I decided I wanted bluetooth and XM, so last weekend I replaced the head unit in my 08. I installed a Pioneer AVH-X3800BHS and a SiriusXM SXV300v1 XM module. I also used a Metra XSVI-5520-NAV wiring harness and a Metra 95-5812 double DIN mounting kit. I also needed a Metra 40-CR10 antenna adapter.

This was probably the easiest stereo install I have ever done. Plenty of room in the dash cavity, the finished product looks really good and sounds a lot better than the stock stereo, even with the factory speakers. I will probably replace the factory speakers over the winter, when it's comfortable working in the garage.
