Aftermarket Command center

not easy ... there is a way that you can do what you want but it's a seriously custom job

some good photos of what can be done are in there
and when you get to post #11 there will be some links to tutorials

good luck and have fun

edit: also see the 'sticky' FAQ under the Alarm, Security and Audio section

i thought that those threads were the ones that had the info for how to keep the DIC ... i know at least one or two people have done it

oh ok cool... thought i might have been losing it there for a minute
