That's a really good DIY write up. I wanted to do it myself on my LX, but when I went to Circuit City they offered to do it for me for $80. I weighed out my options and since no one had a how to and this being a new car, it was worth the cost for me. Plus the professional install was nice. Nothing plugged into the cig lighter thing and no wires running all over the place. I think they did it in about 30 minutes and did a really good job. Plus I can sleep at night knowing that if anything goes wrong with it, I can take it to circuit city and they'll fix it for free for me or if I get a new car in a few years, they'll uninstall it for free for me.

Now all I need is some speakers, a new head unit and some subs, because let's be honest here; the factory system sucks bad! Maybe next month I'll get it all in one shot and let Circuit City do the install.
