Panasonic Strada

Like Chills, I got my from Crutchfield and did the install myself. I like the Strada, just wish it had 3-D maps. I have the iPod interface and Sirius hooked up. One down point on the Strada is that in order to hook up more than one device, you need an expansion pack. I no longer have any room behind the GPS unit with all the wires and boxes.
The hardest part of the install was making the faceplate. The color of the factory GPS plate was very shinny, just like the system, so I sprayed the plate with flat Krylon black and it matched the rest of the interior very nicely. I then built the top of the faceplate using the orignal A/C plate. I cut the top and bottom pieces off and low and behold a perfect fit for above the GPS unit. I used some plastic bondo to hold the cut pieces together, sanded and painted. The new plate is held in place b/t the vents and GPS unit because it is a tight squeeze.
