I'm selling my stereo I had in my 2009 WRX. It's a Kenwood KVT-819DVD Excelon which is the high end model, great for if you plan on adding an amp/better speakers. Here's some info from crutchfield:
The Kenwood Excelon KVT-819DVD DVD receiver lets you enjoy movies and music in your vehicle, build a system to fit your lifestyle, and control it all from a bright 7" touchscreen. View your favorite movies on the KVT-819DVD when you're parked, or enjoy all your music burned to CDs or DVDs when you're on the road. The KVT-819DVD will even play high-quality DVD-Audio discs.
Two USB inputs let you listen to music files on a thumbdrive, or use the receiver to charge your digital devices. You can add a game console or separate video source with the two audio/video inputs, or use the A/V output to connect a separate back seat monitor. Dual-zone mode allows front seat passengers to enjoy music while people in the rear seat watch a movie.
You'll find a host of options for building a system. Add Kenwood's optional navigation system for complete turn-by-turn directions. The optional Bluetooth® adapter lets you hear incoming calls on your compatible phone through your stereo, while the optional iPod® adapter gives you total control over your videos and music through the receiver's touchscreen.
Kenwood's add-on HD Radio™ tuner improves the sound quality of participating AM/FM stations. Hook up an optional rear-view camera, a great option if you have a large vehicle or tow a trailer.
Note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check "Hands-on Research" for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver or its optional iPod adapter.

Included accessories:
BT-200 Bluetooth Adapter
KNA G510 Garmin Navigation unit
KC-iP300V iPod cable (allows you to control your iPod from the head unit, very awesome)
single DIN mounting kit for double DIN vehicles (like the 2008+ WRX/STI). Same one from the picture with extra storage space underneath it.
I will also include the wiring harness if I can find it.
I will include photos in second post.
Everything has worked great and has been taken care of. I have all the manuals and original boxes that came with it. This unit was installed in the spring of 2009 just before I was deployed for 6 months and was taken out of the car in October of last year when I traded the car in. It only has about 1 year of actual use in the 2 years I've had it. Brand new from Crutchfield all of this cost over $1600. I'd like to get $750 but am open to offers and possibly trades. Let me know.
