that looks good man, i'm looking to do the same thing in the next couple of weeks. do you have an ipod or an iphone hooked up to the CD-IU200V? i was just wondering how the video playback on the screen was for either of them. also, did the metra kit come with everything you needed to install the unit? i wasn't sure if you needed an additional pioneer installation kit or not.

Thanks. I have a ipod and video play back is good, but using a a dvd still looks better. Metra Kit includes everything. The only other things i picked up were the Pioneer Steering wheel controls and the Pioneer cord for the Ipod.

So if I'm understanding this right you have to have the 'PAC SWI-PS - Pioneer and Sony Steering Wheel Radio Control Interface' for the controls on your stock steering wheel to work?

^^ Correct. There maybe other options but I went with the PAC SWI-PS

good shit, one of these days i'm going to go back in and install the steering wheel control and a backup cam. i just hate taking taking it out and reinstalling it so much

looks good man nice job

thanks everyone.

I debated the steering wheel controls, but with everything being touch screen it is nice to just beable to adjust the volume and change tracks with out having to take my eyes off the road or playing around with the HU. I would highly recommend the steering wheel controls if you do the install.
