Sorry to bring back an old thread but ive been searching forever. I just purchased a AVN 5435. I found out where the Speed Sensor wire was, but my friend just installed this in his WRX and says you need to find a Reverse wire too.... Where is this in our car?

 

You dont need the reverse unless your using the rearview camera.

 

Awesome Igor, can't tell if that is the 5435 or 5495, but I just had the 5435 installed the day after Christmas. I agree with you, nothing beats it, wonderful head unit!

 

his is a 5435..he copied me

 

hmm i gess there wont' be a write up on how to wire this thing huh... im not good with wiring... great job.... crossing fingers that there will be a write up on the wiring cuz iam seriously thinking about purchasing that nav system... i was eye-ing it for a week so far.... looks good....

 

it wasnt that hard for me, but it is time consuming

if you get the harnesses and follow instructions then its not bad at all

since you are in Jersey, you need to go see Don

 

Or you could go the more mainstream and often criticized route:

*drool*

I want this.

By the looks of it, though, I lose my AM/FM radio don't I? I imagine I also lose casette... but I've never played a casette in my Maxima so who cares?

Would suck to lose AM/FM though.

 

You do not lose AM/FM, but yes, you do lose casette - however, this isn't 1985, so you should be ok.

 

I still need to order up your amp...

 

am/fm is still there although i havent used it since going sirius

 

let me know wat i should be doing.... any info u need i'll give it to u... thanks alot man

 

So I just leave the wire alone then?

 

Yup, no need for it.

 

Sweet! I'm definitely sold (once I can convince myself to spend the money on something I don't *really* need, but would love).

I'm looking at the AVN7000 with the 20GB mp3 hard drive and the hidden screen that comes out at the push of a button.

Hey Igor (or anyone else who has installed this), how is the installation? I don't have any experience with fiddling with my Maxima's stereo... still have the stock Bose head unit and speakers on the GLE. Will this be way beyond my ability or are the instructions clear enough for a novice?

How's the sound quality in comparison to the stock stereo?

 

Did u need to replece the Vents with a different peice to let it fit or did u just take the radio out and buy a peice that was the size of the stock radio size. Im asking beccause my vents above have the wood trim peice so i really wouldnt want to remove it......

 

where did you guys put the GPS antenna?
I put my in the front right corner by FM/ AM antenna wire, I think it causing too much static for the fm/am radio. I have talk a pro installer and they say it shouldn't cause any static for the radio.

 

Its not a difficult install, in fact not much more than a standard aftermarket radio. Although If you purchase one I would recommend letting the dealer you purchase it from do the install. 3 year warranty and a year of theft coverage.

 

Up in the dash, no need to see that thing.

Theres no reason why it should cause radio interference.

 

No warranty coverage if its self-installed? My installer wanted $450

 

Nope..Bought from an authorized dealer and self installed..1 year warranty.

Bought And installed by dealer..3 year warranty and a year of theft coverage.

 

its too bad you have to live so far away. I would have had you do all my electronics Don

 

$450 for an hour's worth of work.

WOW.

Come on by to jersey I'll do it for half.

 

igor are you selling the gxe trim?..by any chance?...please send me a pm if so..thx..money in hand..

 

Its all good, I wish I lived closer to alot of people. $450 is VERY steep for a simple install.

 

It would end up being more money for him then peniswrinkle.

 

Did you say something?

 

Hows your trunk and subs?

 

AWESOME. So clear I can hear EVERYTHING.

 

Like? Air perhaps?

 

yes. a pleasant quiet drive.

what's your day look like tomorrow?

 

Sunny High
37° F

Precip: 20%
Mainly sunny. High 37F. Winds NW at 10 to 15 mph.

 

Guess the GF wasnt wth you?

 

cute.

how about your schedule?

 

hehe, she was but only for a short while.

 

Hmmm...dunno?

I still have to give you money, so I figured you were comin back tonight. LoL

 

Ahhh so pleasant and quite was only for Most of the time then?

 

great looking navi!

 

Hey I have one more question during the install. I havent had my steering wheel controls since I changed out my stock headunit and I miss them. I noticed the Eclipse has a connecter, what do I do to make it work? Is the only solution the pac swix?
