This is what I have at the moment. Dead easy to install, and it works a treat, I can still use my CD changer too.

here you go, not the best, i'll try get a night shot and i have tweaked the knob since and have got the right colour set up on that now

(http://i47.tinypic.com/b88s46.jpg)

everything is customizable as far as colours for the buttons, knob and screen color plus other display features that you can customise, pretty good if your happy with simple, i had a dvd touch screen thingy-ma-bob and it was alright for when i was sitting about waiting for my GF to finish work as i could watch films etc but this i can operate without having to worry about pressing the wrong buttons whilst driving etc etc

and it looks really OEM

The screen on the pioneer isn't just for DVD I never use that it can be for sat nav and also so ou can dial a phone number on the screen and see your phones entire phonebook and for simplicity it's just as easy has buttons as well as touch but the built in parrott system is worth every penny

well...it was more Loch Ard and the MacDonald Forest Hills resort, my parents have an apartment up there on the resort. beautiful place and the sheep farm behind the resort is steeped in history, especially the waterfall which played apart in the story of Rob Roy i believe...though i could be getting my history lines confused by someone else who stood infront of a waterfall...maybe Confucious or something...either way i'm definatly going there again especially for the the scottish nights on the farm  :wink:
