Off topic to the rattles and pops got the final piece of my interior done, bezel back in and about complete finally (except for a couple USB plug in ports and things like that)
Originally got a single Din radio, but after realizing that I would have to hack up my dash and everything else I was exploring other options. Not wanting to just mount a radio 'somewhere' just to have one I figured after all the money I already spend on interior why not go with a nice radio, so I got the retrosound hermosa radio. I am extremely pleased with that decision, everything about the kit down to the boxes is top notch. I mostly listen to music through my phone anyways, and it uses blue tooth so pretty cool to not have wires running all over the place getting wrapped up in the shifter etc. Plus you can answer calls and all that fancy crap as well!
Looks sorta factory, is all digital, has USB, 2 AUX, and sub outputs on the back, also bought a USB/Aux port that will mount into the dash with a little flip cover to charge stuff, or use to play tunes. I have installed a LOT of radios, and while it wasn't hard, it was definitely involved! I picked up a scorsche (sp?) adapter for the stock harness which converted all the wires to modern color codes which simplified install greatly.
