Some ABS plastic, Glue, a saw/grinder to cut the plastic pieces and your ac controls, and then your paint products.. bondo, high build primer, sandpapers, base, clear, etc. good luck!

Yes, if you plan on having it in there permanently charging plus sending out a music signal. You could jailbreak your ipad to add an app that disables the Acessory Plugged In screen, and simply plug the ipad into the usb drive with no hardware. You will have to plug the usb into a laptop or charger every couple weeks to charge it tho. but it saves you the 200$ for the istreamer

U have to remove the 2 screws holding the plastic bezel above your instrument cluster. once removed u can pull that straight out and you will see another screw to remove holding the trim piece with the ac vent in place. remove it then u can pull the trim from the bottom and all the clips will come off. for the other side, you have to swing the glove box out, then look up into the dash and remove the 3 bolts holding the airbag in. push the airbag from the inside out while prying with a screwdriver from the outside and that will come off, exposing another screw to remove. once that screw is removed u can pull that dash trim off like the other side. then the actual radio bezel has the 2 screws on the top under the rubber mat, and one screw under the lil cover where the Aux in/usb is. after those 3 screws your radio bezel can be removed. depending on how the prioneer was installed, u can plug and play install your oem unit. it sounds like alot of work, but its not too bad

The iStreamer goes into a cigarette lighter. It comes with the adapter, ausb cable, the streamer itself and some RCAs. The iStreamer charges the ipad while also processing the sound for a clean signal to the aux in.. i have one im willing to sell if youre interested
