looks sharp. Can it do illumination in green?

of aftermarket audio gear. I think Pioneer got it this time.

So... the question is, if I have a BOSE setup, do I need to replace my speakers?

TJHUB

Nope! Not if you connect to the Bose amp and use it to power your speakers.

And the answer is, yeah, 'cause they suck?

You know, PIO has that 6-disc DIN DVD changer that would fit in the CDC Glove box hole of new Audis

I'm planning on getting some sort of GPS system (was thinking about a Garmin Nuvi) but for a bit more, this does the GPS thing, DVD, bluetooth integration, iPod connectivity, AND fits in the dash. Definitely something to consider...

SouthboroAudiGuy

Do I use pre-amp outs? Are there any special equalization/crossover issues to contend with?
