Radio upgrade

[41ants]

I just couldn't deal with not having XM radio for the past couple of months that I have been driving the excursion, so I did a little upgrade.
Goals: XM radio, stealth, clean crisp mids/highs, some low frequency fill, maintain as much cargo space as possible. I thought about doing the barn door speaker install that is in another thread, but I wanted to be able to yank the equipment out when I am ready for the next vehicle. I have a bad tendency to flip out of cars within a year or two. The other very important requirement that I needed was to retain the factory DVD for my boy.

Thanks man. At some point down the road, I am probably going to go ahead and add two additional 10's in the barn doors and some 4" drivers in the front doors. I have a guy locally that has done a few exursions in the past and overall he seems to be knowledgeable and a straight shooter... Not a good combination for my wallet, as playing around with this vehicle is very addicting.

were you able to maintain the steering wheel controls of those basic functions?

There is an add-on to the unit that you can purchase to keep the controls. I think it was about $25. The thing with these head units is they get you with all the additional add ons.
XM/Sirius $$
HD Radio $$
Steering Wheel Controls $$
Installation $$
Wiring harness $$... The list goes on..

What about the factory DVD player ....still works ?

Does the rear DVD still work? Does it play thru the main system or just in the back thru the headphones?
