Snyder,
Have 2 '08 LSV's sitting 100 ft from me I can take a pic of. Will that help? What, specifically, do you want a pic of?
if it's the same deck, just the back of the stereo and the wires running from it.
thanks!
Hmmmmm
Don't know if it's the same. Do you know your model number?
here is a pic of my keenwood 232 mr that came in my 2007 OBV should be pretty similar

here is the keenwood mr225 which i think came in the 2006 models page 26 shows the back

Nice, JV!
Let me know if you need more, Spyder.
i was just hoping to see it wired up so i know what i'm up against ;)
A mess is what your up against! Seriously, the factory is not known for "clean' wiring so if it's never been touched back there it will be hard to decipher anything from a pic, not to mention that a straight on rear pic in an LSV is almost impossible due to space. What exactly are you trying to do?
well, i have no car audio experience whatsoever.. just trying to figure out if it would just be a straight swap to upgrade to the Kenwood KMR-550U.
like using existing wire harness and existing remote on drivers seat. just simply pulling out the old deck and putting in new one.

looks like it will plug and play asumming the wiring for power ground and remote lead is the same, but when you compare the plugs the 232 has lots of blanks , so some of the functionaly of the newer unit wont be used unless you re wire the whole interface.
soldering isn't that bad, it's just being able to do it in the storage below the radio...
I installed my 550u in less than 15 minutes. It really isn't as difficult as it is being made out to be.
Wire the new harness up to your existing power, speaker, and remote wires, then put your radio in and plug the harness into the new radio. Voila...install complete.

did you have to do any soldering with hooking up the new harness? was it easy to get access?Quote:

It should....
also, anyone know what that type of plug is called on the back of the old deck? maybe I can find the other matching end at radio shack so I can keep the wiring harness detachable.
