Recommend me a replacement for Kenwood KRC-394

Holy thread revival!
Yeah, KRC-394 was one of the standard fitments and if steering wheel controls were factory fitted then they should work. Seems odd that the CD changer isn't there - they aren't worth a lot for anything else - perhaps it was faulty and taken out for fixing?

TBH if funds allow I'd strongly recommend replacing that Kenwood with an Android double-din unit. Steering wheel controls work great (at least on mine), you have the benefit of an internet connected device - Waze with real-time traffic updates is fabulous. Not to mention all the other advantages of having an Android tablet.
