Looks good, now you have me thinking about it.

one question:

In this day and age of idiotic theives and gps, how is the monitor attached? are you able to hide it when parked? Yes, i think theives are dumb enough to think it's a gps. and that equals a smashed window over 80 dollars worth of equipment.

This was my concern as well. Just read a news report about thieves smashing windows specifically to take GPS units. Even if all they see is the mounting bracket, they break in expecting to find the GPS unit in the glove box.

Overall I like your clean install. Nice job!

IT's nice, but think I would have spend a little more money and went with the Drive and Play 2, it's has a bigger screen, the controller is wireless and you can display the cover art, check it out:

drive+play2 is clean, but the display is to big and bright. if it wasnt always going to be in front of me, then i would of went with version 2.
