Raxiom OE-Style Navigation system vendor installation suggestions

Just do it yourself, car audio is extremely easy to figure out and all of the radio and trim pieces come out very easily.

I'm cool with taking radio trim out. The GPS wiring and backup camera is what has me nervous. Just don't want to touch door panels, carpet, or A pillar trim

I'm actually contemplating just doing the radio myself and then double side tapping the GPS on the dash but I want everything done right...the first time

I've been thinking of buying one of those myself. I have it on my build list on AM and have been watching it for one of their sales.
I've actually considered running the camera to the front bumper for when I have to squeeze into my garage. Or maybe not hooking up a camera at all. (Got by this long without one) But hey, I'm a tech guy and I like flashy shit like that. Right now I'm torn between "bells and whistles" and going faster...

Try doing it yourself before paying someone else to do it. It should be pretty simple. I had the console off a few months ago. Ran the wires to my exhaust cutouts through the rubber shifter boot. Piece of cake.

Installation is pretty straight forward.
Unscrew the shifter knob.
Pull up on the center console.(it just snaps into place) Unhook the wires.
Two screws at the bottom of the radio bezel and your all set.
Make sure you get the XM radio ID off your old radio before you disconnect it.
The Bezel that comes with the kit is a direct replacement.
All the stuff you take off of the old bezel will go on the new one.
All the AC and Radio controls are just push button assemblies that are screwed onto the back of the bezel with a wire harness that just snaps on. Everything on the Raxiom one is designed to be plug and play which is why I like it.

Good Luck!

You might be able to run the GPS wire through the back of the center console, under the carpet, under the back seat, and attach it to the back window. Use something stiff like a wire coat hanger to fish it through. I saw a set up like that once. Let us know what you come up with. I'd like to buy one but right now I'm saving up for a beater to drive to work so I can stop putting so many miles on my car.

Nothing like the radio that was in my old fox body that's for sure...
