I35's with aftermarket Head Units, Show me what you got!
 

Well,
I'm really not happy with my OEM BOSE unit and would like to know what options I have.
If you have an aftermarket head unit in your i35 please post a pic and of course tell me how you like it.
Thanks!

1. WTF? you have 2 hazard switches?
2. Center console look alike 5.5 gen
3. Those seats alike I30/ 5th gen. Haven't they changed the shape of seats in I35 like they did with 5th gen -> 5.5 gen

1. Overseas Cefiro piece has hazard switch there. Non-functioning.
2. See answer 1.
3. Same shape, though they were changed to Italian Sojourner leather for the I35.

Where did you get the Cefiro kit and how much was it??

Hey where did you find the sleeve for the double din deck? I have been lookin gall over for this

Should we assume the steering wheel controls do not work with this unit?

My steering wheel controls work. Research PAC SWI-X.

Hey Metaorbit I'm so jealous! Killer looking interior man! Mad props!

here is minehttp://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...8/DSC06125.jpg

META why dondt u re wire the light... i think the i30 has that setup for the 00 or is it hte max... but one of them does im shure of htat ive seen it.. then replace with teh 00 i30 lower section of hte console...

thats if the 2 hazard lights bother u

It doesn't bother me at all, actually.

Allenz, did you have to fabricate that piece to perfectly fit the head unit like that? It looks awesome.

Yes, I made the whole thing and it was a pain in the ***. So what I would like to do is get one like meta has but take out the hazard switch, fill in the whole, and then paint it to match the dash like my current one (and cover up that horrible wood). Meta, were did you get that kit you have there?

yo, where did u get this peace to go around the Double-Din, I'm wondering cause I have the same Eclipse unit and the rig these people did on my radio drives me crazy. I was looking for a more "stock" look. Oh, i just read something u posted. You had to take out your hazard light switch to do that?

Hey guys! I'm liking that Eclipse Unit, can you give me the model number so I can look into it?
Thanks
Also, it really sucks that when I go to circuitcity or bestbuy websites and try to find something to fit my car I find NOTHING!
Nothing seems to fit my car ... :(

boh of guys setup is really clean. how much was that unit

By the way, I just wanted to give a little credit where credit is due. Thanks to Sycefiro for coming though with the A33 dash kit for me that Meta has. He was totally cool and I received the dash kit before I even knew it. A totally trust worthy seller on the Org. and highly recommended. Thanks Sycefiro.

I would like one too. Where can I get a hold of him?

So how many pieces you actually need to get that look Meta?
The piece with the hazard light in the middle and then the piece that goes around the unit, am I right?
How much they selling these 2 pieces for?

It's just one piece. It includes the vents and hazard light button. It fits around the head unit and replaces the existing vents.

You can run 1 din, 2 din, etc.

Awesome!! I just e-mailed sycefiro to see if he can hook me up.
What kind of head unit you have? is that a eclipse unit? How you like it?

I just replied you.. and didn't know what kind of car you have. If you have I35 as shown in your signature photo, you are in luck. I think I have one avaialble for I35 on hand. Email me back

It's a Kenwood DDX7015. It's pretty cool, but if I could buy a double din HU now I'd probably get something else. When I bought mine there were only like 3 on the market in the US at the time.

If I had to go it over again I'd probably get either an Eclipse AVN, Pioneer AVIC-D2 or Z1, or Alpine IVA-W200.

Best advice I can offer though is to read up and play with as many of them as you possibly can. Each one has its own stupid little quirk. Try to read user reviews on Forums (any) as they're tons better and provide a lot more insight than product descriptions.

Any news on that spoiler we talked about forever ago?

which one should I get? ahhhhh!:bawling:

whoa that looks great!..

Hey sy, would you happen to have a piece for us navi equip guys. I would love to replace my stock radio for a flip out screen or just a regular 1 din size HU with a screen on it.

Anyone happen to know where Allenz got that kit from or is it just Custom Made? I'm looking for an I35 03' kit single din. Any help would be much appreciated for a newb.

Try reading the thread? :gotme:

My bad... Oversight on my part. Looks pretty good though.
:nervous:

Does Anyone Were I Can Get One Of Those Dash Kits For A 6.5" Monitor

Are you talking about the Double Din Dash Kit? If so, email me?
If you are talking about the pop up kit on top? I can also look into that.

So all anybody has to do is email you to talk?

Incredible how my emails never get answered :gotme:

this unit is the AVN5424
I believe Eclipse already has newer tho
also look into the Pioneer Avic Z1, its nice

Where did u get this dash kit, or did u make it??

I just had this installed. This kit was made from the plastic face from the OEM radio. I removed the old radio and unscrewed the flont plastic face. All the holes were filled in with duraglass and then sanded smooth then cut outs for the radio and EQ. I am pleased with the way it came out.
