It looked like a real low level Kenwood to me at first, No Sirius, No HDradio...etc... But then I saw you are in United Arab Emirates. : That would explain the lack of Sirius.

It depends on what you want. Just for a FM/CD/MP3 stereo it will be fine.

alright...its not a good stuff..
its made in Malaysia though...
i think a decent mp3,cd and radio would be enough as long as its quality is dependable...
pioneer is my 2nd choice

well...i bought it anyway
and installed my first DIY of my freekin life!!!
here goes!

CHANGING THE STOCK HEADUNIT FOR EK 99

remove the driver dashboard lower cover (see the location for the screws and bolt including clips)

i tried to organize the screws and bolts using some paper cups

next is removing the glove box

.. just like eating noodles!

then the center dashboard lower cover
(2 screw both side and 2 in the middle)

we can now remove the Stock HU... with 2 screws at the bottom of the stock HU. just ,make sure to detach the wire connections

break...

this happens when its your first time hehehe

with the guide of the circuit diagram found on the service manual, these wires were like old friends to me..

and referring to the new HU manual.. the installation guide is easy to follow...

before you install the new HU...make sure that the wires are carefully organized for future plans...

7.so its done...

8. .. installation is the reverse of removal...

I really think removing the steering wheel to get to the deck was a bit overkill

I really think removing the steering wheel to get to the deck was a bit overkill

wtf!!!! if you read it closely man...removing the steering wheel wasn't part of the DIY...
i just did it for my own preference...
