Just installed Pioneer Double Din Radio, the aftermarket radio improved the sound from the stock speakers.

Only problem, people don't steal the OEM radios, but they do steal aftermarket radios, my insurance company actually would want me to carry extra insurance if I put an aftermarket radio. I have a buddy put the same or similar one you put, I think he lost sound especially when watching movies. Looks pretty good do they give you the kit with it to make it fit

No I do not have the Alpine option.

As for the theift issue, you are right but I wanted a Nav and DVD unit and I hate the cords of having individual ones. I wanted this unit for Nav during trips, DVD for my son and back up camera and Sat radio are a bonus. Buying the factory Nav unit even off Ebay for $1500 + was not an option for me. I have had this radio in my last two vehicles, 2006 Dodge Ram and 2008 Dodge charger and have not had any issues with theift (knock on wood). I haven't tried the DVD feature in this vehicle but no problems with sound in the past.

The dash kit and wire harness are not included, but I was able to use the same one that I had from the Charger.
