does anyone have this unit installed? Any feedback? Thanks.
Malibu Rapper said:It's a great unit but it is due for replacement soon. Kenwood put out what looks to be the same model the DDX6017 (no longer Excelon). I would wait and see what comes next.
No problems with the stereo whatsoever but I wish it was more customizable in terms of background, screensavers, etc.
SNDSOUL said:The 6017 was a piece made for just the mass merchants, but since they had sooo many 7015's on backorder they started filling them with the 6017. It does not come with a camera input and the graphics are slightly different. I have 10 6017's in stock and 3 7015's :biggrin: Both are hot sellers and great pieces. You are correct though, Kenwood is planning a 7015 replacement towards late summer or fall of this year.
I have one as well. The unit is great but there is glare due to the console angle. I'm working on building a visor to reduce the glare.Sidra said:does anyone have this unit installed? Any feedback? Thanks.

The Kenwood trim ring snaps onto the head unit and because of that, having it stuck to the console trim makes your job a lot harder. The hard part of modifying the stock console isn't cutting out the hole, it's really just the finishing work to make it look nice again.
Here are some shots I took of the console trim when I refinished it recently. I used superglue to tack the aluminum border in place and then I used a plastic to metal epoxy to permanently affix the aluminum border to the trim.
In case you have bought a unit yet, the Eclipse 2454 have really come down in price since a newer model is out. I think you can find new ones on eBay for around $1,000-$1,100.menuserve said:malibu.... damn thats just awesome baby!

.... Stacy is selling a brand new unused 7015 for a killer deal!SoCalDude said:In case you have bought a unit yet.....
