    Hi folks. I know, I know, everyone says it's soooo easy. However, I am seriously mechanically inept! :mad:

    I just purchased a new (P11) Rosen head unit from Phil at Trail Duty. Now I need a good installer on Long Island to get this job done.

    Does anyone have any recommendations?

    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks Ragz! A few questions. First, did they ground the blue parking wire so you can watch DVDs (the passenger) while the car is in motion? Where did they mount the sat and nav antennas? And of course, price? :)

    Thanks so much!

    I did ask them to do that, but they put in a toggle switch to allow me to watch wjile moving. The sat antenna is on the roof above the rear view mirror, magnet, the nav is on top of the dashboard, drivers side next to the windshield. I didnt tell them where to put anything, thats just where they put it. The price was not expensive, i dont really remember. i have used them alot to put in things that i bought for this car. they are reasonable and do a good job. You can call and ask them 516-364-5599 Paul or Lou. Tell them the guy with the Blue Prius gave you the number.

    Thanks again Ragz. By the way, your Prius looks AMAZING! Love it! From the looks of the pictures, you didn't have the Rosen installed at the time. I don't see a satellite antenna on the roof in front of the rear view mirror. Does having the antenna on the roof in the front bug you? Meaning, does it disrupt the "flow" of the car? Also, what about the nav antenna inside the cabin on the dash? Is it obtrusive?

    Reason I ask, is because I spoke with Paul today from Sound Dimensions! He will be doing my install first thing Saturday morning. I am wondering if I should buy a longer connector and have the satellite antenna on the back of the roof, by the shark fin. And if I should ask to have the nav antenna installed inside the dash.

    Let me know your thoughts, and THANKS again!

    The sat on top doesnt really bother me the nav on the dash is right in front of my face so if i was to do it again i would prefer to hide them. Good luck. BTW i love the Rosen.
