I was excited and ready to get it installed since it was in theory plug and play.

I have Kenwood Excelon 6x8s that I like a lot - a little bit "forward" in the midrange, but good bass from a 6x8. I have one in a Town Car and it made a lot of difference.Īs for brands of speakers, I used to buy Polks, but found that the tweeters did not last long in hot interiors - never failed, but developed a horrible resonance in upper midrange.
