looks good, what head did you get? and what mods did you have to do to the metra?

do you actually have passengers in your car to need headrest monitors? can barely get my 6 & 7 yr olds back there!

Head unit is a no name version from ebay. But so far it works great and has features you cannot find in $1400 head units. Picture is fab. Monitors are for other drivers!:headbang: Couple of mods in the metra kit. Had to splice into harness of metra kit for the front speaker wires.+and- Kinda weird why the harness was done that way. Also could not intially get 12v switched power so radio would not come on. Instructions said connect a blue wire of the harness to the brake wire of the head unit. When you look at the blue wire though it has right rear+ stamped on it. Called metra and they said they make the harnesses out of whatever wire is available during manufacturing. I said thanks for stating that in the instructions. Anyway it works great!

Here is a pic of a few of the wires!

Where did u get the metra kit for at 189

ebay on the metra kit 189 free shipping. search ebay and you will find it.

Holy shit!!! How did you get that thing in your dash with those wires all crazy? I'm assuming you bundled them up with either tape and zip ties and tucked them away in the dash?

And yes, there is some slight modification to the speaker wires. Metra assumes you will be using amps so it ships the harnesses with RCA plugs on the ends of the speaker wire. You can either buy an RCA to 2-wire adapter or you can cut off the RCA's and splice.

Good find on the metra kit for 189. I got mine for $200 also with free shipping.

Good luck with the head unit... sounds like it has some sweet options.

looks awesome

if you gotta have it I guess...it just takes away from the look of the dash panel....looks cheesy...cheap JMHO

The silver finish is what I think makes the metra kit look cheap. Painting it makes it look A TON better. See my thread for comparison.

The wires pic was while i was testing everything. Actually the silver blends in with the rest of the trim pretty good I think. As far as cheap looks go,it is all plastic. I didn't want to paint it, but I guess if you want to, everyone has their on style. Wires were wire tied then hidden behind head unit. The space hog was the huge 44pin factory harness plug and the metra interface. It was a tight fit. Next up 2 amps and 2 or 3 15's or 12's! Radio has 50 watts rms, not a rump shaker but it will do till I get the amps and subs in. May not put in subs though. Might just use the 6x9's from The loudest.com I had a pair in my other ride and them boys, with the right amp will make your hair stand up!:thumbup:

What headunit do you have?

When I did mine I made a battle plan, took all of the harnesses and made a couple of long bundles outside of the car with everything connected or soldered. There's really too much going on to do it in the dash properly IMO. Then when I installed used velcro wire bundlers to put it all together. Zip ties are too hard to remove.

Also, I covered the dash plastic with tape and had a towel over everything low...

how is that screen working out for you? i have a kenwood double din nav.. but a freind of mine is looking to get a screen, i might recommend he tries one like you have.
