Great install!
Thanks, eganders. Unit is silver, perfect match for the console. Trim is white, but sort of a silvery white with a real shine to it. So it doesn't really stand out. I'm probably going to paint it, though don't really think about it much as it does blend it pretty nicely. The left side of the faceplate comes off, including the Alpine button. Just a quick push and it springs out.
Absolutely love the stereo. Seamless iPod integration. Much, much better than any other HU I've seen. Also much better than controlling the iPod directly. I have to do that in my PT Cruiser, as I've got the Chrysler factory NAV in there, and it's a serious pain now after getting used to the Alpine in the Xfire.
