Rear DVD Entertainment System (with new 8" screen)


I wonder if it will be possible to upgrade our existing screen to this one....

I'm also curious if I can get those HIDs to upgrade the 2007 I have.

Revised 2008 info, see Post # 3.

And don't forget a upgraded Can Bus system carrying even more info. I don't know if thats good or bad.
