Kenwood DNX7100 install

[Martin Ping]

I am gettting ready to have this unit installed by my Toyota dealer...

I am having them use the following add on's...

Kenwood KCA-iP300V for iPod
SIRIUS SIR-KEN1 for Sirius

I have also read that this is a good install kit...

METRA - 99-8210

Am I on the right track with this?...Do I need anything else?...It is a base radio that it's replacing with no steering wheel controls...Thanks

I just installed an Eclipse AVN6600 myself, it was pretty easy. How much is Toyota charging you? You might want to install it yourself.

You might need a dash kit, I used the Scosche kit.

I paid the dealer to install a Sirius Harness when I bought the vehicle...They were not able to install it with the base radio so they are accomodating me with the install and also buying the periherals for iPod and Sirius...

They are into me for about $400 so that's what it will cost me...All I provide is the head unit and they buy everything else and install...

I just want to make sure they use the right stuff...
