Ok. I finally got around to putting in my Pioneer AVH-P6800DVD player with the bluetooth phone adaptor, and the backup camera. I have just hooked it up to my factory speakers for now because i'm still waiting for my dual battery setup before I go ahead with the rest of the system.

I used a PAC-TR7 bypass module (about $20 on ebay) to bypass the parking brake issue. It works great. I mounted the Bluetooth module in the dash behind the heater controls. There is quite a bit of room back there for the wiring and some small adaptors. I was quite happy for that since there are a pile of wires coming out of the back of the head unit. The backup camera I used is just a universal one (about $50 on ebay), and it works great in the daytime, but is quite dark at night. I'm going to add some backup lights to see if I can brighten up the view.

The bluetooth phone adaptor works awesome. It is wireless, and when connected, the head unit works as my cell phone. It's completely hands free, and is quite clear. If there is an incoming call, the dvd, cd, or radio turns off, switches over to the phone, and rings and plays through the speakers. I mounted the microphone for the hands free on the bracket holding the rearview mirror. You can't even tell it's there, and it picks up the voice very well.

much more to come.....
