I have a Pioneer Avic-D3/bluetooth/IPod adapter. It cost me about $700. You lose the DIC unless you are willing to cut up your original deck. Just spend some time searching.

pjd, that is F'n clean! Few questions. Is that some kind of dash kit u bought or u cut into it? also, is the volume (or can it be) controlled by the knobs from the stock radio? and where is the CD deck?

and does it have an aux in jack somewhere for an ipod?

its actually the factory unit that i cut and molded and yes all factory buttons work including [presests) and yes an ipod plug comes out at the center console

What did you use to fill in the cracks? I'm thinking about bondo, though it would be my first time working with the stuff.

Were you able to keep all functionality (steering wheel buttons, dic, preset buttons, door chimes etc)? if you did, was it hard?

ps i know nothing about radios but im going to be looking into a setup similar to yours. would like to do it all myself as u did and save a lil cash.
