PIC UPDATE

Just installed a new radio! Its pretty sweet.... It is a single din flip out, so its a 9.3" touch screen with DVD, Bluetooth, CD, GPS,IPOD, USB,AUX, Backup camera, and WIFI. Its amazing. And it actually works!

However, i had to redo all the wiring connections, and didnt use ANY of the harnesses in the dash. MAJOR PITA.
