Clarion VX409
 

So after doing some research and visiting Futureshop, Bestbuy, and so on, I've decided to get a deck installed at a local shop down the street from my work. This deck was recommended as it has a tilt and a high contrast, but does not need to be too far out of the console. I was concerned as my Teg is a 5-Speed, I didn't want to smash the screen. I just wanted to check and see if anyone knew of any issues with this deck or the cost I'm paying for my install...

Any input is always appreciated.
