wuzin,

Great work! You were keeping a secret from me with the First Aid Kit intstallation, I like your style. Honestly, this is the way it's supposed to be - 100% stock appearance but loaded with features.

BTW - I might have a suprise for remote activation on that iLink for you. ;)

I don't recommend the ice>Link with the VSM - use the iLink instead. The ice>Link has big muscle in the audio integration department, but the iLink is better suited for multimedia.

The iLink is not required for use with the VSM, but the greatest part is that it can allow a non-Video iPod to play videos on the NAV screen.

Sweet
 
Very nice!:)

I was wondering do you have to run wires from the EAS module in the rear to the front seats? Was that a pain?

Excellent job!

That's quite a project. Your stealth install is very creative and ingenious, and I'm really diggin' that back up cam, too. Everything is integrated, quite nicely.

As we say in RI, "wicked" good.

Great job, Kriss.
Thank you Ken!! "wicked" hehe :thumbup:

Tom,

Thank you for your helps, I really appreciate it.
and about first aid kit, I mentioned it before, remember that I've asked that if I can extend AUX cable?
I thought that cable was too short, but it worked out great!!

:iagree:
Go with iLink. what I was saying is, you can keep the ice>link with OEM wheel controls if you HAVE ice>link already.
otherwise, you don't need to go with ice>link.

Thank you BruinMan,

and yes, I had to run the wires from the rear (CD changer area) to the front,
it wasn't that hard, just remove the back seat trim (credit to hayaku), and run the wires.

Thanks. Do you have a TV-tuner add-on for VSM kit?
