You didn't specifically ask but ... I changed the head unit on my 2014 Yeti for a Kenwood DNX518VDABS, so just some notes: It's not a cheap option ! The old head unit was separate from the bluetooth, but the Kenwood has bluetooth built in I needed an adaptor for the GPS cable that was already in the car because the connector is different. There is no way to connect the old aux socket into the Kenwood To connect the the existing car microphone requires soldering your own cable between the connectors on the quadlock and the phono in the back of the Kenwood The touch screen on the Kenwood actually works for every touch !!. Audio on the Kenwood is much better Maps look better on the Kenwood The navigation integration into the driver display has less info', and is generally less sophisticated e.g. it always tells you about the next junction even if it's 70 miles down a straight road The Kenwood audio instructions for navigation are not so intuitive as the original - e.g. take one roundabout and the 2nd exit and as you take the exit the audio says something like "at the round about take the third exit", it's telling you about the next roundabout but you may be momentarily confused - the original satnav's instructions were never that ambiguous. At roundabouts where there is a route straight across, or you can go around the outside for the other junctions the Kenwood always tells you to drive right around the outside even when you really want to go straight across. Overall I like the Kenwood better but there are some points to think about.

New battery and no more problem. Thanks for the help.

Possibly/probably - I haven't owned it from new. Good point, I can check the voltage ...

Starting problem: engine cranks but does not start, after a few attempts it doesn't crank and all the lights on the dashboard just keep flashing if you hold the key in the start position. First guess was the battery, but when I charged it it seemed healthy - charger initially showed charging at about 1.5 amps but after approx 10 mins was down to 0.5 amps so I assumed it was healthy and reconnected. After reconnecting the same symptoms are repeated ... initially cranks but doesn't start and after a few attempts it just flashes the dashboard lights. I guess it could actually be a battery issue - it's old - but I'd like to know for sure. Any ideas appreciated. P.S. I did look through the forums but I didn't find anything that exactly matched my issue - sorry if I missed something.
