iSimple for iPod and Sirius -- Seamless Install
Recommend those wanting iPod or Sirius in their Boss -- the iSimple system is the way to go. This system provides for full radio steering wheel controls for both your iPod and Sirius -- associated text is also displayed. All iSimple hardware, sans iPhone hook-up, fits behind the stock radio unit. I also swapped out the stock front speakers for JL 5"X7" co-axial speakers. The JL speakers bring crisp, clear sound to the cabin -- far superior to the factory units. I kept the rear speakers as they bring some need bass. Overall, super upgrade. The crew at Boulvard Customs of Saint Petersburg performed the work -- they did an outstanding job. FYI, the satellite antenna was installed forward (via double-sided tap) on the front dash, extreme right corner. Reception is great.

In for specifics on the iSimple

I have Pioneer TSD6802R speakers and they are a noticeable improvement over stock. I'm not looking for audiophile SQ but the stock speakers are very poor. Almost anything would be an improvement.

He is a site that was giving on a previous post.
Can you put a picture of where you put the antenna?

Thanks for Other Members Providing Info
As for pics, there's really nothing to see after the install. However, Boulevard Customs provided the equipment and performed the install. However, I'll take some pics of the text features on the radio display and where the iPod hook-up is located. As for speakers, just about anything is better than the stock speakers -- FYI, yup, the stock set is from China.

This sounds promising, I have been looking for something that allowed for iPod interface through the steering wheel controls. Does the Isimple charge the iPod while it is in use?

Cost
I probably paid too much -- however, these guys are the best in the area. Total with all parts and labor -- north of $700. I know, it's a bunch of money; however, what the heck.

Holy cow! That is a lot of mods worth. Oh well, if you are happy and I am sure it sounds good so be it. I have not priced having this done so at least I know what I am up against. Thanks!

I bought the setup and will be installing this weekend if the weather is nice. Forecast is for 72* so I shouldn't have any excuses! I'm driving 500 miles to Vegas next month for the Shelby American 50th Anniversary Bash so I want to get this installed before then for sure. And yes, I'll post pics..

Got it installed today. Took a long time to get the antenna wire run. I ended up putting it under the plastic panel around the wipers. I'm not sure I'll keep it there since the audio cuts out a little when heading southeast.
One thing to note: If you use the kit you need to turn on dip switch #2. That was not in the instructions that came with it. It took the Google to save the day.
Popping the console lid up and taking the radio bezel out was very easy. I also put in some new Pioneer speakers while I was at it.
