Did you need to buy the bracket to install the headunit or did you use to stock bracket?

Also, did you use any wire harnesses for the bose amp?

I think it is like if you have the stock nav, you loose the stock nav voice. The BT HU will prob be your default BT with the new HU. Hope that makes sense.

I used my stock bracket and it worked just fine, all you have to do it drill some screws into it. I heard that you only need to buy a bracket if you have a sedan..<<< Don't ask me why lol, no idea.

Did you manage to fit the trim piece around the frame of the double din? The finisher has too little space for mine to fit. Mines an '04 though.

I got it to fit, I don't know if its because I have an 05 or it could be becuase I sanded the edges down a bit.

LOL ya, It does but I don't think the firmware has came out for most phones to be compatible..I have an iPhone and it won't work..yet....

I actually got it hidden UNDER the dash closer to the right corner of the windsheild.

I didn't want it shown.

I have that same issue, not enough space for the trim, i hate that look, it appears unfinished to me... any suggestions on how to get it to work or maybe an aftermarket trim???????

Any ideas???

P.s. I also tried restoring th ipod but since i bought it a week ago theres not much to go back to.
