Default Re: Kenwood DNX 8120 pre-install..lots of pics inside

hey guys...here are some pics (especially for those who are planning to install this unit). I also installed OEM back up camera/flip down monitor (from sparks) and Homelink rear view mirror.

As a note to those planning to do this install..this is my first ever stereo install and it went smooooooooth a silk. I owe 100% of my successful installs to posters such as Jumbo Jet and Pedro66 for their advice and detailed write ups; these forums are such a valuable resource.

I also did a full de-badge yesterday...man those 5.7 badges are on there with some sort of super adhesive! Passenger side came off pretty easy, the driver's side was much harder. Both left a lot of adhesive behind that I had to scrub off with a full bottle of goo gone and a ton of elbow grease..man that was hard work.

Its still kinda noticeable where the 5.7 badges and "Toyota Tundra" (on tailgate) were, I hope this will fade away over time.

On to the pics!



you can see the satellite antenna on the roof















newly installed homelink mirror and flip down monitor for back up camera







Kenwood DNX8120 head unit installed with Metra dash kit. Everything went in like a charm and works great. The dash kit is a perfect match, but it seems to raised a little on the right hand side. Maybe someday I'll fuss with it.



Routed the iPod control cable and the extra USB cable in through the upper glove box. Great location and keeps everything neatly stowed

The next mod i wanna do is get the color matched grille surround, the black sequoia door handles and fog lights.

Right now the door handles are just painted chrome that the dealership managed to chip up during the almost 80 days they had it.

oh anyone has a question or wants to see more pics, ask away!
