The car looks great.
I have a few questions about the Pioneer NAV unit, because I've thought about getting one. The concept for the unit is neat. The questions are: do the radio/CD/DVD players work off the steering wheel buttons? does the car's dimmer switch dim it? does it attach to the car's radio/NAV antenna? did you connect it to the speed sensor? what radio did you replace? was the replacement a clean fit at the top where the standard radio curves inward toward the dash? Your overall feelings about the unit would be welcome too -- for example whether you wish you had the MINI NAV now rather than the Pioneer.

to generalize an answer
I love it...it will work off the wheel....it will dim...it has it's own very small antenna that is a one inch square that sits behind the radio antenna...you dont have to connect it to the speedo its satalite...it knows...LOL....it fits great! and best of all it has vehicle dynamics such as foward to aft and lateral G meters!!! I have on pulled a g in a corner so far...heh heh...
