Hi all,
Just wanted to let everyone know I got the Metra Kit installed this week. Everything works great! Thanks to Brandon at the local Best Buy! Those guys did a great job and were very professional. This was the first 5th Gen for them so they took there time and wired everything in like pro's. They even were able to fit the Pioneer Ipod connector into the normal usb connector so that it looks factory. USB and XM antenna went under the front cowl right below the windshield wipers.. We're waiting on a extension cable for the xm so that I can use the factory antenna. The only thing they were not able to do was use the factory mic. Hopefully in time someone will figure out how to tap into the harness so I can eliminate the external mic....
All the HVAC controls and SWC's work great.. The only minor glitch there is the built in cell phone will not anwere using the SWC, I have to answer using the phone button on the mirror. Not a problem as I mostly use the BT phone anyway. I had to order a special ipod cable for the pioneer so I don't know yet how well all that will work but I don't see that it will be a problem as the head unit recognizes the ipod and everything there just isn't any sound.
The metra kit could fit the dash a little better but i'm not disappointed.
