Why not a Shaker HU? That's what I have and it's a bit more work to build a system around it, but it looks stock

Having issues running the 05+ head unit in the 04. And stock units people still want like 150-200 and not worth it IMO really. If I had one already I would.

A gotcha... I snagged a brand new take out off ebay for 50 bucks last year out of an 08

Not bad. Ppl round here think the regular 6 disc is gold and want 150 plus for them.

I hear ya Scotty. Im on the way to bestbuy to look around and see what they have options wise. I wouldn't mind the install just finding time for it. Really

If you know how to install a remote start, then why the hell would you pay BB to install it for you? :wtf: You will save several hundred bucks installing it yourself. If you want to try and tackle it, I am here to answer any questions. Shit, I'd even loan you a computer safe test light if you need it.

I was going to bestbuy for gopro mount and memory card on sale. I was gonna look at the kits they had. I installed one of the kc auto sound kits on a 05 f150 before but took little while to do time wise

Yeah, installing a remote start isn't like installing a radio. Its VERY time consuming. Presiding it can save you about an hour or so. But be prepared to spend all day if you have never done one before. I have installed hundreds of them, and it still takes me 4-6 hours to do one. I can do a rush job and get it done in about 2the hours, but I prefer to take my time and make all my connections and wire runs as neat as possible.
