^ Yep, eBay for mine. I swear the UPS tracking said it was in Anchorage yesterday. How'd it get thousands of miles in one day? Especially to South Jesus!

chrisj did yours have the harness for the rca outs? Looks like Dragracer didnt come with one.

I need this harness since mine will be connected to a 4 ch. amp.

Yeah, there was thing huge harness of RCA jacks with caps on each one (about 8 or so) that I will plug into the back. I also got a camera with mine, but the cord is short and I have no idea where I would put it.

The back of mine looks exactly like Toys. Lotsa wires, GPS antenna, and stuff with it.

In the top picture, the left connector is for steering wheel controls, which I don't have. The wires for that came too though.

chrisj · 10-13-2010, 03:13 PM

Just got mine installed. Factory fit and all the features that Toy showed before, so I won't bore you with them again.

I routed the iPod and USB cables into the bottom glove compartment until I figure out if I want to move them somewhere else. The GPS antenna still needs to be attached with 3M tape on the dash (ran that wire through the glove box also). I have the MicroSD of the GPS software that still has to be loaded as well. I like it.

Took about 15 minutes to do.

Some pictures below.

Wow.

Dragracer- that thing looks high quality. did you measure it and make SURE it's 200mm wide?

Also can you take shots of the back and is that all it came with? I don't see many cables? BACK SHOT OF UNIT PLEASE!! lol

Lastly, is there an item # or model # on it anywhere?

Thanks!

Shinare · 10-13-2010, 04:57 PM

That just looks soooo good. I'm salivating I want one so bad. Wish I could afford one right now but its on my short list of things I will be getting some day. Congrats on getting it installed and lookin' good!

PS> Is there the ability to hook up the little Aux port between the seats to this HU? Would be nice to still be able to use that if needed.

chrisj · 10-13-2010, 05:28 PM

^ Thanks. I'm sure there is a way to hook up the AUX because on the menu is a selection for AUX. There are TONS of wires coming out of the back that I didn't use.

chrisj · 10-13-2010, 06:10 PM

I am having extreme issues with the GPS part of mine. I have the chip and I stick it in the right MicroSD slot. Don't know why there is a right and left one. Anyway, how do I get the GPS software into the unit, or does the card have to stay in all the time? I was playing music on one of my MicroSD cards in the right slot, and that worked fine.

The left MicroSD slot says GPS under it, and the right one says DVD under that one. That manual is a joke, really. I go into setup and it says it cannot find the GPS software. Just wondering the procedure for using the GPS software.

sickpuppy1 · 10-13-2010, 06:11 PM

Dang I wish I could find one of these with HD radio........

chrisj · 10-13-2010, 06:32 PM

I got it. I have the GPS software in the left slot and my SD card in the right. It works.

sickpuppy1 · 10-13-2010, 07:29 PM

Do you need to leave the card in the slot or does it just load from that slot?

Dragracer · 10-13-2010, 09:27 PM

Mine is installed! What a freaking nightmare!

The basic install was not too bad. I had to slot the original mounting brackets as the radio set too far forward. Once I did that, the install was easy. I mounted the GPS antenna on the black plastic filler under the wipers. I already had the XM radio antenna mounted there. The GPS antenna is similar in size and shape, and both blend in very well. Photos are below.

The manual SUCKS! It took me forever to figure out how to pair my phone to the radio via blue tooth. Then the GPS came up in Chinese even though the language was set to English, and all other functions were in English. Finally figured out the GPS didn't know where to find the software. After programing in the sd card to the gps, all is well!

On mine there is a pink wire marked "park". This wire must be grounded to get a dvd to show up on the screen.

Here's where my XM antenna is mounted.

Here's the GPS antenna mounted there as well.

Here it is installed and running.

And here's a photo of the back of the unit.

I'm having a drink now!

Hi, i'm wondering how you mounted the GPS antennae under the wipers as id really like to do this but I've not really don't much in tinkering to cars! Did you have to drill a hole or 'grommet' somewhere to thread it through?? (I don't even really know what a grommet is!).

Also...does any one know if the pre-loaded GPS software is upgradeable? OP said he put different GPS maps on a bigger card - how do you get the maps?

cheers for any help guys,
Amanda

P.s. I'm about to go install the HD now yippeee

I don't know. I need to test that tomorrow (was getting dark on me). There are 2 slots, one on the left and one on the right. On the right one I have my music, videos, etc. The left one has the GPS software stick in it. If I have to leave it, I don't mind. It's not in the way.

hyprmiler · 10-15-2010, 10:14 PM

I have a 2008 and 2009 sedan, will this work for me? What parts do I need (silver plastics) to cover / go around the unit

chrisj · 10-14-2010, 12:24 AM

^ Good job, Dragracer! Looks good! I was a little skittish for a second, peeling that trim up and away, and I just KNEW it was never gonna go back on right, but it did. I am happy with mine too! :)
