The updates are done via a flash card through the USB cable. To upload cars and stuff like that, you'd have to hook the PC up via the USB cable (I think. I've never actually done this, just read about it). There's a lot of info and how-to's on the Kenwood forum. There is a specific thread on the startup screen how-to and another with images that people have created for their screens.

I'll leave the speaker question to biga. I had the base system and ran new wiring, but I'm no expert on that part.

Since you have the Bose system, you'll also need either a Metra or Scosche dash kit.

Do you happen to have a picture on how you mounted your cmos300 camera, did you drill a hole in your rear bumper? I am gonna get that as well. It looks like it has a switch that needs to be installed, where did you mount yours?

I scraped the pooh out of my hand getting it in there, but it sits in such a way that you can change the license plate light with no problem.
