Review: Not sure about steering wheel controls - There is only one wire that is on the harness for adding steering controls, so I'm not sure if you can with an older vehicle. I installed this into a 2008 Corvette. It fit great, sounds great, looks great and has 4 inputs for cameras that I wanted for blindspots when parking to avoid curbs. Unfortunately the 4th camera input is in the form of a headphone jack with a video plug that wasn't included. You'd have to order it separately or use a camera switcher which would also work but would also defeat the purpose of wanting 4 inputs. I like that you can change the background as well and if you ground the parking brake switchand have an android, you can screen mirror for watching YouTube wirelessly....or hockey, depending on what you're into. Apple car play also wors wirelessly. overall both systems work great and this headunit is pretty awesome. I highly recommend this
Review: Amazing Deck - I have been putting systems in my cars since the 90's. This is by far the best deck I have had in long time maybe ever. I have ran Pioneer, Alpine, JVC, Sony and of course Kenwood. The last Pioneer deck I had " 1770 NEX" was a terrible deck and Pioneers quality control on multiple different decks is bad. Basically the board on the Pioneers go bad after a year or two. I decided to go back to Kenwood and boy am I glad I did. If you don't run a full setup - meaning amps with your deck than there are cheaper Kenwood decks that will do you well. But this deck has 5 volt outputs for people that run amps this means cleaner and louder sound. And this deck has separate controls for the sub and crossover points for tuning. This deck has way more programmability than any other deck I have used and way more than the Pioneer deck I had. The sound imaging that I can dial in is absolutely fantastic! There are many choices to give the sound stage just about any type that you want in your vehicle. I run this in a 2011 Ford F-350 and all the options for bringing the highs and lows together to be musical and not just overbearing bass is simply awesome. The menu is intuitive and makes a little exploring very rewarding. The screen clarity in daylight is great, very sharp. If you are looking for a deck that can bring your amps and car media all together than you have found a very good spot to start. Are there better decks out there, yes and Kenwood makes them, but for the price point? Nope, just a smile on your face when you crank that dial up.....
