Ok, forget that found 9-9-9-24 1600

Anyone know if this works?

Metra factory integration for GM backup camera. I would assume a big yes...

Paying more for my carpc than I did on my home pc.

Can get a 4250 i5 with a 5000 series video for only $140 more than an ultra wimpy machine. Figure if I yank it out of the car it'll become my main home pc as it is vesa mountable and TEENY.

And now I want to do this backwards.

Before I was looking at keeping the stock head unit and replacing the amplifier and speakers. As a temporary install I'd like to keep the stock amp and speakers and replace the headunit

Can't remember where I found the details on it though...and really don't want to just measure. I am 99.9% sure the processing was done in the headunit and Seth threw up the wiring so I suppose I can just start poking at pins. A pluggable adapter with pigtails would be sweet.

The backwards is temporary. Want to do this install in pieces so I don't need 2 weekends and a mess.

Curious how much better I can make the factory sub sound.

Looks like a winner. Means I am paying $30 to keep the amps for the little connector...but for the time being until i see if the connector is available on its own.

Ok, all stock shit has to go.

Damnit, want power first!

Griffin PowerMate knob is cool. Have to experiment with Driveline to see how it'll fit in the front end.

Forgot the whole damn thing is CAN.

Oh well, need a sub and amp to fit in it instead anyways.

Fucking thing squeaks and rattles like hell as well.

I like the BMW dual arm opening perhaps one of those used and then integrate the Griffin vol knob right like they do. Try to keep the rest stock looking.

Yeah, right.

So, I am almost certainly getting a Focus ST, but damn, I've always liked the Mini.  Just not sure I can handle the BMW repair and insurance costs.  On the other hand, it will not depreciate like the Focus.

And the closest dealer is 70 miles away. 

Why did father give these humans free will?

When I price it with full leather it comes to $30k. In 3 years that'll be $15k...which hurts.

I know you get better pricing than MSRP, but normally the cheaper the car the less the discount no?

Crazy though that you can get a new sub 6 second 60 car new for $24 if you don't add any options. Less than I paid for a near 100k mi Escalade.

In the truck now for over 30 with the brakes/suspension. About to be 31.5 or so with the stereo.

I know you get better pricing than MSRP, but normally the cheaper the car the less the discount no?

My price on the $26K stickered car was $23. That's cheaper than used and this is a car that will pay for itself with the money saved in fuel/repair/time costs, so it's a no-brainer for me. I just want to sample the competition.

Did you check insurance? I only ask because I've got a colleague that was quoted more for an SRT4 Neon than a Viper.
