personally i think the front usb looks sloppy and fragile. I like the rear usb that my kenwood x891 has, easily hidden and still accessable in my ashtray since i dont smoke, and it keeps the front looking clean and sleek.

That's a good point. I've heard other people mention the same issue with front USB slots. I could step up to the KDCx592 which the rear USB. The only other difference appears to be cosmetic, and the display.

y front??? use a rear and shove it in the glove box. less of a chance to break the thumb drive. i broke 2 allready

whats the point of the copy ( carforall.net )???

^^^^ he was a spammer dude.

I sent you a PM for the price of the 492 as asked. Thanks for the opportunity to earn your business.

ahh now i know lol thks

Okay,
So we ended up getting the KDCx592. Here's the story...

Went to EHR today. Was told that the price had been "recently reduced" to $249, from $279. That the necessary wiring harness and hardware kit were $35 and $25, respectively. After tax that was going to run us $350 and change, not including any installation. I had already sent an email to one of their salesmen, via their email address, and was quoted $225 for that same unit.

Feeling like I was getting the "shaft", we left. My fiancee, being the more "ballzy" decided she wanted to go back in and renegotiate. She came out with a price of $219 for the 592.
While in the parking lot we called FM Audio here in Brantford, to find out what they sold the harness and kit for... the guy we spoke to asked what we were getting the deck for, and told me that the hardware (both) would total $40.
Long story short, we're getting the deck for $219, plus $40 hardware, from FM Audio. They also have a free install on head-units right now, as it turned out. He said that we would probably be charged a shop fee for the wiring connections that are going to be used, about $10.

So $305 after tax, including install. Instead of $350 after tax, without install.

I haven't been happy with FM Audio in the past, as you may have seen me state once or twice. But it appears that have new guys running the car audio department, so who knows, we might have better luck this time around.
