so everyone just thinks stay factory style, or just not a flip up one, like just less expensive but good flat one. thanks

Looks like everyone said keep the factory radio. You were also urged to research the impacts of changing the radio on your vehicle.

I guess you'll do what you want to do anyway.

I find your sig discomfiting. If you are a Marine sniper, I'm not sure what you're shooting at in LA.

A Marine sniper in what?

piggelin · 03-14-2010, 08:34 PM

cod = call of duty, its a game. lol

jjmanda · 03-14-2010, 08:43 PM

Oh, see I'm too old to be into that stuff.

So as a former Marine myself, I'm thinking "what's a Marine sniper in cod?"

VP Electricity · 03-14-2010, 09:20 PM

So your other ride is a videogame where you pretend to kill people as a sniper.

Back when I played FPS, "sniper" was a derogatory term.

PITA

CoD Marine sniping aside - I just went through this debacle of replacing the factory HU. It can be done, but it's a giant PITA, especially if you have a Logic7 system. My advice, listen to these guys, they're GOOD

.

Personally I scrapped the idea in favor of a MUCH simpler line out converter + sub/amp. Is it flashy? Nope. Can i watch DVD's while driving/sitting? Nope. But it sounds good and retains the un-flashy factory look. Do some research here and think about what you really want.

YMMV.
