with the metra harness the install was easy ,only thing that took me long was the custome ground adaptor i made (to have all my ground points in one spot) and the soldering of all the wires then heat shrinking them .

Aren't you worried about that getting stolen? That's probably why I'll never do something like this...

There is no way I would buy another one for my car,in my gt while it was under warranty still the original went bad,the replacement went bad,then after the warranty was gone the replacements replacement went bad....all kinda the same thing too,put a Kenwood in it and have never had a single prob with it...in fact I have never had a Kenwood crap out on me, and Ive used them for years.

honestly its not ,its all touch screen and very easy to use. you want to use the ipod just press ipod, you want to use the nav just touch nav. ect.

takes about 10 mins to understand it all .

Because a stock-looking Mustang GT isn't all that special, but the fancy head unit / lcd screen inside is. Plus, it's a lot easier to steal a radio than steal the whole car.

IF your right why would someone even look in the car
I can hook and tow a car faster than it would take to break the glass or slim jim the lock ,by-pass the alarm and rip this unit out with out damaging it.
regardless thats why i pay for full coverage.

anyways im happy i enjoy it and glad i did it .
