Seams like the electronics don't hold up through cold winter, and same goes for a good hot summer. They mentioned about cheap soldered connections.

Oh, my guess is they use a lead free solder. And that stuff doesn't last very long. But it is getting harder to find and costs more $$$ when you do.

Now I'm looking at this Maestro dash plate, and a Kenwood DDX539. And using an idatalink with this stereo will show vehicle functions like tire pressure, gauges, etc.

And here's a video using a Pioneer. But it's pretty much the same deal with the Kenwood, but the shop say's the Kenwood has more features then the Pioneer.

Alright, a little update.
I received my new stereo stuff late yesterday. And got it all in this morning, and I love it

The stereo is a new for 2017, Kenwood DDX 794, with a Maestro K150 dash kit, and a Maestro idataling RR.
This thing is sweet, the dash kit looks like factory, the right color, texture, *****, buttons, etc.
The Kenwood is a beast, with a 13 band graphic EQ, cd, dvd, mp3 and lord know what else. Also has HD Radio, and I have a Sirius/XM radio tuner, and an almost 7" all touch screen.
In the picture is of a DVD that I put in to play with. It's called Animusic, actually pretty cool.

Buddy so do I.
I already like the dash kit way more than that thing I got from Crutchfield. I looks stock.
I have more learning to get in with the new stereo. There's more cra, I mean stuff on it than that Pioneer had.
