I bought another Kenwood Keg on eBay, and will get a new Kenwood head unit from MikeyTheMini (European ones can have a wired remote for the steering wheel switches, so no need to drill a hole and mount an IR transmitter!)

The ones I see in your car look much nicer than the set I had. My used MCS came with both warm and cold weather mats. Even in CA I use the rubbermaid set especially this year..GAD we be floating out here. Are you removing all the trick electronic gear also?
