Yes, of-course.

I just got the same unit installed last month. Skipped the rear camera install as I didnt know if I wanted it at the time. Was it difficult to run the wires for the camera

Pretty great looking/performing unit,eh? How do you like it, do you have pics????

No idea about the wiring, but I did drop it off at 10:30am and it wasn't ready 'till 8:30pm

Hmmm....I think the install and bezel need some work....it looks a little weird....i have the Kenwood DDX 7015....I LOVE mine....it has GREAT sound....2nd only to the Eclipse....EXCELLENT Nav on flash RAM, not HD, or DVD so its LIGHTNING fast...iPod interface is amazing...touchscreen etc...it can swing out at user defineable angles so you can best see it, I like that....Yours is better than stock...lol....enjoy.

Yes, I see what you are saying. When they put in the cupholders, I am going to make them bevel the edges around the stereo, making it straighter and maybe adding a few more milimeters. I agree, its better than stock, by far!!

It will look great then! You might wanna give Rod at Car Audio Innovations a call...they have custom bezels for their Porsche installs, and they could probably send you a better fit....

Also get your HVAC display fixed!

My C4 Cab is going to Audio Innovations in Roseville Friday to install this same Nav unit, a small amp to power the mid-woofers in the doors (my amp was "removed" at the car lot), an Ipod adapter to the center console, and maybe Bluetooth. Can't see putting a rearview camera on a cab. Pics to follow next week!

Nice stereo/nav, but a rear view camera for a sports car??

Isn't that kind of an SUV thing?

I guess I never really noticed any problems looking over my shoulder and just backing up.

If it's good enough for the Gallardo SE, it's good enough for my 911TT!!

^ I don't think the rear-view in the Gallardo is nearly as good as the 911. I like gadgets though, too, so I can see why you got it.

The rear view out of a Gallardo is not quite the same as a 911..

It also comes as standard equipment on most new motor homes.

That being said I wouldn't take it (even for free) as an option on either car (a Gallardo or a Porsche).

Then again it's your car.......enjoy.
