What are you using for brackets? They sort of look like they're pulled off another car.

Nice going legendary, just gotta clean that bezel up.

I've got mine sitting here in the box, I can't wait to get my bezel from Kee Audio and install this sucker.

You mentioned you can't use GPS while driving....explain? How did you get around this?

You can use the GPS while driving, you just can't program new destinations while driving - the parking brake has to be engaged to activate programming. (Actually, the parking brake switch has to be providing ground to the safety wire - I'll let you figure it out from there.)

Ahem... we don't support don't anything as incredibly stupid as watching video while driving so any post describing methods to bypass this important safety feature will be deleted. <cough, cough>

I installed my F700BT today with great success as well. Looks essentially just as Legendary's setup does except I decided not to cut up my bezel and I will be ordering a custom made one from someone. Use some old sheet metal or aluminum to make L-brackets (old computer cases work well). I ran my Sony Walkman cord into the glove compartment box.

The installation and splicing of wires was foolproof, its essentially color-to-color matching and crimping. Since I didn't have any aftermarket power amps, rear video camera, or RCA-connector speaker cables, one half of the installation cords are unused. I did not connect the reverse-signal-indicator wire nor did I connect the parking brake wire (ground it!).

I also performed the hardware bypass on my unit and can edit GPS functions while in motion. I need to get a SD card so I can edit on-board files, watch movies, etc. Since we are condoning that specific behavior, if you need help check out www.avic411.com for more information on the Pioneer series of headunits. I do not plan to even have movies on my headunit as that IS stupid as previously noted...but the ability to edit GPS on-the-fly could prove to be useful and necessary albeit dangerous.
