Hi,

I don't have a sunroof so I had the monitor installed in the middle bin (moved the sunglasses bin to the front). The monitor can fold out of the way when not in use and you can hear the voice commands even when the bin is closed if you turn the volume up a little. The DVD head is in the Onstar 1/2DIN slot, the Onstar head is concealed in th dash and the Onstar controls are moounted between the two A/C vents on the front dash. I wanted an Onstar-compatible mirror and had one from a GM Jimmy, but the "generation" of the mirror and Onstar have to be compatible, so unfortunately I was unsuccessful with moving the Onstar controls to the RV mirror. If you have a sunroof, there are photos of a quality monitor install elsewhere on the forum.

BTW, the Pioneer system works fine in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, but there is no data other than primary and secondary roads in many less-populated Texas counties. The GPS will track your movements nonetheless and plot and remember your course travelled. The GPS appears very accurate in positioning the vehicle.

I have photos of my monitor,etc. but I've just recently downloaded the .jpeg images into my home network so it will take me some time to rework the file sizes and get them ready to "push" to the forum (technologically-challenged when it comes to home computers and my "idiot savant" smart home system!!).
