It only had to rerought 1 wire to a 12v source Cig Lighter to bypass the DVD not working while moving. The price seems to have gone up a little on the HU.

Here is the guy and Model I got.

I'm not recommending it as others have had problems and its "cheap" but... Mine has worked great!

EDIT: The GPS is better at finding locations than my Garmin 1250..
What do you need to buy with it? Wire harness? iPod iPhone cable?

The expensive ones aren't great either, I bought a clarion nx501 and I hate it. I have several Kenwood kvt15 DVDs and chose to buy the clarion because of the built in Bluetooth and nav, but I made the wrong choice.

damn i should have waited a day. hahaha should be interesting when it comes to install time... i have the controls on the steering wheel and it says it supports that but im not sure. and i want to figure out how to make a DVD play when im driving.

how do you plan on installing yours? cutting wires or is there a better way? lol
