If it was you, could you go into more detail on which braket, and what you did to it, to make it fit flush ?

I dont think we can DL wallpaper to the unit, at least not that I know of. It will be sweet if we can tho.

Yeah, I dont have a DVD burner, but if I could put MP3's onto DVD that would be awesome. I could go a month without changing the disk ! Anyone out there playing mp3's from a dvd data disk?

Only downsides are that 1) you have to find a trim that fits, or DIY one. The one it comes with doesnt fit that well. 2) It does not show the clock unless you switch to the main manual. 3) it gets hella hot when playing for awhile. 4) Not retractable(safety reason).
All and all, I love mine.

They sound alright...but for some reason I dont think they sound as good as the factory HU. Maybe its me that dont know how to adjust the eq. Anyhow, thats why Im getting my speakers done so it can really do its job.

I have the headunit connected to the factory non bose, and I was impressed with how much better it sounded overall...a much fuller, richer sound, even with the EQ all zeroed out.
headunit works really well...plays every DVD I have put into it yet. One thing that bugs me is the inability for you to use the onscreen controls for playing, chapter search, etc on every DVD....the remote is much easier to use, thoughit would be nice to use on screen (or better yet, they should incorporate the buttons to the side of the unit itself, to avoid hitting the screen)

I've got quotes from local dealers ranging from $1100 to $1300.

I've noticed alot of ppl using this unit with the factory non-Bose speakers... but I've got the Bose system and I'm currently looking to just replace my head unit with this one.
How does it sound? Is there anything special about the install at all, and finally is there any wire harness adapter?
