So go for the kenwood or eclipse
someone already said it, but on most of the CD/DVD/MP3 systems with the flipout all you have to do is ground the wire that is supposed to be hooked to the parking brake........or where ever your manual says to wire it to.

From some reading I had done on the Pioneer Avic-Z2, Silverdiesel3 is correct - it can't be bypassed as of yet. Most other manufacturer's however can be. My Alpine has a goofy sequence between the brake pedal and e-brake pedal but a $65.00 module took care of that for me.

I wish it fit right in, me and the dremel had are work cut out for us. Ended up not only having to cut the trim cover but the dash itself beind the cover.

Here is a pic without the trim cover on. To get an idea of how much I had to trim, the screws on the brackets I made are about the height of the old radio.


Here is a pic of the back side of the trim cover so you can also see how much I had to trim.


hope that helps yall out, I posted a thread a while back about the whole install if you want to search for it.

i my self own otherr viechals ,and i have been happy w/alpine easy to use and learn .not so easy to install for the person whos never done one ,its not a regular install. but anyway i have an alpine d310 dvd player in dash w/ the alpine blackbird nav .the blackbird is a stand alone sys (portabale) since alpine makes both pieces you can get a docking station to link them together everthing on the mian screen ,that way wether im out on a job w/ my van i can put the blackbird there (2) let the woman use it in her car ,(3) i put it in the bug rig for when im towing the camper going away i can watch dvd w/ the nav turned on .one plus i liked is that when u set it up like this there is no disk u have to put in like the pioneer ect... a+++ in my book the uniit is expandable too

fordracing19, just a metra install kit unless you already have one or are making your own. Other than that you should be set.
