thanks man....it was worth the wait although it has some tweeking still to do, thanks....had i had to do it again i would have known i coulda pulled the OEM GPS and added a non nav one like chris did, i knew you could do it to the 1998-2000 but until i was in the middle of this i didnt know i could do it to the 2001+

yes...there is a company who makes a adaptor to use a ipod/iphone for video/audio but i cant get one of them to post it on here....i will PM him and try to get him to...

Interesting looking tattoo you have there, Brian.

If you don't mind me asking, roughly how much did everything cost?
yeah, i thought some of you would enjoy the truffle shuffle....

thanks man....thats one of 13 tats i have....my legs are completely wrapped although dressed up, you wouldn't ever know.

which one thomas, the tat or the audio build?

thanks man,i dunno, actually what im a tad pissed bout is instead of making the side pieces a piece they made them a removable piece with the fabric stretched under the moldings so there isnt a line like you would see on a remove able piece but the probably is removing this isnt a funny/easy task

i waited so long as i had WAY to many projects going on.....even between my motorcycle and the jeep in the garage.....it was a long long wait.....but worth it so far
