both radios can't power the same speakers. I assume you only want the screen for picture and cd player for sound? Other wise, get just the flip-out monitor and a cd/dvd player to go beneath it. that will cover audio without creating a prob.

Oh yeah, there won't be a kit needed. you will have to build a trim ring of sorts.

If you have both radio's hooked to the speakers they will backfeed into each other, this will cause major issues. Best thing to do is to use cd/dvd player for sound and leave the flip out for video.

Only way to make both work is use other spekers on one radio. install some in the hatch or something.

It will still back feed in to the other radio and cause issues. There is only one way to do it, it takes like 15 relays and a lot of time. But it is not worth it..

This is the best option if your Kenwood has an aux in or can get the plug to make it an AUX in . So go with what jaimecosio, is doing if you can.
