Thanks pinks. I went to the new CC in Signal Hill (off of Atlantic next to Home Depot).

CC charged me $59.99, much cheaper than the quote I got from Best Buy ($130 )

Has anyone had that PAC mp3 aux device added to their stock radio? I think the device is like 80-90 bucks, but how much could someone expect to pay to get this installed?

I routed the cig. lighter charger cable from the arm rest into the cubby area. My TomTom 910 has a dock so all the cables (power, ext. mic, and line out) connect directly to the dock. At first, I thought having all these cables connected to the dock was very troublesome but after doing this mod I just have to detach/attach the unit onto the dock when I enter/leave the car. No messing with connecting the wires.

PS. I also have the PAC NIS adapter connected to the stock HU and using the line out feature from the dock to output sound through the car speakers.

I so want to do this to my 06 sedan. I even went to Circuit City today, but the car electronics service guy said he doesn't have anyone experienced enough to work on my car. I think i could do this install, but if i mess it up, there goes my warranty coverage.

btw. I have a garmin 660

Either you guys are all brave or the Circuit City and Best Buy stores out west have much better installers!

New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland, not a Circuit City or Best Buy I have been to will even touch a G for after market A/V or Navi...

I must have been to 20 different stores in this area and I can see the techs in the garage shaking their heads whenever a sales guy has gone into the shop to ask about installations on a G.

I'm not a guru on GPS, but if you installed the PAC NIS device (i'm guessing it's the PAC AAI-NIS2), do you need a GPS that has audio output to run it to the audio input on the PAC NIS device?

I just bought a Garmin Nuvi 750 (the 4.3" widescreen one) and used velcro backing to attach it to the cubby door. Then I removed the shift ****, center console cover, driver side center console side pillar thing, etc.....then ran a looooong cigarette adapter plug from the cubby back to the adapter plug in the center armrest

NOTE: I have a 2006 coupe.

I will post pictures as soon as i have time to upload them. But the wire is hidden from the cubby....under the panels...and back to the armrest. Very clean look...u dont see any wires.
