I'll be putting an Avic-D3 in my 08 Cayenne and need to find the double-din trim/fascia surround in black.. Anybody know where I can buy one of good quality? Thanks!

I never see trim as you need. Only custom made, in aluminium finish also.

Is the 03-07 dash/radio the SAME as the 08? In other words, will this:

The kit that I mentioned also includes a wire harness, and the attenna adapter so you dont have to splice into the factory wires, it has everything you need to make an aftermarket stereo truly plug and play. At 330 it is expensive, but the local stereo shop quoted me 400 for a custom plate installed.

I think I'd just stick a Garmin on the dash and be done with it...WTF, the seller can't even provide a decent close-up photo.

My personal opinion is that the kit is pricey, and doesn't look as good as the PCM cosmetically. I'd be interested to hear how good is the Pioneer unit in terms of its functionality.

my personal opinion is that the factory nav looks like somethin that came out of the 80s.. it seems like factory nav systems all look so outdated and you have to go aftermarket to get something modern at this point in time. I have a new pioneer AVIC-D3 on the way with all the toys (BT, back-up cam, XM w/ traffic, sirius, ipod) as well as that double din trim kit.. i'll post pics and feedback once its installed sometime late next week =)
