Looks pretty good, man. I have a compass on my radar detector, so I know how that is. Regardless of the compass, I still get lost, that's why I'm putting GPS nav in my car.

Here in my area, the same West-East roads have 3 different names depending on what county or city you're in. I lived on the border, so literally I'd start on Hall Rd. which was also M-59, if you don't get on the expressway it's then Dolbry, and then turns into South Blvd. Other times you're on 25 Mile Rd, and it turns into Parkdale, which then turns into some other name. 16 mile is also Big Beaver, and also Metro Parkway.

Looks good, did you get it from a truck or get it from a catalog?

Was it very hard to hook up or is it pretty straight forward?

nice job

i got it off a silverado, all the wiring is there, only diffrence is the plugs are diffrent. Just a constant, a switches and a ground.

It was easy just cut off the plug from the camaro, and hard wire it.
white to white, black to black, and green to green.

Hah, how bout when Rochester Rd becomes Stevenson Hwy and Van Dyke becomes M-53. 15 Mile becomes Maple, Square Lake is also 19 mile. The best is when there are two of the same roads miles apart. Like Auburn Rd ends at mound and starts again in downtown Utica

Sorry, but MI is probably the most confusing place to drive around if you don't know what you're doing. And we're supposed to be the Motor City

That sucks. Although I still say SF is the toughest place to get around, bar none.
