I installed mine. I have NAV and 6mt so it's a little different, but let me know if you have any questions and I'll help out as much as I can.

Dude, thats easy. I've installed everything from headrest monitors to full blown carpc's and all it tool was a little google search and some patience. Nothing like doing it yourself that way you know what to do or where to look if something ever goes wrong

well, I'm willing to help the person out if need be so i can learn at the same time..I'd rather have it done right the first time so nothing gets messed up as we go along..I know you learn from your own mistakes, but I'm not trying to spend anymore money for problems/mistakes that may arise as the install is done..better to have it done right the first time..the mechanical stuff is not as complicated as doing the electrical/electronical stuff..i heard you can swap out the current Dual control over to the jdm kit..is that true?

I just did mine and only took about 1.5 hours to do total. That was with installing the wiring from the head unit to the amp in my trunk. the DIY that Lexusk8 linked is what I used. total time with the head rest screens was all of about 3 hours. not bad IMHO.
