I was just wondering if anyone had pictures fo their in dash dvd/screen setup...just looking for ideas. Thanks

No pics to share, but I've been looking at same for my 2000 GLE and came up with the following combo as cleanest look:

Panasonic CQ-VD6503U with Scosche NN1494B trim kit.

HU is DDIN with touchscreen and DVD, so will fill up entire OE radio area. I haven't seen the fit/finish on the Scosche trim kit yet - have one on order - but expect it will be pretty good.

CQ-VD6503U for $699 at Crutchfield is best price I've seen so far. Trim kit about $15.

Interested in other ideas you might come up with.

 

TRIM KIT form scosche sucks and requires a bunch of trimming especially for a double din. GXE VENTILATOR ASSEMBLY FTW.

 

what size is you screen?

 

Here's another:



My newest setup looked identical to burnurass's.

 

the only pictures I have, I used a single din kit and cut the middle divider out

 

flip up ftw.

/thread

 

i dont like flip-up. to "showy" IMO. plus it blocks the vents
in dash has a more clean appearance.

 

mine looks like maxboost925 except for it being in the upper portion and different flipup

 

03 se, schorce POS trim, modded and fiberglassed FTW!!

 

heres my .2

 

Which single DIN kit did you use?

Please explain "GXE VENTILATOR ASSEMBLY FTW." I don't understand what you mean, but your install looks awesome and I'd like to make mine look that good!

 

some say its crappy quality but I'm satisfied, the color match is exact and thats all that matters. Its not like it pops off when I drive or anything

cut the middle out, and shaved the top off a little with a kitchen knife because the screen would sometimes get stuck closing/opening on the top part.
Very nice and perfect fit other than that, no gaps

 

what brand is that^^?

 

scosche...

Will the CQ-VD6503U work with a Bose/Non-Nav Stereo setup? Crutchfield does not have it on the compatible list.

 

because its not a direct swap...pretty much any unit can be installed...you just need the mounting brackets/kit and knowledge

 

the only problem with this one is that it leaves a gap .

 

is that a Scosche??? like this one ?http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Scosc...spagenameZWDVW

 

Is there any degradation in sound since OEM is the Bose unit? Any concerns (subwoofer won't work)?

burnurass,

Any tips/install instructions/parts? Looks like you used the:

What navigation system is this?

 

The navigation system pictures is the ECLIPSE AVN6600.
it's a double din headunit and you reuse all your stock brackets.

Install tips/instructions....
Pretty much pull out the top vents on your car (it's a little stiff).

If you're asking for instructions for installing the radio...
Then you need to open your coin tray and take out the tray. There's a screw behind that...take that out.

pop off the trim around the shifter and disconnect the connectors for the cig. lighter and hazard switch

you'll see two screws near the bottom of the radio and two at the top...take those 4 out and the radio will be free.

Take out all the screws from the radio to take it off the bracket.

For your new headunit..you just line it up with the holes and mount them...

There's a write up if you search though...I just went over it real quickly.

 

Thanks burnurass.

Do your steering wheel buttons plug and play with the unit? Any wire tapping needed?

 

Hey Does Anyone Know If You Can But A Oem Navigation System From A '02-'03 Maxim In One That Didnt Come With One Standard

 

burnurass,

I could not find the install after searching AVN-6600, AVN6600, AVN5435, AVN5500, etc. Could you post the link?

 

waste of money

the OEM unit is expensive and CD based (slow)

after market are cheaper and either DVD or HD based

 

I HAVE AN AFTER MARKET PIONEER AVIC N3. YOUR RIGHT BESIDES WITH THE OEM I DONT THINK YOU CAN PLAY D.V.D MOVIES AND STILL GET DIRECTIONS. THANKS, HOW CAN YOU GET YOUR STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS TO PLAY WITH THE AFTERMARKET, I READ THE THREAD BUT I COULDNT FIND A SITE FOR THE PART I NEED TO MAKE IT WORK.
THANKS

 

you need an adapter called the PAC SWI (Steering wheel interface) adapter....Generally the actual device most buy is the PAC SWI X...which uses a wireless signal to transmit back and fourth...picture a device connected to the back of your headunit, where the aftermarket control switch would normally go....and then the stock harness for your steering wheel controls is connected to the other side......i bought the PAC SWI PS...which is made for Sony and PIONEER HU's....(Hence the PS) i bought that one because the touchscreen double din headunit i want to get next is going to be made by pioneer...but take a look at the link below.....CRUTCHFIELD ALSO SELLS THE PAC adapters, if your skeptical of buying from ebay or something...BUT BELIEVE THEY OVER CHARGE

P.S i bought mine off ebay....but PAC will not honor the warranty if something happens and needs to be send back to them..but hey, the hell with it, ill just buy another

 

Cool Thanks For Ur Help

 

actually for the ECLIPSE you need the SWI-ECL

 

So, what parts do I need to do this?

SWI-ECL
AVN-5500 kit(GPS antennae, DVD, etc)
2000-2003 Maxima Center Console Ventilator Assembly
Various Tools

Is that it? Is there a harness to go from the Bose speakers to the new unit? Do I need to splice any wires (speed sensor)?

 

here is a pic of my anv5435

 

Did you add some black trim-like plastic to the top or bottom of your dash kit to make it fit so well? It looks OEM

 

Is the speed pulse wire found behind the stereo on the 2002, or do I have to get behind the guage cluster?

 

no its behind the instument cluster-pink/Blue wire- brown plug in the center (speed pulse wire)

 

yes i did... its at the bottom if u look closley... just drilled some holes to move it up a lil bit then got a peice of subwoofer box wood cut it out to fit into the radio bracket and hit it with a quick shot of flat black n put it back together and theres the finish product...

 

very interesting thread, does anybody have pics of a Pioneer AVIC-Z1 or Z2? im really wanting to get my hands on one of those units!

 

Here's the Kenwood DNX7100
