Brandon: I am glorious!
Ok, well, maybe not. But why the hell should I pay Best Buy to install my new head unit in my car when all that was standing in my way was a trio of climate control knobs. The install went very well. After wiring up the wiring harness, it took me only a half hour to coax the old deck out of the dash. After that, it was surprisingly easy to move the climate control knobs over. Just followed the included directions and it was easy as 3.141592649. Anyways, once I got the climate control knobs re-arranged, and cut the little knotch out of the old mounting area as instructed, I was able to put the new dash mount in, and put the stereo mounting bracket in and secure it. After a little coaxing, I got the head unit to finally snap into place, I think I could have re-attached the main climate control cables underneath one of the old supports to give it more room, but anyways, what matters is that it worked right, and the first time no less. It only took 3 hours from start to finish too.
Oh, and by the way, the deck I got was the Pioneer DEH-P4500MP CD player with MP3 playback, flip down/detachable face and remote control ;). Got it for a great price at work too. And Did'nt have to spend $50 more on install. Besides, if I wanted my employee discount, I would have to have gone in whenever the install bay was'nt busy, I couldn't just set an appointment. And they are always busy.
Anyways, in other news, I did decide to enter something into the RPGDX 48 hour contest, and right now I'm tweaking the engine I'm going to use. Fixed an animation problem, the movable object problem, added a new font handler, and am now trying to fix a dialog box display problem.
Yes, B is a busy B =P
