    Not really sure if this is the right forum, but here it goes.......

    I finally got around to taking some pictures of the head unit install I did with my son a few months ago in my 08 4x4 Sport DC.

    You can't really tell from these pictures, but the extra storage pocket in the dash kit is lined with black, self stick felt. It does a great job of protecting my sunglasses, and it only cost me $.99.

    Here's a shot of the finished product:

    Here's a shot of the Sirius radio and bracket:

    Here's the back of the bracket. It came complete with the swivel and mounting plate. It was a breeze to install:

    Here's how I have routed the hard wiring for the Sirius radio. I'm not sure it will stay like this, but it works for now:

    While I was at it, I also hard wired my radar detector. I filed a small notch into the top of the dash kit to get the wire behind the dash:

    Any questions or comments, let me know.
