GPS Receiver
OPUS Power Source (i don't understand what this does, what is this?)
Is this all I need to start off ?
Yes, thats basically it. (you do need some routing software for the GPS)
You could swap the OPUS for a much cheaper invertor, and use the power suppy from your old cabinet.
The Opus is a power supply with an advanced (and great) power up/shutdown controller, that powers up the system when you start your car, and shuts it down nicely when you turn off the ignition.
