JDM Double Din Ordered...man does that hurt!!
As much as I love having my own aftermarket stereo in my ride, I have to admit that this JDM double din kit at the tune of 325.00 + tax hurts! Back in the day, 325.00 was a rockin stereo!
But let's face it...we all bought G's because they are practically a work of art...truely a beautiful car. I just dont think it would be right to put the Metra in there. It's like touching up the Mona Lisa with entry level Glidden paint (entry level being the operative words...no hate to Glidden lovers).
I'd bet every single G owner that upgraded their stereo struggled with the same issue. But now that that's out of the way...I can concentrate on the real project....the system. At the moment, I'm leaning toward the AVN-726e from Eclipse for the head unit. I've been given some very plausible arguments that CarPc is the way to go...and to that extent, have not ruled it out.
Will folllow up on my direction... In the meanwhile, suggestions are always appreciated!
Cheers,
Michael

I installed a ECLIPSE AVN726e earlier this month. Its so amazingly fast compared to DVD navigation units. Navigation starts in 5 seconds and GPS signal from a cold start is around 20 seconds. Sound Quality is amazing. I was torn between a kenwood 8120 and this unit, glad i chose the eclipse.

Thats what I thought. And part of that adapter is the antenna. Do you know if there are after market satellite antenna housings (for lack of a better term).... You know, the little fin looking deal on the top of the newer cars..painted to match...
