Default Install question for the gurus....

I want to take on the installation of a JVC AVX44 H/U in my 01.

Along with it, I'm planning on installing the Ipod interface and a backup camera. I've done a few searches on the forum, but haven't really come up with any enlightening, so......

Questions:

1) Do I need any special adapters to connect the speakers?

2) Any recommendations on a backup camera/mount?

3) Any special "gotchas" I should prepare for in this installation?

4) Recommendation for a JVC vendor in the forum? I thought I found one, but it appears that vendor may not be the best choice.

I've done H/U installs before in other cars, but not a C5.


Thanks in advance,
-STeve

I got a great backup camera off ebay for about $125.00.

It mounted right above the license plate and used the screws that hold the light so no drilling.

I had to reverse the assembly and notch it with a DREMEL to get the right angle but it is bitchin.
