I also got the sony remote and mounted it on the dash. I had removed the dash display and fabricated some new black plastic to fill the space of the stock display and mounted the remote on it http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b22/MikeM8560/Venture%20XVZ12/mvc_759s_416.jpg the remote controls all radio and cd funtions along with the XM satalite reciever sony has as an add on. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b22/MikeM8560/Venture%20XVZ12/mvc_760s_461.jpg I didnt have a casset deck and had previously installed a I pod tranponder deck in the place the cassette would have been. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b22/MikeM8560/Venture%20XVZ12/MVC-588S.jpg the stereo has 52 watts per chanel ( 4 channel) and installed Polk 4" 105 watt dash speakers http://www.crutchfield.com/S-C55VjcYspyv/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?g=51200&tab=essential_info&i=107DB400 the sound is great and alot better bass then stock.
