I was sick of having no music cause this stuff was in the way:

So I put the HU here:
No, I cant reach it, no I dont care.

if it had a remote it would be fully functional and NOT a bad idea at all..

 

and get a cd changer... Your set!

 

I personally don't see why you move it...without a way for the driver to easily access it and control it...my .05 cents (inflation)

 

because he has no room on his dash... he could put it in the little armrest thing in the center... that woulda been nice... or even in teh glove compartment... heh

 

The work you did looks pretty nice, but don't you listen to music? I mean I'd at least want a way t turn it on without climbing int he back seat, unless you have steering wheel controls

 

I have an on off switch by the ebrake. I dont car about switching tracks or whatever, and I already have a changer, so I just pop in 6 cds and hit the road. Then I'm all set.

If I had a detachable faceplate, I would have relocated it under the pass seat and extended just the faceplate wires and affixed the faceplate to the dash somewhere, or maybe over the rear view mirror,

Your crafty ........just replace that HU with an aftermarket HU with full function (microwave signal(?)) remote and your set. You dont have to aim the remote at the HU with microwave(?) or whatever pioneer uses for their remotes. I dont have to aim at the HU.

 

Actually, even infrared remotes will work. I can "bounce" my remote signal to my Tv off the wall and it will still work.

 

get a new deck that has remote

 

what the hell is wrong with you??

Ant

 

whadaya mean???

 

if anything, buy a new headunit and install it in your glove box. I just think you made yourself look a lil stupid by showing everyone where you installed your radio, thats what i mean!

Ant

 

Yo dude,
I like it. So f*ck off.
I dont mess with the radio at all when i drive so I have no need to be able to reach it, just on and off.

personally, i think it's damn creative. maybe a little impractical, but sweet nontheless. so how did you do it? what did you use?

 

When you have passengers in the back do they mess with you by turning the radio on and off and switching to am/fm? I know I would

 

looks real good

 

...is that suppose to be a tv/dvd screen on the first pictures? what is that grey part on the left side of it near the steering wheel?

 

Its different, I can say that much

 

Sorry mang...not feeling it at all. Good work putting it together, but I don't like the silver in the dash at all (looks out of place), and the head unit being there is a bit ridiculous (I know you said you don't care, just giving MY opinion).

You could mos def get an aftermarket unit with a wireless or wired remote. Actually, I think a wired remote like the one on my friends Sony would be better than wireless...just mount it somewhere you can reach it.

Just my 2 cents...no offence intended. The creativity and craftsmanship are good...

 

I think is it looks good and being that i'm tall i can actually reach into my trunk from the front seat. so that would be fine for me. Pretty creative if you asked me how much of a pain was it to extend the wires back there. Brian

 

Im pretty much all show no go:
that TV/DVD screen is a greddy profec E-01 boost controller.
theres also a turbo timer and an safc.

I was going to put in the aluminum dash kit, which would tie everything together, but quite frankly, I realy dont care about it matching. I drove around for a month with no music, the blow off valve is enough for me. But sometimes on long highway trips I felt a little bored so I just had it in the trunk. After a while I got sick of hearing it rattle around so I mounted it where you see it now. I can turn it on and off and thats fine, generally, my passengers are the ones why mess with the music anyway.

It works well for me, and I suppose thats all that matters.

People bullsh!t a little 2 much over here. I think it looks straight and very creative that's 4 sure.

fools...its not about whats inside the car, its about what is under the hood. Because i guarantee that ish will blow ALL you away!! I get the impression from some of you that he can engineer a complete turbo system, but cant figure out how to hook up a radio. some people dont care about thumpin beatz, and perhaps instead of spending $300 on some ghey radio he wants to put his money where it counts. damn haters...

ctn, again, amazing ride. i still want a ride in it! that one from BTC didnt count :P

 

Thats pretty creative. I like it.
