Why it's a best pick:
Between its classic lines and its full list of features, the Kenwood DPX503 represents one of the best all-around replacement stereos for your double-DIN sized dash opening. The DPX503 will make even non-premium sound systems sound vastly better, thanks to the combination of a powerful internal amplifier, built-in equalizer settings, sound processing, and an algorithm called 'digital time alignment' which monitors the real-time sound and alters subtle bits to make the music sound loud and clear. Although the size of the buttons is disappointingly small for a double-DIN unit, the twin dials and clearly labeled buttons prove the DPX503 to be highly ergonomic. Your gadgets are fully supported as well, with a front-panel USB and auxiliary inputs with which to connect the plugs. The highly capable Kenwood DPX503 performs extremely well, and should definitely be on your list of replacement double-DIN stereos.

Where to Buy

Manufacturer Description: Replace that aging, broken or otherwise boring double DIN factory radio with DPX503 and gain high performance audio features and portable player connectivity to your iPod or other music storage device! The DPX503 has a large multi-line display with full-spectrum variable illumination (very cool) and connectivity features like an illuminated front Aux input and USB port with 1-wire high-speed iPod control.
