hi guys,
ive done a bunch of searching but can only seem to find half of the answers on the threads here and in the audio guru forum. so i thought i'd ask the pros...

im planning to install a pioneer avic d3 to my 03 cl type s. so far, i can tell for sure that i need a custom faceplate to surround the double din HU. also, i may need to bypass the bose amp (actually this im totally confused on). also, i can see from other installs that getting to the stock radio is a chore.

so heres the cost breakdown:
~$800 for the headunit new
~$200 for a shop to install
~$100 for the dash piece
—$30 for the ipod cable
—$180 for the bluetooth module

total estimate: $1,310

not bad considering new navigation upgrade on current models are about $3k. so i need to know if anyone has done this and if i have overlooked any cost or potential problem. also if anyone knows a shop in the LA area that has done good double din work for their CLs please let me know. much appreciation!

Sorry buddy, but this should have been posted in the Audio/Video forum if you haven't done so.
