I didn't know about the PAC SWIX, now that I do know I'd definately want to go with that too, I'd love to have the rear camera (but that's extra $$$) and of course the DVD Playter with TV Tuner.

BTW, I heard PAC discontinued the current PAC Audio AAI-NIS model and they're going to start manufacturing a newer model at the end of Jan/beginning of Feb. which will allow you to utilized both the Satellite radio and an extra audio source (such as DVD player). I've only heard this info from somone else from another forum, not sure if it's completely true.

Also, are you going to do this installation yourself or are you going to have pay some one to do it for you? If you are going to do the installation yourself I would greatly appriciate if you take notes step by step to how to DIY and post it up. Personally I don't have a clue about installing any of these modules. I know i'm asking for a lot here but hey if I don't ask I'll never get it anyways right?

The only thing thats holding me from doing this project is the financial factor vs the end result, because:

estimated costs
--------------------------------
1. TVandNav2Go is $200
2. PAC Audio AAI-NIS $80
3. PAC SWIX $50
4. Pioneer ND-BC1 Universal Rear-View Camera $200
5. DVD player w/ TV Tuner $120

total about: $650 (shipping and installation costs not included)

So I think to myself if it's worth to spend lets say some how ends up costing $400(ish) (w/o the rear camera) to have the luxury of playing (not even really watching) a DVD in a car that most likely is only me in there and max another person...

But in any case GOOD LUCK with your installation and I'm looking forward to seeing your result with this.
I had Audio Exchange in National City, CA do the install. For DVD player, I used Sony DVP-FX705. It's very slim and fits in the glove box and can even put service manual in the glove box with the DVD player. It only measures 7" x 6.5" x 1". I had two switches installed in the ash tray. One switch for switching between Navigation and DVD and the other one is the override switch for the DVD player so I don't have to open and reach in the glove compartment to turn the DVD player off. The reverse camera works good as well. It's connected to the reverse light and overrides whatever on the screen as soon as you put the car on reverse.
