The install is clean, but I'm not exactly clear on the logic of having an LCD monitor installed at hip level, especially in an automobile, though. No flame, just on observation. I hope you enjoy it.

Off topic. What kind of alarm? How does it work with the oem fobs?

Well if it's off topic, why would you ask a off topic question?

I'm assuming your alarm has proximity sensors as well. Clifford or Matrix?

sure buddy. i know you want to know too.

i'm curious to know if the oem fob and alarm fob are synchronized in terms of lock/unlock. if so, after market fob and the ls460 wallet key... ftw.

- 100gb Hard drive.
- Dvd Player (since i dont have ML)
- Ipod compatible Connected and powered
- Plays CD / Cd-r / Dvd-r / Dvd-rw
- Can be used for external inputs For example: xbox 360
- You can watch TV channels. Only if you have the satellite installed on top of the roof of the car.
- A much better detailed Navigation.
- Car Computer coming soon.. I will be able to use the internet if need and i will have a printer in the car for business purposes.

Having 2 screens is a plus point for me.. I can use Nav on one screen and Audio / Dvd on the bottom screen. Many people dont like the idea. But it is very useful for me. ;-)

It was installed at hip level .. because i did not have any other place where i could place the screen. I tried to make everything look stock. Anything higher would might have ruined the look of the interior. Thanks for appreciating my personal choice. ;-)

I have a Black Widow Security Alarm.

Here is a website: http://www.blackwidowsecurity.com/

The way it works with oem fob is like this. You have to have the oem fob key with you at all times ( Only way to start the car ). But with the black widow alarm you have a remote which allows you to lock or unlock the car. So basically i carry a oem fob and a black widow alarm remote. I dont mind it all .. because for security why not carry another remote. But with the black widow alarm you can unlock your car within 1,000 feet. You can also make sure your car is locked . If it is unlocked then you will see a unlock sign on your remote. So it helps you out instead of locking your IS 20 times to make sure you locked it correctly. Also with the black widow remote you can see where someone broke in or where did they hit you on the remote. So its pretty neat. I basically got it for extra security.. if someone hits my car at a market i know instantly.. so i just walk out to see what happened. I wont be paranoid all the time wondering if my car was hit or did someone leave a ding on my door or etc..

I hope that helps..

Let me know if you still need some more information.. ;-)

Message me if you have any questions..

Well once you install the black widow alarm ... it is your choice on which remote you would like to use to unlock or lock. Is that confusing?

Message me if you have any questions..
