Went back in to install this the navi

Had to tap into the speed sensor (pink with blue stripe) wire and reverse light wire (green and white stripe). found it in this connector

 

Ths cable connected to the dvd player under driver seat


For some reason Reverse Cable wire (pink) was short so i cut of Telephone Mute (brown) wire and extended Reverse Cable

Reverse Cable tap

Speed Sensor Tap

 

Very nice...but all those wires makes Baby Jesus cry.

 

For those who want to bypass the option where u cant watch dvds or mess with the navi whilt the car is in motion
Here is the ground tap


just tap the parking sensor into the ground also

 

 

I had the exact same setup Kenwood DVC 815DVD. I got sick of it and sold it. I got some pics in my site. Enjoy.

 

How long were you working on this? Looks pretty good though. Is that just an open shelf in between the head unit and the temp control?

 

Two separate installations

When i installed the HU and the Keg, that took about 8 hours, with about an hour wasted on a screw on the side of the factory radio that i had to drill out since i mistakenly wore out the thread with a high powered drill ;-)

the NAVI took abou 3 and most of it was making sure i found the right wires to tap into and beautifying the whole installation

and yes thats is an open shelf, wish it wasnt

 

alll that work you and no gxe trim

 

I got and prefer the brush aluminum trim ;-)

Still looking if i can get that trim for the HU border

 

A Kenwood DDX7015 would have fixed that open shelf.

Looks good anyway man.

 

How on earth did you know what wires are for what in that mess? I've just picked up a 2K Max and I can't work out what wires are for what. Any resources available online? Very nice install BTW.

I've find two female plugs under the drivers seat not plugged into anything and one in the fuse box attached to nothing....

 

That is freaking sweet

 

Thanks

For the HU i got an adapter that plugs into the plug that plugs into the factory radio

and then those are color matched to your speaker wires

For the tap in that took a while to find but i found a spot that has all the wiring schematics. go to http://phatg20.net/index.php register, its free, go under FSM Factory Service Manuals and download the one for Maxima 2000, its an exe about 96MB, has every wiring diagram you will need for the car.

Here are the 2 that were useful for me



M46 was the common connector where both wires i needed where, so once i found M46, which took a while, i was good to go, also called up crutchfield and they told me of a 18 pin connector so figured it was M46 which shows up as an 18 pin connector

 

Yo could you go a lil more in depth on this? I just had my 915 installed and they did not bypass the park feature. So do you tap that black wire to the Green park wire?

 

Sure

rather, the green wire needs to tap into the black wire(ground) that worked for both the 815dvd and the navigation unit

 

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn (c) craig & smokey

 

this is one sick install

 

Right?! remind me to get a all-in-one joint when i buy a monitor/nav/dvd.
He got it working and looking good though

 

So the green wire is cut and tapped into the black (ground wire). I guess once I get a better look at it I'll understand.

 

not even cut, just tap the green wire into the ground an you will be good to go

 

It really isnt that bad, all that cabling is because they give you more than enough to wire whichever u want to. The length of the cable for the hideway unit to the head unit is about one and a half size of the car, and you can make that look pretty also with shelling from like radio shack

Here is the Gps antenna

 

Thanks alot for the link I'm downloading the FSM now.

 

Nice install, but that looks like a night mare compaired to my avic - n2. all in one and only one hide away, well + the ipod adapter, and the XM stuff.

 

Thanks. Pricing and the music Keg its what made me decide on this one. Everything u see came up to $1946. The pioneer unit alone is in the 1200-1400 price range, plus can play dvd with music, in essence greating a mini ipod (4 gig's worth of music), something that pioneer could not do. Keg came with a 10 GB cartridge and purchased an additional 40 GB cartridge.

Plus can add a tv tuner, satellite radio and hd radio

 

navi's sweet but i like my eclipse AVN 5435 better...

how much that bad boy cost u?

 

Here is the breakdown
KVT815-dvd - $899
kna-dv4100- $570
Musig Keg - $147
40 GB cartridge - $216

 

Looks good. Anyone know if the AVIC D1 will fit in the stock radio opening? I like it cause its a double din 6.5" screen. When the face flips down, theres 2 cd slots 1 for the GPS and 1 for music so you can leave music cds in there and use the GPS. Plus you can add on a DVD player too.

 

lookin' good....i'm sure i'll be pm'ing you for assistance.

 

Where'd you get your navi for so cheap?

One other thing. Is there any particular reason you mounted your navi under the seat. I read somewhere that it needed to be horizontal, but I was wondering would it work fine installed in our slightly slanted dash just above or beneath the h/u?

 

No problem, partly why this thread was created

 

got it on ebay. there is one on there right now as i type for $520

More of a convenience thing, was thinking of the glove compartment but ultimately settled for under the seat. according to the instructions they wanted it to be horizontal.

 

thats a lot of freakin wires

 

awsome setup. The video was cool but that door being open and the ping going off was driving me nuts haha. congrats on the new toys

 

Yo man thanks for the info, I got my park feature bypassed now. Simpler than I thought.

 

sweet head unit

 

Decent video after you turned the rap off. Should have closed your driver door.
