At this time, there is no double din that is automatically compatible with sync. U have to buy a kit like the axxess frst to make the headunit compatible with sync AND you steering wheel buttons. If u install any double din or headunit without a sync interface in between, u WILL lose sync functions. The problem is that any sync kit costs almost 200$

The info I gave you above will allow you to retain sync if you give them a call and purchase the necessary device that is needed

Btw, there are a few of the new Kenwood DDins that are compatible fully with the Sync system. You will have to get a piece from ADS (IIRC) but will be able to display the Sync commands and have full control of Sync on the DDin. Also, you will still be able to use the SWC and maintain the factory Sirius Tuner, USB/AUX ports, and BT.

Do u have any model numbers? I know kenwood is releasing a couple double dins with a price tag of about 1600$ msrp (1000$ on ebay) that claim to be compatible, BUT they need to be used with the Idatalink Maestro interface, which STILL isnt available
