Best: Side view camara under the passenger side-view mirror. It's attached to my TVNAV2GO system and turns on when my blinker is turned on.
Worst: Painting the engine covers.

It was actually done by one of those mobile headlight cleaning guys on the local classifieds. I figured $50 is better vs my time and the $35 kit.

I chose the Kenwood DDX672BH because it was their current line up without GPS (because I like my GPS mounted in the bottom corner of the windshield and a separate control for it). It was between pioneer and Kenwood, and the Kenwood had the better solid construction from the buttons to the motorized screen.
It's better over OEM in everyway; sound, connectivity, asthetics and features. And it's easily converted back to stock.

Oh true actually the steering wheel controls don't work and installing the appropriate adapter seemed too much work. I miss the volume control time to time but my hand is near the shifter anyways. HFL was one of the first things I disconnected due to being defective.
Tire pressure is displayed on 06+ models and it's actually one of my favourite stock features. I have a much better understanding of how much air pressure changes depending on season and driving type. BTW, the pressure is wrong. It was between winter and spring so it fluctuated greatly and i left it till summer. Now it's the appropriate 35/32psi cold

I hear you on the steering wheel volume controls, mine is a Six Manual, so everything is at my fingertips anyway, so it comes down to do I want to turn it up with my left hand or right hand.

Damn... Mine is an '04... I can see how it would be a nice bit of information.
