I'm in the middle of installing mine at the moment (no where near as sweet a set up as yours mind you). In relation to the fitment/metra kit did you purchase this separatly? Mine just comes with a square one which dosen't fit overly nicely.

In the photo showing the glove/sub compartments the rear speaker grilles are ... gone. I have seen mentioned that they (the grilles can't be removed. Did the installer cut out the grilles or am I wrong re: removing them?

You haven't said if you've found a camera yet so I thought I'd suggest looking at two of my favorite web sites for them.
www.supercircuits.com
www.scdlink.com
Both these guys sell the smallest cameras in the world plus all sorts of other color and black and white cameras. I've done plenty of business with SuperCircuits and only stumbled upon Security Cameras Direct recently but they too have a huge selection.
I love the work on the head end and the custom subwoofer/amplifer work back aft.

I love this unit. I just got done installing mine. I am still waiting on my Daimond Audio D661s componet speakers for my fronts. I did however install Boston Accoustics NX67 in the rear and install the X541 Kenwood 4 channel amp in the stock BOSE speaker location to power the Daimonds when I get them and the SUBS when I am done with the box.
I am currently making a custom sub box the will sandwich in between the strut bar. I am going to fire the 2 10inch subs at the floor instead of out toward the rear of the car. I think it will give me a deeper/cleaner sound.
I ran a set of RCA to the rear storage compartment for Video in to the DDX-7015. Future plans for a XBOX or Playstation. Or I might setup a mini/nano PC with a TV card and NAV software. I have seen a few people that have hooked up BACKUP CAMS. There are a lot of different options out there.
3FIDDY just connect the green wire/BRAKE to the black stereo ground.

I didn't get a chance to see how well it would work stealthed like my Sirius Satelite Antenna.
On my next work around I'll check that out and see how that goes.
I am going to be installing the Audio Control Unit after all.
I had heard a few things previously about that had caused me to delay it, but apparently they are no longer a problem.

Back on the Parking Brake item...
I am installing my unit now and like others had realized we can just ground the green wire and the video works. I am seeing here that this is only so for 40 hours and we need to build a RELAY. S2L even posted a diagram.
The diagram does not show what happens to the Antenna Power wire from the new RELAY and from what I have seen in other installs of this unit this wire is required in order to amplify the antenna signal.
Where do you get this RELAY (Radio Shack?) and what do I ask for?
Do all RELAYS come with the 5 slots you show in the diagram?
Where do you go with the antenna wire after the RELAY?

I am not sure that the 40 hours is an issue with the DDX-7015. I think it's only for the unit that have a flip out display. I haven't had mine long to tell if I will have the issue or not.

Hey All....
It's been a while since I have any free time for this, and I keep getting various compliments on my equipment choices, and setup, and of course the installer, Mobile Connection in San Fernando.
Thank you for the compliments, input, and suggestions, it's been a sweet ride and setup.
I just wanted to pop in here, say what's up, and if anyone has any new input/ideas as far as what's out there...
thanks again!
