I had this unit installed in my Delorean with a small amount of modification. As usual the receiver indash, also a GPS antenna(gray 3"x3") on the dash by the passengers side A post and a small microphone(black 1"x3/4") mounted by the hazard button. The computer module fits behind the center council and a 400W Fosgate amp. is mounted in the compartment behind driver and all speakers were upgraded for better sound. Also an 8 disk CD changer is mounted sideways in the glove compartment by cutting out the bottom, but can't be seen behind the kneepad. All this was done to preserve the stock look of the car, with no holes drilled in the trunk, although a subwoofer tube(2-8") was added to the parcel shelf later. This unit is unique in that all directions & street names are shown on the head units VF display, and not on a separate screen display and all direction are spoken to you through your existing stereo speakers by a a voice that doesn't sound like a computer. In addition the unit is voice command so all of your destinations are spelled into the Commanders small microphone instead of manual input(good voice recognition software is used to accomplish this). Also the Commander controls the stereo functions to change to AM/FM or preset station, changes CD's and cd tracks and can optionally be used to rollup and down your windows and lock the doors or just tell you where you are, all by spoken commands! Although I opted not to hookup the windows & locks(to quirky) so I can't comment on how this works on my car. I will be adding it's hands free cellphone interface soon and will be able to place calls by voice command and listen through my existing speakers, not some tiny add ons. Of course all this technology comes at a price. But when I bought my car it was to drive and have FUN so lets go for it! I am not affiliated with Fujitsu Ten the manufacturer, and was actually recommended to the installation shop that suggested this system by One of the Delorean repair shops that I have used to restore my car. I thought that this technology fit in with the spirit of the car in which we drive, without changing the stock look to much. Translation: it's COOL, although my wife tells me that I do look strange driving while talking to my car ;) Unfortunately I can't make it to Cleveland, it conflicts with my work schedule, but info on the Eclipse Commander can be found at http://www.eclipse-web.com Gary Valenziano California Vin#5480
