Well Raging, the good news is that something is wrong with my HK unit so I might end up with something else anyway. So when you get a chance, send me the link.Now, here's a picture of the gauges at night. I took this with my pocket camera on the way home from a LAN party last night so it's not the best but it'll do.

Ooh! Update!I'm now just over 17000 miles and still love this little beast. It has its share of strange little happenings and needs to go in for some warranty work (knocking intermediate shaft) but hey, what car doesn't?Anyway, the big news is that I finally got the iPod thing sorted out. I ended up installing the HK Drive+Play and it was horrible. The FM modulator, even hardwired was miserable. Almost unusable. My solution was to buy one of the Ebay units Ragingfish mentioned. It's perfect. I use it as an aux input for my head unit and just run the HK Drive+Play's audio out into it. That way I have a great LCD display, excellent controls and stellar audio quality. This combination beats my Panasonic I had in the Sebring hands down! Heck, it had dedicated iPod controls and I even like the controls of this setup better. The Panasonic will be going into my truck, though. Once you go iPod in your car you never want to go back to CDs.
