I was also wondering what's involved.. I haven't installed mine yet, and we basically have the same cars.. When I get around to it, I'll let you know..

i think a set of PG ti elites, in kicks and replacing the facotry 8" with a Rl-i 8"... power them with a xenon 200.4... use the 8454 i have for a deck... thought about getting a 8445 for sirius... but fck spending that much i can just use the aux in on the deck i already have.

i should be ok with just one 200.4 on the stock alt..

yeah this one isnt IR, it uses the brown/white wire on the deck.. the IR ones have thsat shitty delay..

installing it sounds simple enough.. its the programming that sounds sort of shady..

"Installation is straightforward — just connect a few wires, only 3 wires in many cars. The direct connection to the stereo means there's no need for an infrared emitter, allowing the SWI-ECL to function even in bright sunlight. Step-by-step LED confirmation makes programming easy. Once connected, the SWI-ECL's failsafe memory will learn up to 5 stereo functions, retaining them even if battery power is interrupted. Dimensions: 3-3/4"W x 1-1/16"H x 1-9/16"D. Warranty: 1 year. "

any time they say its easy...it usually isnt //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Will you be using the infrared version, or is there one that plugs into the 8454? I got the one that plugs in directly to my D310.. Should be similiar tho.. The instructions seem pretty straight forward..
