What do I need to install it and will it work with my car? I have the Bose upgrade system and I'm dying for my XM or pandora. I hate the radio haha shame to waste such good speakers on FM.

I wasn't looking to buy today, but just to get some information so I might be able to get one at Christmas or something. I got this car for my birthday so a present well spent I turn 25 in 4 days hehe. (Oh I paid for the car myself, it was a self present, just thought I'd clear that up before someone thinks I'm a free loader lol)

You will need the dual din mount ($165), or create your own like I did ($10 & 90min) on the Dual Din install link.

For around $250-450 you should be able to get all the bells and whistles, ie Navigation, Rear backup video, DVD video, SD, USB, Blue tooth music and phone inputs etc.

Seems like that JVC unit is rather limited for the price?

I think your cup holder can stay but do you really want drinks splashing around above your new stero?

Yup AC goes all the way to the bottom slot very easily but you need the platic tapered surround for it in that slot,

Since I had the EQ panel in that slot i used the surround for it.

If you have the EQ upgrade stereo you can not remove the EQ. I simply preset it and put it in behind the sorage shelf slot, see the description in that dual din install thread.
