Thats for sure! The cheapest I have found the harness was on ebay for $90 shipped. The way it hooked up was WELL worth it. I am still have f'n problems hooking up my pac swi-ps though!

For some reason it lets me program it but still doesn't control the unit. I am about to go check all my connections AGAIN.

My head unit ftw

I don't like touch screens.. because of finger prints and.. I think screens are kinda cheesy if the car doesn't already come with it.. I guess it can be pulled off but to each their own.

Pioneer FH-P8000BT... It's amazing. Matches stock Pioneer Speakers.. Almost looks like a factory option from what ppl say. Plays MP3/CD/iPod (placed in glove box & controlled thru head unit)/built in bluetooth w/ awesome speaker.. Just talk to your car no need for an ear piece (chicks dig it ).

Awesome product. Easy to use.. Flawless..

Best part about it? You can find it new for around $250.00 online now

I got mine for the nav, for my job I travel(ed) so it helped allot. As for the dvd player I have no desire to watch dvd's as I am going down the road, but I can listen to the radio, ipod, or hard drive stored music, while my daughter watches a movie in the back seat through a rear mounted screen in the headrest.

That looks no more "unstock" than mine. My stock radio along with hers did all the things your aftermarket does so I don't see any advantage of it. I'm not saying its not nice, but I guess all those feathures are one benefit to having an 09+.

I just noticed rissa's was an 08 so it wouldn't have the bluetooth.

Built in blue-tooth ftw

I could just choose my head unit for the looks of it.. Not to mention the price. I'm just mentioning what features it has. I think it looks clean and I have no use for a screen.

ChriSS/SC, I've always like that headunit. It looks real clean in the dash.

Rissa, I've always loved Pioneer products. They make good quality stuff. Check, ebay, amazon or sonicelectronix to look for cheaper things

here's what I gots...
