So now that I have been through the ringer on this, I am confident the radio I picked is a great option as long as you don't care about DVDs/factory GPS
The kenwood has an HD screen with great resolution and it only boots up slightly slower than the factory. I am really loving it so far. I am...
I think I can route the microphone wiring up through the a pillar and under the headliner. I just gotta research how to pull the headliner back enough. Then I can mount it in the factory location
Chime speaker mounted and ran the obd port wire
Just poking around now for best microphone position. I would like to use factory location but I am not sure how to get it to the overhead yet. Need to research
Just need to get the third row screen working and will see if the 100 watt usb charger is enough for the Roku
After that just gotta route the microphone and the chime speaker (I think I need the microphone?)
This looks promising, I can cut the kenwood adapter harness (its only like 15 bucks) and splice this in.

Talked to idatalink. The voltage reducer is not reducing the output enough and since I just have an SLT and not a Denali the amp gain cannot be adjusted.
He said the only other thing I can try is manually splicing the wires into RCA front and rear
So I’d have to cut the plug and play...
Yeah I am thinking of just aborting mission. The Roku stick has all kinds of interference going through the a/v converter. It displays but you hear a constant audio noise in addition to the content that is playing
I am using an hdmi to a/v converter but perhaps the one I got is just crappy
Factory amp, I am just trying to do as plug n play install as possible so everything I bought just plugs right in. I used the maestro RR with the iDatalink HRN-HRR-GM2, iDatalink HRN-AV-GM2 and iDatalink ACC-HU-KEN1 (adapts the harness so it plugs right into the kenwood)
There's an AMP...
Still doing it even after amp adapter was connected. Does not do it with stock head unit. It’s not something I can live with so I’ll call around Monday for answers
So I confirmed this works without dual zone on the kenwood.
I had to take it all out though because there’s an unbearable static noise through the speakers even when volume is off. Big time disappointment not sure if it’s the wiring or the head unit. I used all plug and play connectors so I...
CarPlay in front and my laptop to the middle screen
I will just need to wire up the rear screen now and I think I’m good with this head unit it fits my needs
Okay confirmed it doesn’t have dual output but I don’t really care about that because it allows display to the rear screen while having car play up front
I simply had to use the av in and not the hdmi in
Starting to think I just bought the wrong head unit for what I wanted. I wanted to play stuff to the rear screen while having carplay up front. This doesn't have anything to switch any A/V outputs to different zones...
