upgraded the stereo again

Gave the wife the older Alpine I had in the truck and bought a new Alpine, also moved the DVD player from the overhead bin to a dash mount now too. So now I have am/fm/cd/mp3/xm/dvd. Who needs an ashtray and lighter anyway

Man that is a sweet set up! Do you know of an aftermarket head unit that is the same size as the stock unit? I want to upgrade mine, but don't want to have the stupid little tray afterwards.

That setup is sweet above the ashtray area. The upper part of the install looks sweet, but I am not a big fan of the unit in the ashtray area. But other than that, it is sweet. I wouldn't put a DVD where you have it though, I would be too tempted to watch something while driving, big trouble, especially if watching something like gone in 60 seconds, gives you the urge to put that pedal to the floor. Not always a good thing! HAHA.

That's my dream setup I hope to get early next year.
