I came across this today and it got me wondering. http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/31/man- ... stall-gon/ I installed my own unit but after reading this, I'm wondering "what constitutes a fire hazard? I used a aftermarket wiring harness and used butt connectors to connect the D3's harness to them. I also had wrapped the connections with electrical tape as well. There really wasn't any splicing other than the VSS speed wire, and I did CUT and reconnected a ground and line for the SWI-PS adapter (again using butt connectors and a little bit of soldering for the resistor (And again wra

A few days ago. Did you pay $589 for it? I bought mine a couple weeks ago and got it for $535 from them, that's why they wouldn't throw in ANYTHING for free. AND they tried to jack me for the install.

I bought my unit there, but they wanted to charge me $300 to install the unit and the steering wheel adapter to my car. I decided that's WAY too much so I did it myself (thanks to this website). It took me about 45 mins to install the D3, and about and hour to install the steering wheel adapter (had to do some soldering and was hampered by only having two hands!!!) In any case, just an FYI, Al and Eds will charge you like $40~$50 for the IPOD cable (which you will need if you want to connect your IPOD) and around $90 for the steering wheel adaptor if you want it.

I drive a scion 08 xb and my stock unit received AM stations very clearly,
