And yeah, given how fast my heart was racing just coding some stuff, I ain't going near the dash with a knife....

And to answer your question - if this is going to be your "beater" do you want to spend a significant proportion of the cars value on a stereo..?

With all the outstanding (and bound-to-happen-sooner-rather-than-later things that have yet to bite me) maint. needs on my (admittedly bloody good) e53 I can't justify spending $1,000 on a stereo upgrade.

But that's me. That and I adore the OEM look of this e53 platform - I'd rather keep it look "period correct".

Well at $379 its not too expensive and I have to have a backup camera. There isn't much cheaper wise to go with. I will spend more than that on tires when I swap to a more aggressive set of tires.
