Thanks everyone.

I had looked up units on Crutchfield but I really dislike adding aftermarket things to cars. Why? My experience is that if it all works out OK, great. But when not, then what do you do? I don't have the experience to hack something together and I don't want the car to look like garbage. Professional installers run into the same problem but they have the experience to know what to do to fix it and may even have parts that allow them to fix it. And, best of all, it's not my hassle, it's their problem.

I had a hands free device installed in a car years ago and it seemed to work fine but they forgot to hook up the radio silencer when calls came in. I returned to the shop and they fixed it. No cost, no problem. I could have easily made the same mistake and would have had to open up the dash again and figure out the wiring. Probably hours of work. Instead, I got to read car magazines for a half hour while they skinned their knuckles. (OK, they probably don't but I always do.)

I'll look into what these folks offer and their costs.

Thanks again.
