I also have an 04 GX - I bought a 9" clarion and had it installed by a local shop. It has a FM mod so you have to tune your radio to a certain frequency to get the sound from the speaker system. The clarion comes with two sets of wireless headphones which are really good. The picture is one of the best in business. My advice would be to go with a good name brand. Saving a few buck on this is not worth it. My installation cost about $150 and the tech did an excellent job he got the power wired straight from the battery with additional fuses etc. Really clean job and would recommend him if you are in the DC metro area. Thanks for the reco, unfortunately, I'm in socal...Do you know where he ran the wire, esp. in lieu of the moonroof, as well as the side curtain airbags? Also, any other suggestions to tap the wiring as opposed to the battery up in the engine bay? I'm assuming might be easier to grab behind the existing radio harness/panel when the in-line modulator is installed???

I would not suggest anything bigger than 9". If at all possible get a flip down with a built in DVD and FM modulator. Unfortunately, the wiring for the factory dvd is located under the console for the shifter. Make sure that you route your wires so they do not interfere with the "curtain airbags". It would be easier if you just install headrest monitors because you will not have to route too many wires. I have 7" headrests and a 10.4 flip down. When you decide to do your install, I will give you some details to take the seat apart for the headrest. I just purchased an Alpine 10.2" flip down monitor/dvd player, and was planning to do the install myself. Could you provide me with tips around wiring, also where you tapped for power?
