I was told that 5th Gen GXEs have a different radio dash trim.

Can a GXE guy post a picture of it?


I would like to see it.


Thanks

here is the GXE trim in a GLE. different aftermarket head units fit it differently, but this piece is it, from Courtesyparts.com

 

PLEASE.. tell me DETAILS !!!!!!!!!!!!!


What you have there is the GXE trim and which HU??? How much did u pay for the trim??? Junkyard or new??



Last sentence is not clear. What did u get from Courtesyparts.com?? The trim or the HU that fit the trim???


You wouldnt know which HU fits this trim, would you??

New piece from that site. Most aftermarket HUs will fit.

 

I went there.. and I guess you meant you got this from them:

$95 !!!!!!

 

try ebay or the classifieds.

 

yeah, thats what i got, and a week later, someone posted it for sale in the classifieds. you can find them sometimes, but at that point, i couldnt

the headunit i have now is the Eclipse AVN-2545. it MIGHT be for sale not sure, but thats it.

 

talk to dave B, he sells it cheaper thn them and he wil include the pocket i think.

 

if you look at Irish's set up it is crazy clean the way he did his. Real classy.

 

Here's my setup....I have an SE, but this is the 2000 GXE trim piece with the "pocket" (with door) from a 99 Maxima....as stated above, get this stuff from Dave B....The deck is an Alpine CDA-9853...

(btw, I'm not going to talk about the LED stuff in this thread...so if anyone wants to know, look back a few days for the thread on the subject )

 

looks real good irish, im not a big DIN fan but it looks good

 

I got my trim piece from crutchfield.com. It cost $25.98 shipped.

 

I beleive that is known as the "scosche" trim piece....though personally I prefer the GXE trim if only because it is color-matched to the rest of the dash....

 

+1 i agree, it seems way too dull compared to the gxe.

also..

what kind of tv is installed?

 

that's an eclipse unit

hey KCMC582, don't you hate that little gap on top of the unit?

 

yeah, i do hate it. when i go back down to Dons he said he is gonna put a plastic or plexiglass piece there, to make it look nice and flush, but yes, it DOES drive me nuts.

 

I have one too.






The last 2 pic are without the pocket cover.

 

cool. let me know how it turns out. I'm in need for one also.

 

Really hard to tell which looks better.

 

eclipse unit rocks

 

eclipse unit has an ugly gap........

 

yeah but what really fits? nothing.. unless u know something i dont know

 

do you know what model that is, and also if it comes with a remote?

 

AVN 2454
does not COME with a remote but one can be purchased

mine might also be for sale if anyone is interested

 

hey, haha, mine might also be for sale too!

 

yo casey how about a "used GD"

 

.

 

um... guess you guys dont like your units huh?

 

me and Nilesh both love them, but Dons been talkin about the new AVNs so much that its made both of us want them.

 

exactly....we'll make u a good deal

 

It's not the GXE trim, but here's my setup...







It looks like the kit is a little off, but that was because I lost one of the screws that holds everything in, thats all.

 

new AVN? got any pics?

 

eclipse unit rocks

 

I went ahead and bought the gxe kit after putting up with the ugliness of the american international kit for a year. I was wondering, how in the world does the radio attach itself to the mounting bars. Right now, my radio cage is attached to the AI kit, which is screwed into the mounting bars in the dash.

 

i ordered a trim piece from sound domain, and it matched perfect. i'll have to get some pics up

 

doh, I feel stupid for asking this. It just bolts in. Dunno why that didn't occur to me until this morning before I tried it.

 

here's mine, i dunno what's bothering you guyz about the top empty space, it doesn't bother me much.

GXE dash kit on a 00 GLE with avn5435

 

That's nice. That gap usually bothers the perfectionists on here, myself included.

 

I LOVE those Eclipse units, but I wouldn't want to deal with the gap. Stupid reason to not get one, I know, but the whole reason I liked the idea of the Eclipses was because they would fill the hole left by the stock Bose. If it doesn't do that or there isnt a kit to seal it up, I wouldn't be happy.

 

got a link to where u got it from on sounddomain? thanks in advance. i'm looking for a trim for AVH-P7500.
