Why would you want to install an aftermarket radio? If anything upgrade the amp, speakers, and sub...there is nothing wrong with the stock head unit.....that's the reason you don't see any. Plus who would want to ruin the sharp look of the interior by putting in some gaudy aftermarket head unit?

I have to agree with spintx here. I spent a small fortune on high end audio equipment in my last ride, that will not be the case here. The ELS system really is quite good...if anything, assuming you don't have navigation, you can go the carputer route, there are a few threads detailing such an install.

Diddy, I also agree with Spinxt. The OEM head unit will separate your regular CD's into simulated 5.1 and DVD Audio discs sound excellent.

It will even look bad to have one of those ghetto colourful head units in there, made out of cheap plastic.
