Well I gave my fiance my V1 and after looking at the reviews of this one. I figured if I put this much into it, why not add this to it! Plus the features that are on this 9500ci I would say its worth it if you the money to spend. But thats me other ppl will have a difference of opinion. I figured if its my money I'll spend it the way I want to!

also the monitors seem to be a bit low, and that's going to be more evident if you lean your seat back and drive

You can't see it to well but the monitors have a tilt to it, so when the seat leans back they are till viewable, plus they are mainly for show purpose

If your doing show, I think visors would be a good idea too, and if you want to further add to it, add a camera so it also functions as a makeup mirror too for the ladies...

Thanks for the input with the visor idea, I was thinking about it but wasn't sure. Will see I guess, but the whole ladies thing would be a bad idea for me bc I don't think the fiance would like that to much!! haha

Sure man, just remind me when the date gets closer, but that's if I don't have any business trips coming up.

Did you upgrade the alternator or any of the stock battery wiring? I am in the process of tearing down a lot of the engine bay for maintenance and when I looked at the stock wiring -battery to starter- -alternator to battery- they are obnoxiously smaill. I will be stepping those up soon as well as replacing all the little ground wires that are all over the engine bay.

That is a sweet install. Very impressed.
