My new DVD System and fiberglass bitches!

Hey everyone sorry i kept some of you waiting just have been unmotivated recently so heres the deal.
New Phase Linear (Jensen) flipout 7# dvd player 300.00
Sirius Radio conversion 150.00
Custom Fiberglass for sirius 0.00
Other stuff 230.00
Sweet ass system for 680.00 awesome!
Ok heres the details you cannot see I retained my onstar with the 130.00 dollar adapter which also gives you info, retained buttons on steering wheel 100.00 infrared adapter. Fiberglassed the cupholder because it spilled numerous drinks on me and my gf so I decided to make it into something useful and custom. Here are pics and enjoy.
PS You cannot use this idea it is mine and i am sticking to it... I set the 1-6 button on the steering wheel to open and close the dvd player. I know its not the best DVD player but it has all the functions except touchscreen of the alpine top of the line and the picture clarity is amazing. I also used a texture paint to match the rest of the interior. It also has ipod adapter hooked up I can control it from DVD player and the sound quality is so much better.

I would tell you to paint it silver also because i thought about painting my dash kit but it will be hard to match that color and i kinda like the black look it breaks the dash up some

he got the expensive kit because he wanted to retain onstar, which is really about all you need that kit for in these cars anyway.

Thanks man...everything is on a ups truck somewhere I cant wait...

I got the jenson dvd touchscreen, an xm thing (still dont know why I cant just use the factory xm antenna), and the steering wheel button thing.

Can you give me a short how to for the steering wheel button adaptor? where will i have to splice the wires for it and such? Is it too hard to do on your own or should i pay to get it installed "professionally"?

PAY TO GET IT DONE The steering column had to be taken off! Unless your damn good pay someone to do it.

Ummm.....not sure who told you that (in an effort to overcharge you?) but the steering column absolutely does not have to be touched to installed the adapter to keep your steering wheel buttons with an aftermarket stereo. The wires are in the harness that plugs into the factory stereo, and hooking it up is as simple as tapping two wires.

trent, look around at www.pac-audio.com. You can print/look at instructions there (under application guide at the top).
