thanks all for the complements. replacing the stero is my next project, but it will have to wait as I spent all my money on the scanner. My wife jokes that I installed a scanner that costs more than the value of my car, it has ~310Kmiles on it.
Nice install. Considering Uniden designed this scanner for DIN mounting, I wish they could have included interchangeable trim rings in silver *and* black. I know this sounds very superficial, but that silver color in many dark-colored cars' interiors is just screaming "STEAL ME!!!".
