Hello all,
Well it's that time again... I will be picking up a 08' FB on wed.. I will be removing the cdm's sometime this weekend, in preparation for the new install...
I know what's instore for me so i wont bore you with what i had tyo go through the first time..(those who helped me through that maddness know what i am talking about I thank you all..)

Since i have to go throught this rubbish every 2- 3 years or so and i DONT have any choice about vehicle choice .. my questions is this.. is the 08 ANY easier(to install) than previous years? or am i in for the same crap?
Thanks for the help.

Just finished an install in my work 06 Trailblazer using the Havis console. Excellent instructions and uneventful install. I now have 13" of space to accomodate a Spectra Astro W5 head, 295 siren, PCDS9 control head and two M1225s. The only drawback is the need to wreck the factory console (by cutting it in half). Finshed install is awesome - also, I moved the computer mount to the side of the console which allows it the float in the center and facilitate passengers again! The standard Havis computer mount places the pole about 6" right of the OEM console effectively eliminating space for frontseat passengers. Hope this info is helpful.
