I have been looking to update the radio on my 07 RTL Ridgeline. I got the Kenwood DNR476S from Crutchfield. They were very helpful in suggesting this model based on my interest in what I was looking for. I live in a small town in MI. When I called to a couple of car audio installation shops in a bigger city (~60 mi away), they tried to tell me that they would be able to do better if I bought the system from them. That meant I had to go to their shop to pick up what I wanted, then I would have to go again to have it installed.
After talking to Crutchfield sale's advisor, I was told the system was easy to install, just plug and play with the special wire harness designed for Honda Ridgeline. I ordered the system (paid around $700 including shipping). I took it to my local Indy mechanic with the printed installation instructions prepared by Crutchfield. Indeed, it was a plug and play after about two hours, the unit was installed in my 07 Ridgeline. It has a Garmin GPS and much more. Just what I was looking for.
 
I just installed a Kenwood 5201NEX which has bluetooth, navigation, and Sirius in my 2012 Ridgeline Sport from "Best Buy" for $525.00, I also changed all of the speakers and installed "Boss" speakers.I also purchased the cable interface which allows control of the unit from the steering wheel. Also purchased an emergency brake interface cable which allows the passenger to input GPS location information while the vehicle is moving. Everything fit very nicely and sounds a lot better than the original 2 din radio.
