I traded in my Xterra and now the challenge of integrating my empeg begins... My friends claim I switched cars only because my last install was finished and I got bored. The factory radio isn't bad, however the build of the car is not custom friendly. Some of the car's computer functions rely on a connection to the radio. I'm thinking of going with a glove box or trunk install. The trunk has a pass through to the back seat which is actually standard din width... If anyone's installed in an Olds without posting or you've done a non-dash install your comments are needed! I'm on dial up now but I'll post a link with pictures later.
A few questions...

• Has anyone tried a Sony Stalk and an infared repeater?
• Has anyone used Palantir through an infared repeater?
• There's lots of lcd projects listed in the forums... but which one is the easiest/cheapest route?

A link with photos will certainly help. I was able to install in the ashtray / CD holder area of my Riv - there may be "creative alternatives" instead of putting the empeg somewhere out of sight.

The ash tray is much to narrow and the cup holder actually folds out from underneath the center console. Take a look ....

Yeah... I could have said that more correctly... If I remove the stock stereo I'll lose two things... I'll lose the date on the travel computer and the steering wheel stereo controls. I think I've found an adaptor that will fix that for about 80 dollars...

For the time being I'll use the Radio Shack cigarette lighter adaptor and a cassette adaptor.

I hope we will be seeing this install at the meet.
