i have, it is plug and play with their wires, costs about $250 when all is said and done, it sounds better than stock but it is still not real quality audio when moving, sitting still it is great. i would recommend it over stock setup. can take you a couple of hours to install, being careful not to ruin anything. radio door is hardest part.

Install took me about thirty minutes. Easy install. A co-worker said the same. Tuck speaker wires under edge of console rather than pull pins.

I just installed the Lucid rear speakers. I agree the installation is easy, but I used Lucid's wiring harness and the added bulk made it difficult to get the head unit back in place. Not sure if I did something wrong. Now I am really struggling with getting the door and frame back in. The lower clips are bending up and not sliding into the slots. Anyone have a suggestion as to how to get this back in place? I don't want to break the clips off and have to buy a new door.

i had some difficulty with the door reinstall as well...so i bent the lower pins back to where the used to be and installed the bottom first...if it were possible to remove the consol cover(i think it is) then the install would be that much easier i think it was designed to be done that way. pins break easily so careful with the bending. door works perfectly now for months afterwards, so it is meant to take on and off. for about 25.00 you can always buy another door assembly if need be i think

Thanks for the tip. The console pops off very easily, four clips a side, start from the rear, then just pull it back and it gives enough clearance to push the door straight in. Took all of five minutes.

Now I have to figure out whether to do any other upgrades on the sound system.
