Thanks GATOR for the help, I think I am just going to let BB do it. I also want the parking brake by pass done. Im sure I could do it but I already have the money set aside so I will just let them.

well... I did all mine for $35.... all you need is a wiring harness, plastic Double Din adapter plate and the adapter for the antenna. Best buy will not do the parking brake bypass either... it is against policy, unless you get a shady install guy. I would never trust their install bay either. I have seen some real bad rat's nests install behind their decks.

As far as what you need to do. buy all those parts from sonic electronics, and get um in 3 days. I did schoshe everything, and it worked fine, but the metra install kit is a little heavier duty. And all you need to do for a bypass is put a switch to that "parking brake" lead off the dvd player and the other side of the switch goes to ground. Flip the switch on everytime you want to watch, and it is just like engaging your parking brake.

On a side note, I went to my local best buy to buy those 3 parts. THEY WANTED $72 just for the parts! And after I wrote all those part numbers down, found they were going to sell me the higher priced high fi harness, and charge me twice what I paid for the same stuff on sonic electronics.

That's my 2 cents... because I don't like what I have seen as for their installs, and I like to save money
