Help...I took out my BOSE and replaced it with a Clarion flip up system. The installers had to move the ONSTAR to a seperate speaker and it sounds like crap. Knowing little about this stuff I am unsure what to do. Are they correct in telling me that thats the only way to do this? Frustrated!!!

NJ H2,

The Rosen R6500 looks sweet.

Can it do XM radio? Some pics would be cool.

Can you stil use your steering wheel controls?

No XM radio but NAV can be hooked up which I will be doing next week. I bought the part from PAC (http://www.pac-audio.com/index.asp) to keep the steering wheel controls so they still work.
Here are some PICS:

Looking good! Could you get a pic from the side of the head unit and post it so to see how flush it is? I am looking to buy the same unit for my H2 soon and I want it to look as stock as possable. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif BIG-C

It states on the PAC website that you will lose "the rear center console controls". Is this true and if so, what did you replace this with?

03 Black with Nology Ignition products, KIT carbon-fiber hood scoop with handles / hood towers / fender trim / rear upper louvers, 14 inch BulletProof Suspension installed by CTL MOTORSPORTS, 44inch Truxus STS with 17x14 Weld Racing Wheels, Snyper brakes, Custom black bi-xenon projector headlights, Kodiak fold down steps, black undercarriage, Benevento carbon-fiber dash kit, MOMO shift knob, HITCHCAM rear camera, Royal Purple fluids, Cleargearz clear differential cover, Borla exhaust / headers.

This thing sounds awesome!!!All of the compenets in the stereo are Phoenix Gold, electronics are all Alpine. This vehicle is complete with the factory onstar, Alpine Navigation, DVD Video, Back up camera w/an override switch, and a PS2. Any of the sources can be viewed from either of the 3 monitors, and listened to through either the system in the vehicle or a set of outboard wireless rf headphones, primarily for the rear passengers...Everything was hand fabricated by myself or my partner in our shop, akakustom.com , and this thing is a daily driver.
