I  had a Kenwood Excelon stereo/speakers installed in my new syncro doka
which had never had a radio in it as best I could tell-professionally
installed, no problems, sounds great, & the USB port in the face charges my
I Phone while syncing the music on the remote or removable face.  It also
plays my google maps gps verbal instructions, cuts the music when
instructions or cell calls come in, then goes right back to playing at the
same spot.  I haven't figured out what else it does, but I can figure out
the bluetooth wireless play someday, but I like the single wire connection
that charges & syncs everything.
There are several different models in this Excelon series, so you can spend
little or a bunch depending on your budget.

No hammer & 2x4 required!

YMMV,

Mr. BZ-Whoda thunk?
