<![CDATA[Head Unit install questions...]]>Anyone have any pros/cons on JVC head units? I've always had Pioneer up until now and liked them. I'd like to put a double-din in my SSEi and would like to keep the dash clean but pioneer doesn't have one that I'd put in the dash.

What all is needed so that I don't lose my chimes and anything related to the factory HU? And I know i'd need another module to keep the steering wheel controls. Here's what I am lookin at.

Here's Pioneer's offering, I'm not so big on the green backlights...

Get the one that's made specifically to work w/ the head unit that you purchase. Most of them plug into the back of the head unit and actually work good, all the time.

And I agree with wes.
