New Double DIN Bought

I just bought a new double DIN head unit off of eBay for $350. Its the Kenwood DPX-4020. It retails for $450-500 so I know I got a good deal. I was wondering if anyone has this same head unit in their Max? It looks great and from what I can tell has every feature I'll need. Also, what adaptors/plugs will I need to install it? I know it is not an exact plug and play install.
Any feedback on this head unit would be appreciated. I should have it in a few days and Im excited.
Thanks...

If your SE has the Bose sound system then you'll need a special aftermarket harness to use the amplified Bose system with an anftermarket headunit . . . and the antenna adapter which someone else mentioned :-)

I have the clarion max 2256

and the clarion ADX5655z which im selling for $200 (email me at xrrcd@cs.com if you are interested)
since I dont need it anymore, that deck you bought is okay but not for the price you paid, since you can get the ADX5655z for $300 and its a better deck.

The deck I bought is much, much better looking and more appealing than the ADX5655z. I don't see how its a better deck, maybe because you're selling it...hmm...I was going for looks mainly because I am not into getting amps and subs. Just wanted a higher quality head unit than the double din non-bose that I have.
Since I dont have the Bose, what adaptors/harnesses will I need to get?
