Might settle on black or Brilliant Silver but not to sure....
Again, that is a pimp set up. Congrats and thanks for the info!

Do you have any plans for the base speakers?

If you watch the video I, you can see the start up time. I think it's 10-12 seconds. You have to keep in mind that this HU is packed with a lot of features. When you turn the HU on, it checks for SIRIUS, bluetooth compatible phone, GPS for the NAV and any other attachment(s){i.e. ipod, usb etc}. Therefore, it's NOT the fastest thing when we mention start up time but very reasonable. I usually start the car, put the seat belts on and by the time I'm ready to drive, it's on!

Zman, thank you for your question. You can find your answer in video II. Yes, it sound 10 times better. Sound is crisp and I can turn it up a lot more than before without distorting. Although, I am planning on replacing them with a good quality Component speaker set.

Before I answer you question, I must make a statement. I do not watch dvd in my car. The ONLY time dvds will be played in my Z when I have a passenger and we are on a long roadtrip. It's for the passenger entertainment only. With that said, yes, it's bypassed. Watch 1:11-1:15s 2nd video.
To answer the 2nd part of the question, please check your pm

I was messing around with the settings and found out that I CAN actually change the HU color theme to match my Z interior color!!! You can see how I did it in the Video Part II
Here are some after pictures
Check out Video no II
I had NO dvd here (I am not a dvd kinda guy. I watch all my movies in theater and via renting) in my possession. I simply grabbed "Chapelle's Show" just to give you an idea how the HU plays dvd. I must apologize
