**** I just threw all those same parts in the trash can two days ago. I didn't know they were worth $100. I went with a new Kenwood also. DMX7705S

I also have the same parts. I put it on craigslist for 200 since it was 795 on my sticker. No replys, trash seems likely. I put in Kenwood DXN995S. amp sub are under the passenger seat. 6 new speakers. JL stuff
My USB comes out of the glove box for now but will make it come out of the triangle spot where I have my Pro clip phone holder. The OEM one is not connected. I also run a dual usb charger in the cigarette lighter(right side of cup holder) which lights blue. I use that at night to see where to put my coffee.
Microphone is in front of the visor which is stupid because if the suns out you cover it up - should be more in the middle at top of windshield.
FYI - I had them connect my rear camera up so I can turn it on while driving which uses the radio screen, it also comes on when put in reverse.

Ive been looking at he Kenwood DMX 7705s too. I already installed a 3rd brake light camera and now I want a good monitor to view it on. Did you install new front speakers if so which ones and did you have install issues on stereo or speakers? Where did you place the usb plugs and microphone?

I got the Rockford Fosgate R1675-S. They are 6 3/4" component with a separate tweeter. They went right in the door with a speaker adapter. The tweeters actually had a perfect friction fit into the factory tweeter mount and I just added a little hot glue to make sure they didn't come out.
For the usb plugs i bought a round dual usb plug thing that is made for mounting on a panel or something and it fits perfect in the hole for the cigarette lighters. I put it in place of the one on the right side of the dash. It looks factory.

It was pretty technical flashing the maestro interface with my computer and tons of wires to hook up and I had a few little technical issue I had to play with but no major problems. I started out trying continue using the factory sync system for the bluetooth and hands free because I thought it would probably sound better than using the mic that came with the radio but I was having issue with that too and finally just gave up on that part and I'm using the radio for everything.
I went with the Kenwood DDX395. Would have done something without a screen if I didn't need it for the backup camera. I run everything off my phone as far as maps and music. Also got a 10" powered sub off amazon that I installed behind the drivers seat on the wall. The system sounds pretty good overall. I installed one of Heins switches in the dash as well that allows me to switch the incoming power from the van to my house batteries. Now I can listen to the stereo as long as I want when stopped without draining the start battery.
I figured the $100 was fair to someone who got a base stereo and wanted to upgrade. I'd take most any offer at this point, just hate to throw it away if someone can use it.
