Hey Kyphonii I have been looking into upgrading the head unit in my 99 sport for awhile now, your setup looks very clean and well done just curious what the buttons below the head unit are for?

I have an Eclipse head unit. Has iPod dock connector cable but you could probs fab up a bracket, I just dump mine in the cup holder. This allows iPod control through the head unit.

It also has Bluetooth phone and audio. Comes with a wired mic you install and shove on the sun visor or near there.

Phone works well using selectable front speakers (l/r or both).

Bluetooth audio quality isn't as good as the connector but listenable. Also allows iPod control through Bluetooth too.

Happy with it. I have iPhone 4S and it works with wifes 4 too. They have newer models now I got a slightly older one for $200 from $349. Can get pic and model number if you like.

nice it looks like wood grain in the pic. how were you able to get the head unit to sit center of the console. whenever ive done a single din install into a doubble din it never has sat centre, either above or below with a spacer.

With respect to head units are you looking for ipod control from the head unit (cable) or ipod control via bluetooth?

do you run an amp ?

are there any specific features your after ?

the two that would stand out for me would be

im an Alpine fan though
