since this is a fairly new model i also think they made it virtually impossible to watch dvd's unless your car is at a complete stop (speed sensor now rather than brake wire, which could be grounded)... i can watch dvd's while driving

it retailed for around $2400 when i bought it but got it for $1800... the total investment was around $2500 and i still have steering wheel controls

Ferrari, where are you from?? PM me the info if you dont want the whole world to know...

Were you still able to use the stock speakers and amps or do you have to upgrade those also??

double din finisher and A/C controller, dont need the bracket cause your car already has one...

pac-interface swi-x lets you use the steering wheel controls... it acts as a remote control from the steering wheel to the headunit, as long as your headunit can accept remote controls...
