Looks very nice -- exactly like my '05! Go figure!

Did you put in a CD changer, too?

the sound from the dvd come through the aux1 on the xm band

in dash dvd player

i placed 3 switches here as you can see the one labeled nav allows my passenger (LOL)to use all the nav options while the vehicle is in motion. The one labled dvd will turn the dvd onto the screen. and of course the cam will allow me to activate a rear camera while driving.

allthough these pics aren't the best quality the sharpness on the screen from the dvd is excellent.

6 disc changer under the rear seats

and of course the nav

Hmmm... I posted too soon! The entire setup looks great -- I am jealous! I would love to put in the DVD and changer! That is next on my "to do" list!

i removed the onstar and placed the dvd player there. i did have to modify the back of the dash behind the onstar. There is a bracket that i had to cut back so the dvd player would fit nice you will also notice that it is a little bigger than a standard din opening. so i used window sealing foam tape 1/2 and just ran it around the unit. i suppose you could find a face plate but it looks good for me so i will keep it that way. when i modified the bracket in the back i took a little out at a time and checked fitment (depth) each time till i was satisfied with the look

Great job, FiremanJay. Very creative approach to mounting three switches in a small area.

I'm not up on all the latest A/V stuff so . . .

When you have a 6 disc changer, is there any need to insert DVDs in the dash-mounted unit? Is there enough room behind the shifter to insert a DVD if you wanted to?

Where did you mount the rear cam?

Jason did my install at his shop http://homepage.mac.com/redbulljunkie/PhotoAlbum1.html
And you are right great group of guys! I also have the axxcess installed.

Well my 6 disc changer only works for cd's but you could get a dvd changer that will do the same job as an in dash unit.
You could place a dvd player in the center console, you will need to make sure that it will work mounted verically as well as horizontal. You will need to modify the inside of the center console. The NAV/DVD dash unit only reads data DVD's and i keep my NAV disc in there all the time. It will play cd's i understand but i never used it for that due to the 6 disc changer.

I havent mounted the rear cam yet. I am trying to decide on either the H2cam, or another one that will mount lower. It all depends on if i want to install a rear tire carrier. If i do the H2cam wont be as effective when hooking up a trailer, due to the tire will be blocking my view i think. So im still deciding what i want to do

I have been to Ohio a few times to attend the chilothe (spelling) bike rally
