I was going to put some pics of my instal up a week ago, but I had to wait for a ban to lift on my account. Ban lifted. 10 points accumulated. Good thing those points are not proportional to drivers license points!!
So I ripped out my old headunit which was a Kenwood Excelon where I ran music off my thumbdrive. I bought the new DVD playet thinking I would be able to run videos, pictures, and music off my thumbdrive. To my suprise, you can only run music off of it. ****ty. But the good thing is the DVD player will sort music and videos according to whatever you choose. You have the option to sort by Song, Artist, Album, Genere, Podcasts, etc.
Well like I said, you can't run videos form the thumbdrive, so I went and bought a 32Gig iPod touch so I can get on the internet too. Also had to buy the kenwood cable which interfaces with Ipod and allows me to controll it from the DVD player. Cool! After uploading videos and music and pics to the Ipod, I have to say, it is pretty much everything I wanted. I just thought I was going to be able to do it from my thumbdrive like my old chines crap DVD player that I got on Ebay.
So here are some pics of the install.

Had to run this from the deck to the hideaway unit that I mounted in the trunk. Yey.
