What do you guys think about this radio? I think it's cool as hell for a great price, even though i'll loose steering controls but in dash 6 who cares. Right?

Sal,

I looked in to getting an after market system and was told that I could get the steering wheel controls to work with it. It was the upsale pioneer premier brand.

That said, I'm pretty happy with the OEM system and like the changer in the glove box, but of course, it's all personal taste, and yes, I would like more bass sometimes.

The issue for installing a standard DIN size radio has been finding a kit for the bracket and faceplate. The radio plate is kinda egg shaped trapazoid. If you run into one let us know. A local shop made their own but it didn't look all that great. I heard a rumor that you can order a factory radio delete plate and modify that.
