Anyone use any of these Radio upgrade Kits?
 
I'm looking to upgrade the radio in my 2004 box. Anyone order and install using one of these installation kits from CAI-STORE?

Thanks

It is just a nicely put together assembly of $60 worth of parts all for the low price of $199. If you don't feel like searching for the individual pieces just pay the extra $140 they want and it will work great.

I used that and other harnesses made by them for a new amp etc. Great quality...great customer service....I found it well worth the $$$ to do my 03 with MOST.

I initially thought about the cost of the individual parts, but they build the wiring harness for you $25, supply the cage, face plate, a new cubby, and bat wing. Plus they supply step-by-step directions especially for the MOST retro-fit which tells me they have experience with this setup and can support the installation during my install. I guess you pay for confidence and support as well.

Exactly, if you don't feel like spending a bunch of time and want a sure thing just go for it. Personally I am the swap meet kind of guy who loves a deal on the car or parts (heck, including the purchase price of my 64k mile Boxster I don't have $1500 into the whole car as I sold all the extras it came with that I don't use)
