I got the adapter kit from Wal-mart for like 14.99. Took the ONE piece I needed and returned it. I don't know how I can sleep at night.

We had that Dual DVD-in dash player at Best Buy...but I heard a lot of complaints about it's quality.

If you dont already have an aftermarket radio in there. then you are gonna need a housing kt, antenna adapter anda radio harness. Who is the maker of the head unit. If its made by dual. Save your money and get something better. Whatever you do DON'T SUPPORT CIRCUIT CITY. GO TO BEST BUY IF ANYTHING. any other questions let me know. As you can tell I use to work for ccity but they wanna lay people off and try to re hire us at a cheaper price. Screw em.. lol.

go to bestbuy or ccity to get the harnesses. even though i dont like ccity anymore they usually have everything there. Just for the radio holder, and the 2 harness your only looking at about 50-60.

As far as new head units are concerned, I'd have to reccomend Jensen.
The multi-media player that I have is pretty damn decent, and cost me $500.
My model number is:
VM9311TS go look it up.

My head unit:


P.S.It's also nice because I just recently found out that Jensen DVD players comewith a secretoverride code for the
E-Brake sequence. Now I can watch movies whenever the hell I want to (Or preferably the passengers).

My bad. I dug around for the receipt and it was $450. Odd on them being cheaper, the shop I bought everything from always lowballs all of their inventory. Better prices than any other place in the city.
