A:AnswerYes they charge for the kit. There are two kits. A wire harness kit and a face kit. Different vehicles require different kits. The type of radio you purchase determines what type of face kit you will need. The additional cost is between $30-$50 dollars for both. I highly recommend buying them.
Most radios have good instructions for wiring the harness. For the wires you should use tube connectors. It should take about an hour to replace a stock radio with an aftermarket radio.
A:AnswerNo, it is not SiriusXM ready. However, you can download SiriusXM on your phone and listen that way if you have a subscription. Don’t know about the compatibility with your vehicle, but it cost over $800 for us because the kit for the Mustang was so expensive.
A:AnswerYes plays music and waze will chime in when needed. Has two separate volumes, One for music and one for waze. Can set volume separately. One loud one not so loud. Not familiar with waze music.
A:AnswerNo, this is a very basic unit. I returned it for a much better unit for just $50 more at Best Buy. The Pioneer DMH-2660NEX is a unit that you can change the color of the controls and many more features I would highly recommend the DMH-2660NEX unit, I am very pleased with that unit.
