I went with a Kenwood as well:

With the appropriate adapter it was easy to swap with the factory
Heidelberg unit.
Yes!   I still had it!!   It still works!.

Anyway, you just have to be careful with the wiring as you push it back in
place
but it fits.

I was using an external JVC HD radio unit but wanted it built-in and
finally decided
to get this unit before these type of units disappear altogether.

Sirius/XM is not built in but can be added.   I don't care for their
service but posted
this for anyone looking for HD built-in..  (hang in there HD radio!!!)

Sounds fine.  The only thing you may not like is the screen is a bit
difficult to read.
This can be adjusted for a fair readable screen but once set up it doesn't
matter
that much.   But I listen to radio quite a bit if not listening to audio
books for long
drives.

Remote is good.  Plenty of buttons to control the unit.
