    If there are wires to be soldered, I'll be doing it. Would be sweet to retain the USB and Aux in from the factory position.

    Finally Pulled my 2012 Stock radio and put in a Pioneer AVH-P3400BH. Nice DVD Receiver. Love the sound with the Alpine Speakers (610). Thanks to this forum otherwise I would have paid hell trying to install. Used the Metra Harness Kit, The ASWC Kit (w/o Metra Harness)....had to hardwire....easy enough when you search this forum, used the ole Relay switch to disable Park brake....worked well when you use this forum and Youtube. Used the Metra 99-8214TG Dash Kit being I can't get a 2012 yet. Doesn't fit exactly right but it's only temporary...right. Tried like hell to add an
    $290 Alpine KTP 445U Universal Power Pack
    Alpine KTP 445U Powerpack Amp. Just couldn't get it going after two weekends...really slowed me down....If anyone had success installing one of these please let me know before I return the thing....

    I have just ordered the Scosche TA2053S9B double din kit for my 2012. I plan on painting it with gloss black use some fine clear glitter paint and misting it on lightly then clear coating. Hopefully it will turn out ok.

    Is there a HU that will use the stock USB port and the XM radio? as if im going to have that damn shark fin on top of my truck then might as well have it functional

    Anything is possible! Just go back to the Audio/Video section and search, there are a couple people whom have used the shark fin by buying the wiring harness needed to use an aftermarket deck. As far as the USB, that part is easy:

    scosche is a bad idea, stay away from eallmart. the blue wire is the remote power switch for the amp. get a real wiring harness fro a car audio dealer for 15$
