White and pretty much stock still. I had an -02 Avalanche project going for about 3 years so not much was left over to this. Hope to get some stuff done to it now when I'm down to a few less trucks and cars to maintain :-)
I'm planning on interior upgrades at this point, mostly a/v stuff as I miss my system I had in the Av. I'm planning on probably putting in the same stuff though update the technology, dropdown lcd for the rear to replace the one currently in there, AVIC for the dash, JL Audio components, probably some custom work for said components as well as subs. I had close to 10 grand and probably 6-700 man hours in the old system so ... it's difficult stepping back to stock BLOWSE audio in what is now my daily driver.

Ain't that the truth .. now picture going from a system in the neighborhood of $10,000 dollars to BLOWSE ... I shudder at the thought of having to live with it for a while longer :/ No sirius, no XM, no Nav ... It's practically stone age in comparison!

You will also find I'm horrid when it comes to taking the time out of my insane schedule to get these things done ... Assuming it doesn't rain and I get away from this desk before dark I'll take a few new ones tonight though .. :)

Welcome ZYNE! Where are you from?

I'm also in the process of installing some AV stuff, but more on a custom level, as in, not in-dash and everything RF modulated (yeah I know). I have a laptop GPS connection on the dash, installing a 5.6" LCD monitor on the driver's side by the tweeter on the dash (Dennis will probably yell at me for that), and eventually a TV tuner.

I'm looking at TV tuners now. It looks like a decent one has dual antenna's, a self-amplified antenna circuit and dual AV In's and Out's. If you have any suggestions as to a good one or brand that gets great reception, by all means, let me know :) It looks like you can find a good one for about $150. I'm looking for one with a built-in RF modulater. I have a Belkin already which actually works great for the iPod, but after wiring another input for it this weekend, I realized the tuners have the modulator's built-in. Anyway, if you have any advice on that, let me know ;-)

Welcome, again!

i think i'll give it a 7.5. Another Perfect Day is still my favorite, but the only album they made with Brian Robertson on Guitar. He wouldn't play "Bomber" on stage, so they canned him. you can't have a Motorhead show without playing that song, so they made the right move. Still, a 6 disc changer full of MH cds will overpower any wind noise you can generate. . . .

Thanks, and I'm just north of Cincinnati :)

Brrr ... I shudder at the thought ... I had my whole system connected under/behind the rear seat on the Av which made additions a whole hell of a lot easier than digging under the dash or front seats. Those remote boxes work wonders for making it easier on ya :) Granted, I had zero use of said folding rear seat or the midgate but damn she sounded good LOL! I have some early pics of that system stuck on an avalance board somewhere .. probably not very pertinent to this but ...

As far as TV tuners I have the Pioneer GEX-P5700TV on order for when I can get my Avic Z1 ordered and installed. Have not tried it yet but it came highly recommended by a friend of mine. It by no means fits the 150 dollar price range, more towards 350 but imho you get what you pay for. If it has any interoperability with other HU makes I'm not 100% sure of.
As far as rf mod I'm blissfully ignorant and intend to stay that way. Sad enough I have to deal with RCA's, I want HDMI damnit LOL!

On the same topic, anyone got a good suggestion for routing sirius and/or xm antenna wires to the back without getting the dreaded drill out of the tool box and letting lose on the roof? They did that to my -04 RAM SRT-10 at the dealer and I thought I was going to take the drill to the service managers skull. Obviously going out the rear hatch/weather stripping but .... never picked these apart before so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Or a good contact for replacement trim pieces LMAO!
