Kenwood Navigation Installed in my 2008 SSG

[CarDude]

Car Toys installed a Double Din Kenwood Navigation Unit (DNX 8120) in my 2008 SSG Coupe. Looks and works great. They did have to do some cutting on the car...hope my dash doesn't cave in..., I guess I will drive this one a little nicer than my ACR .

Special thanks to Jon B at PartsRack...he really helped with a part for my console. THANKS BIG TIME.

Here is a picture.

Looks great! You are brave...I'm not sure I could let anyone cut into my dash.

Should have had them fill in the cup holder while they were cutting up the console!
I know you dont drink, play with the touch screen, screw with bluetooth, find self on GPS and Drive at the same time.

He could do everything you listed with his left hand.

Looks great! I love the SSG console. Did you buy it like that or did you have a shop paint your original console SSG?

Don't leave out the two Chihuahuas, Schipperke and Pomeranian (dumbest dog on earth). The Osbornes got nothing on me (except the whole money thing).

Car Toys reworked the panel, and I had a guy who does spot painting repairs do the panels (They are pretty good, but could be better).

It sure has been nice getting the Vipers out lately...ahhh the smell of freshly cooked rubber in the morning.

According to the contents of your garage, you're right.
They've got a ways to go.

I'm waiting for above-meat-locker temps before installing the new traction components.
Haven't burned out in 5 months. Not sure I still know how to do it.

Weather changes quick in Colorado...its 23 degree right now and I think it is suppose to snow today...

I'm curious about the aftermarket nav systems.
- How well do they work compared to the RB1/RB4?
- How are updates managed? Downloadable?
