I've decided to return the CD5030 and get the Kenwood X994. The Kenwood showed up today but I haven't installed it yet. Soldered the harnesses together and the Pac module. Will install tomorrow and have pics of both HU in the dash.
The 5030 was a pretty good deck but had too many glitches. The 7 band parametric EQ with 3 different frequency option per band is excellent. The OEL display was really nice. I'm definitely going to miss that. User interface was simple but is a little sluggish as you move around it.
The Kenwood, I'm already impressed with it. The buttons don't fee as cheap as the 5030. They got rid of the joystick from the x993. No more joysticks. Just one push button knob and 4 surrounding buttons. Hopefully the LCD display will be adequate and not get washed out by sun light like the previous model.
Oh, the Kenwood didn't come with a case for the faceplate. Just a bag. Kinda sucks.
Hopefully I'll get this installed tomorrow.
