Thanks, yeah I was debating between black and chrome finish, I got chrome because I could always paint it black later on down the road when I get tired of it.

Also after I installed the steering wheel controller and tested it, it would work sometimes then sometimes it would not. I took a break from the controller to install other parts. I disconnected the battery in the engine bay for a few hours to install other audio equipment, then when I put everything back together and tested it again, it works perfect, skips to next track, fast forwarding when holding down, and volume controls work perfect. Don't get discouraged if it does not work the first time or is glitchy in the beginning. If it is glitchy DC the battery and see if that helps after reconnecting. I thought I was going to have to reprogram it but I guess it has memory built in. Either way good luck

edit: sorry I made a mistake on the original post, I used a PAC SW controller instead of Metra's kit. From what I have read Metra's kit is much easier to install. I am sure you will have no problems, I went with PAC because it was cheaper than Metra, but then I spent more time trying to get it right. I should have got the Metra for $15 bucks more, would have saved me some headache and time.
