But if a cars headlight hits it. It goes from red in the dark to a beautiful orange as the car lights hit it
Oh yea I've seen the IOM and that is just wow, also one of my favorite colors for the car. So what have you done to it afterward?

Get the metra for sure, I have a backup camera, and an xbox hooked up to it, and having nav built it is very nice too.

$250 for the metra, $700 for the Clarion, $100 for the backup camera, and my xbox360 can be slid in and out if I want to take it into the house.

I got a 800 watt power inverter from advanced auto parts to run the xbox in the car wired to the battery, and then just plugged the audio/video from the xbox into the back of my headunit.

Dang should have got one when they were on sale on black Friday o well and does the xbox not move around and screw the disc up or do you have it secured somewhere because I know the slightest movement will scratch the crap out of the disc.

I actually built a self for it in my trunk that is padded with 1inch foam top bottom, sides, and back so that any bumps or anything will not screw up the disc at all, with gaps in the foam where the fans on the xbox are. Then I secured it to the back of the shelf so it doesnt slide out.

Ive had it running for 3 hrs in ther car while driving and no problems at all with it. Im actually in the process of building a double shelf, one for my ps3 and the other for my xbox in the trunk. So, Ill have pictures coming soon.

Nice sounds pretty cool. Do you use a Mobile hotspot in the car or just play offline.

Just play offline, Im not sure if the mobile hotspot would be fast enough to run xbox live while driving (enough places), I could be wrong of course. But, id image on trips thru places with bad cell coverage you would lose connection.

I have 20% on my windows and have had no issues from the police. They have never even mentioned it when I have gotten pulled over.
