Ya i just went ahead and bought it from they but it isn't that big of a deal for me. He told me that it was going to be by 110 dollars but when it came to pay for it, it was only 80.

as a matter of fact i am colorblind! but it is not that severe. so I probably could have done it.

Harness is halfprice if you purchase the headunit. add the items to your cart to give you an idea of price

also here is the video i made
http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...19962002779213

MEATLOAF MAAAA!

I must've laughed for 5 minutes after that phone call. Sounds like something I would've done.

Thanks for the video review. I've been looking at picking up one of these for quite a while (looks like everyone is lately judging by all the NAV threads), and I really appreciate seeing it in action since demoing one in the store really doesn't let you test all of the features (bluetooth, mic, etc). How does the mic pick up? One of my biggest complaints about headsets/mics is that their quality is rather nasty. I'm hoping this one works well, since I'd like to stop holding the phone on my shoulder while I shift.

Awesome. I was thinking I'd put the mic in the same spot you did. I thought about putting the GPS antenna on the back lid like yours also, but I might do the passenger corner by the windshield also. It all depends on how stealthy I can make it look. This is definitely high up on my "toys to buy" list. Thanks again.

does anyone know if you have videos/pictures on your ipod touch will they play alright on the pioneer in dashes (preferably the AVIC-F900BT)? also i see some people load pictures onto the screens, do you need a sd card for that? does that picture only pop up when the system loads up or can you have it on while listening to music as well?

alright i just bought the f90bt on ebay from a pretty reputable looking electronics store. im pretty sure its coming with the deck, the ipod cable, the mic/holder/cable, and some thing with a long cable and a small square box attached to the end (what is that???). they are also throwing in the dash kit for free.

so i think i need an antenna adapter, steering wheel control interface, and gmos harness?????????
is that it???

i may get the xm adapter and backup cam but those will probably be a lil later

sumone please help me out a little

i installed the GMOS harness, gimme a minute or two to get the pic uploaded. If you have never installed a radio i wouldnt recommend this as your first install.

if you have an 07-09 you will need the GMOS LAN4 adapter unless you dont have onstar or pioneer system. You will need the antenna adapter (bestbuy.com for 15.00) and if you want the wheel controls you can purchase that through crutchfield.com

now did you get your harness through crutchfield or best buy? i may go get it installed at best buy caz i only know basics about wiring but i do want to bypass so i can have the dvd on and i know they wont do that. is that hard to do?

and what is that thing with the little box attached that u mounted in the back window when you made your video?
