I have found that the reception on the HD module is not what I would like. The F900BT has a POWER ANTENNA connection which is to power the amp in the ML antenna.

Let me know what your findings are.

j3cubcapt...have you gotten rid of the annoying static when turning the rear defrost on? I have that issue and I know there is a fix - possibly the reception is being muddied by that issue (if you have it).

What specifically do you mean by "Is there any way for me to get my subs to work?" Are you talking aftermarket AMP and Subs or the Bose unit installed in most vehicles? If they are aftermarket...buy the IEC AULOC and tap your lines...use that to connect an RCA wire to the AMP and run power lines...the rest should be simple.

Well, I have to admit I have not had that problem. Lucky I guess. I live in Texas and we don't really have cold weather, however I have indeed used the read defrost over the last few months with no noticeable static.

The F90BT will require the same antenna adapter as the F900BT. The only real difference between the two are the output voltage, and the warranty.

What Backup camera are you thinking about using and where do you plan to attach it? License plate or bumper?

hey will, I plan to put the backup cam on the plate. Really debating on that as well. Dont know if I should go with the more expensive ccd or the cheaper cmos. Do you think 180 angle is bit too wide. I dont really want it to look like a fish eye view. Do you have a backup and hd tuner installed?

OK W163, just wanted to clarify :)

I'm also interested in a back up camera - would love to see install pics and details of everything if possible.
