I'm more of a computer guy than a car, but I'd like to upgrade my original stereo to Kenwood DDX616.

I was wondering if its gonna be compatible and whether if im gonna have any sort of complication down the road?!?

Tnx bro, I mean am not complaining about the factory one, in fact the quality is good, but its just i wanted to get some LCD and shit in my car and wanted to start with a high end model of stereo with touch screen and shit. But i guess its not gonna be compatible with my car. I already showed it to my buddy who is a German car expert and he said it'd mess up your computer and shit most probably and it is a hassle and don't do it...
bummerrrr
