I just bought an IVA-W505 and my friend is installing it tomorrow, problem is...internet sites say it wont fit in my car? Are 00' Maxima's Double DIN Compatible? Im hoping There is a way to get this thing in my car.

Help Please

 

Should fit, might have to cut some **** out behind the HU.

 

Went to get it installed today, modded the kit did some cutting and what not, had the unit in. Tested it out and I'm pretty sure I got a dead unit. When my car was on it would recognize my ipod and the ipod would say alpine on it, but the unit would not light up, display or anything. No fan was on, but it was charging my iPod. .

just my luck that it wouldnt work...any suggestions?

 

did you buy it authorized?

make certain all the proper wires are powered up.

 

check your wires...i had something similar when i did the 205 in mine, but everything's workin great now

 

Thanks, I'll give it a shot.

If there is a problem, I have to send it to my seller, they hook it up, test it, then send it to alpine to do further tests and what not, so I could be without the unit for a while

 

most common mistake is wiring power antenna instead of remote wire...i'm guilty of that one, was too anxious to get it workin and had to troubleshoot for almost an hour to realize my mistake...hope you get it workin!

 

No dice . Sent it in on warranty, I hope alpine is speedy.

 

Doesnt seem to be Alpine that 'needs to be speedy'. Perhaps you will learn from mistakes and buy authorized next time?

 

Theres a reason I bit the bullet and bought mine from crutchfield.....

I'm not spending close to 1k unless Mr. Alpine is behind the product.

 

Working for a dealer for alpine, I have to say that Alpine is 100% behind their products. We haven't had 1 single warranty claim get rejected, even those subs that get over-driven by people that don't understand what they're doin.
