Thanks, guys... I appreciate the input.

Looks like I can expect to spend between $150 and $200 for one of these bad-boys... That surprises me. I thought it would be cheaper.

That's why I went with the full built GPS route.

It's a day to spoil your woman! Do something special for her and make her feel loved. It doesn't even have to mean spending money.

Your statement=anti-poon


Romance costs nothing.

Happy wife = Happy Life.

It also allows for the use of the steering wheel controls for track advance. Humm... Might actually be worth it.

Still... That is a lot of money.


Installation pretty easy?

We've known rough performance numbers on the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe for some time now: 0-60 in under six seconds, up to 30 mpg with the 2.0T, and so on. But one set of key numbers has eluded us until now: price. Hyundai's rear-drive performance hopeful will weigh in at $22,000 for the base 210-hp 2.0L turbo model, and the 306-hp 3.8L V6 will start at $25,000.

Despite being the price leader, the 2.0T still piles on a lot of kit including a six-speed manual transmission, a full compliment of brake-related electronics (ABS, traction control, brake force distribution, and brake assist) and 18-inch alloys wrapped in Bridgestone Potenzas. Standard creature comforts include keyless entry, cruise control, air conditioning, leather wrapped wheel and shifter, a six-speaker AM/FM/XM/CD/MP3 player with USB port and steering wheel audio controls, and Bluetooth.

Tuner types and gearheads will probably be most interested in the newly announced mid-priced 2.0T R-Spec model ($23,750). Hyundai has chosen not to make the R-Spec a stripped-out lightweight performance model. As such, the model still includes things like the aforementioned six-speaker stereo, air-conditioning and remote keyless entry, but the 137-mph coupe also gets Hyundai's full compliment of performance hardware, including uprated Brembo brakes, stiffened suspension, a Torsen limited-slip differential, and 19-inch gunmetal alloys wrapped with summer tires.

I would prefer to go that route but Bobbie honestly doesn't want it. She has a nice Alpine (with full speed control) that I put in her Miata but she still pulls the iPod to setup her playlist through the iPod.

She says it is too many buttons that she can't see while she is driving. She isn't very "techy" so I guess I can see her point...

Her Civic does have the mini-jack aux input but she doesn't use it for the iPod now because it doesn't charge the iPod.

I was hoping for something in the middle. I guess not... *sigh*

Based upon what I saw Jason do to Bree's car, I'd say middle of the road...

There is A LOT of dash trim in the civic that needs to be removed to get to the stereo. But, once you get that out, all you have to do is plug the adapter into the back of the stereo. No cutting. No soldering. No goofy wire harnesses. The truest sense of "plug-n-play."
