Hi. I bought a '07 about a week ago. I love it and am having fun personalizing it. I want to hardwire my satellite radio and am wondering if anyone knows about an aftermarket radio, that will fit into the panel molding, that has a side or rear mounted aux-in.

most aftermarket decks have an aux input now adays..as for the panel molding, you'll have to buy the dash kit, try and get the metra 99-8205 comes with all the stuff you'll need to mount the deck, plus you'll need a wiring harness and also an antenna adapter.. look at this install that sublime wrote uphttp://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=30794also welcome to the forums

Along with the about (thanks for the props Wave..!!) Also look at http://www.crutchfield.com and get familiar with thier stuff... It's a great place to buy, as you get EVERYTHING needed for the install, including instructions... It's a VERY well layed out site, that makes getting what you want easy...

While you are thinking of aftermarket HU's, try this---I am looking for a radio that will:- receive HD signals- play CD's with EITHER MP3 OR AAC (apple files) this is a tough one to find BTW- talk to and provide power to an Ipod- give the speakers a quality, strong signal- fit a vibeI can find recievers that do each of these things, but none that do all of these things.

Kenwood Excelon KDC-X792 or 692 can do 'em all, including AAC files. @ gootch : Why do you want the CD's to read AAC if you've got an ipod connection?

want it all
