I just came over this board-from elcova. I am planning on buying the d3 this week and am looking for suggestions on support hardware.

I looked at crutchfield to keep the steering wheel controls but it looks like that brand is not very dependable. Is scoche (sp?) better.

 

I am also not sure on the brand of plug to use with my factory harness or if I need a head unit installation kit.

 

Any suggestions on a rear view camera?

 

The last of my projects will be running the system to two headrest monitors. I'm a little nervous about cutting the headrests myself but the pre-installed ones seem too expensive. Any suggestions on headrest monitors?

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

If you don't want to cut your headrest and don't want to buy pre-fitted one... then just don't put them...

 

Have you think about a flip-down monitor from the ceiling

There is really only one steering wheel adaptor, they are just sold under different brands. Scosche, Peripheal, Pac, etc are all the same.

 

Get a GMOS-04 harness and a double din kit.

 

Don't want to cut the headrests, but also dont want to spend the money on pre-fabbed? You need to make a choice there. Cheap monitors also have pretty low quality picture/resolution. Don't make your decision by price alone. Overhead is out of the question, considering the existing overhead console is rather long.
