Ok, Guys Who've installed Double Din's

[Fastbird]

Then you should have stated that you had searched. All I was trying to do was guide you in the right direction. Once you found out who had done what you are attempting, you could pm them for any and all specific information you required. But if this is the kind of response I get from trying to help you, I'll refrain from ever doing so again.

If you would please, just take a second look at how your message to me could originally have come across. I aparrently took it in the wrong context which is why I retorted in the manner I did.

My reasoning for getting those who've successfully installed theirs was to get the information out in the open for those who are contemplating such an endeavour themselves. The sharing of information per se.

So, I apologize about how I fired back. No harm, no foul, OK?

Do these double din LCD systems have removable screens?

Ok, someone please post a "How To" because I really want to take this on. I don't like paying someone to do work that I could do so....if anyone has the time please post the details of a Nav install.

Hopefully I'll be doing that soon as I'm going to order a NAV faceplate today.

the factory alarm does not have a shock sensor or a motion detector. please correct me if i'm wrong.

so a thief could break your window, enter through the window, remove your $2000 double din deck, exit through the window, and the alarm would never go off.

the alarm will not go off until the door is opened without a key/alarm remote.

i believe that there are parts that you can add to the stock alarm to improve it. my boss had an 02 convertible mustang, he was able to add a motion detector to his stock system.

i apologize for my pessimism, but in a 20 year period my family's home in san jose has had our cars broken into 3 times, cars vandalized 2 times, and 1 car stolen. not to mention the house broken into twice. Unfortunately, the world is filled with soulless tweekers and crack heads that won't hesitate to steel your stuff, and sell at 20 cents on the dollar, just to fill their pipes.

i have had several friends that have/are gotten mixed up in this stuff. most have dropped the habit, while a few are still stuck on stupid(10 years later). It is very sad. IMO, meth abuse it one of the largest problems in the US.

I understand fully. I was born and lived in the Mission district in San Fran for 15 years, Hunters Point for 20 years and East Palo Alto for 5 years. Few months ago someone broke into my 74 bronco and stole a nice Kenwood deck. Where in the east bay are you?

No problem Firebird! I looked again at my original comment and I can see how it was easy to misconstrue my tone and intent. That's the problem with the written word...you can't always "hear" the way it's "said". My apologies too.
