Post by: mepaniv on April 23, 2010, 07:39:10 am

Hi All

Have seen this Kenwood, new Model for 2010 its for the MK5 and allows you keep the OEM look, prices will start around £1300, really tempted, what's everyone's thoughts?

On my phone at mo so can't find link but pioneer do the same thing, oem look, and you'd be far better with pioneer kit than kenwood. IMO and many others lol

I think there's no contest between the two in terms of looks.

The Pioneer looks a bit like some kind of Fisher Price unit by comparison to the Kenwood!
