I just purchased it for 75 from a guy in Canada... Really gotta search for deals up here... Shipping is always so ridiculous! Anyone know if you also need the metra mounting kit for install? THX!

. $89 free shipping on Amazon prime. Metra kit works well do you need single or double din?

Do U really need that $125.00 interface box to install an aftermarket sterio. Cant you just run a power cable to the baterie . My jk is all manual ,(no stering wheel controlls,blue tooth , or anything fancy,no amp,no sub.) I have carpet and floor mats,manual windows,and door locks, and thats it . Its a plane jane JK Jeep.
Sorry for being off-topic. I'm looking for a good stereo and can't make my mind up which one is the best.
There are so many aftermarket stereos that it's hard to find a good one. Many of them have one digit difference in their name. Anyways I've been reading reviews on the nets and they are all hype. Most of them downplay the negatives and hype features like 7" as if it would be that important. I've found a different blog and I've set my heart on the kenwood dmx7706s. The thing I liked about this blog is that it says it how it is. No sugar coating no BS. This kenwood post review is a bit critical. It has highlighted some flaws that put me on the fence. What do you say?
Any tips?

You could wire it all yourself but you would need a Switched power, Ground, Memory (Constant), possibly reverse and dimmer.
The wiring harness you would need is the Metra XSVI-6522. There are others made by PAC and Scosche but I don't know their part numbers. The Metra is $40 - $50 right now. It is THE easiest way.
I am not a fan of cutting the factory harness.
