Ingredients:

1/2 medium red pepper, sliced
1/4 cup mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup yellow squash, sliced
1 small onion, thinly sliced
2 tsp olive or vegetable oil
1/2 cup torn spinach leaves
1 Italian flat bread or pizza crust (12 inches)
1 plum tomato, sliced
1/2 cup (2 ozs.) shredded part skim mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup thinly sliced grated Romano cheese
2 ozs. goat cheese
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 tsp balsamic or red wine vinegar
1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh (or 2 tsps dried) basil leaves
1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh (or 2 tsps dried) oregano leaves

Instructions:
In small skillet, saute red pepper, mushrooms, squash, and onion until crisp-tender in 2 tsps. oil. Arrange spinach leaves on flat bread; arrange sauteed vegetables, tomato and cheeses on spinach. Bake pizza on cookie sheet in preheated 450 degree oven until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes. Mix 2 Tbsps. oil, vinegar, and herbs; drizzle over pizza. Cut into wedges and serve immediately. Makes 4 (2 slice) servings.

Enjoy your pizza. Clean up kitchen.

Then take out your headunit , unplug harness. Wire DCI harness to Sony Harness. Solder and heat shrink connections. Plug in DCI. Re-install Headunit.

Viola! you've had dinner and now you've got a HU you can control with the Dash controls.

I have to say, I hate glidetouch on my 9855. That's the reason I'm going for a 9857 if the DCI will work with it.

i heard you have to run your finger across the white strip AND the little black strip that you can barely see.....and i also heard that you can jus turn the knob instead of sliding your finer or no???

First off the "speed" of the slider control is totally wacked out. If you move your finger slowly across it, you will only scroll like 2 albums (or whatever you're viewing by). That means to get anywhere you have to pick your finger up and keep scrolling over and over and over.

If you move your finger across it quickly, it'll make this quantum leap half way over your play list, and then you have to make little baby scrolls all the way back.

You can NOT just use the knob. Turning the knob automatically kicks you out of any menus and puts you at volument adjustment.

I'd personally much prefer to scroll with the knob, it feels much more accurate. Actually what I really want is an ipod scroll wheel right in the middle of my steering wheel
