I use the motionX app for navigation not the garmin. Butt to get either one to mirror onto the screen you have to have the iPod cable for the kenwood that plugs into the back of the radio. Plug it into the cable start the app on your phone and it pops right up on your screen. It works really good and easy.

I bought the garmin app from the website and yes I have the cable and I bought the other 50 dollar part that is supposed to allow it to mirror maybe because I had the app running before I plugged it in?

You only need one cable and it's the one that plugs into the iPod jack and the USB jack on the back of the radio.

What all did you have to do to get yours to fit? I'm battling mine in my camaro right now. I got everything from double d mods too. I cut the tray out and it doesnt seem to be sitting down far enough but its resting on top of the ac controls. How are you supporting the back side of the head unit? I waited to start until i got my bezel in so i have everything to do it.

If you cut the bottom tray out and it's resting on the heater controls then you should be low enough. As far as supporting the back side, I didn't see any real need. Between it sitting on the heater controls and the front support brackets mine was rock solid.

I cut the lower tray out and if its held up in the back then it seemed to work out better. granted that was just a test fit to see where i was at and not everything was screwed in tight. I got pretty much the exact same set up as you did dspdave.
