I know it's been almost a month since this discussion occurred, but I'm very interested in this topic. I enjoyed the CNET review of the Kenwood unit, but would like to know more about the other mentioned Kenwood product, which I think is a newer generation device.

I understand that the Crossfire, having a single-din console, limits options for stereo replacements. I'm curious to know if the Crossfire "imposes" any other limitations on installation of a DVD/CD/Stereo/GPS systems with 7" flip-up display? What about these units (no discernible brand-name) listed on eBay, from Hong Kong? Are they compatible? I guess what I'm asking is: what brand/model would you install if you had say $2000 to spend and wanted the best, updatable GPS and stereo system without re-design of the dash/console? Thanks for your suggestions...
