tracking shows it coming today .. they had an issue with shiping it .. they had an order of these at the warehouse with some problems (mishandling getting to them) i guess so they waited until the next order came in to insure that my unit wasnt man handled ... lol that sounded wrong.. i'll install it when i get home if its on my step

I can't find a xKv anywhere. xav maybe?

TinyGiant · 11-06-2008, 01:39 AM

i have it all installed.. having some engine interference with the radio.. gotta look into that.. but other than that the system looks great.

good:
easy to operate, great colors, great display, very touch responsive,

bad:
lack of audio options
remote battery might be dead or just has a horrible response time

getting some sound interference when the car antenna is plugged in.

lack of install instructions

pics?

TinyGiant · 11-06-2008, 09:06 PM

i have some tweaking to do to the dash trim so that i can mount it flush. i'll might play with that tonight.. i'll take a picture tonight with it in but no dash trim.

i fixed the static issue. it was a bad ground .. works nice and clean now.. sounds 100% better.

i'll probably keep it :)

TinyGiant · 11-06-2008, 11:09 PM

uploaded pictures to the first post.. first person to guess right the movie i showed on the pics will get a free Yaris world Sleeveless :)

TinyGiant · 11-06-2008, 11:11 PM

i'll fabricate a block out trim ring to block the gap on thesides. should be easy enough :)

custom Lftback · 11-06-2008, 11:34 PM

pm me your address.. lol good guess.

the only time i'll hear a supped up engine from the interior of my yaris lol

PaidTimeOff · 11-07-2008, 02:07 PM

so does it have nav like you were hoping it would?

TinyGiant · 11-07-2008, 02:14 PM

it has a spot for a gps antenna .. i gotta locate the antenna.. and i think it will work if i get it it should work ..

if my phone had ad2p blue tooth i could dial numbers on the screen and talk to the screen rather than the phone.. they sell a tv antenna for it too and i can tune in local tv stations with it :)

TinyGiant · 11-07-2008, 02:18 PM

tonight i'll see if it works with divx.. if so i'll put my collection on a slim portable hdd and have about 130 movies on demand :)

it has a usb port for hard drive or flashy drive usage :)

TinyGiant · 11-19-2008, 02:52 PM

Made a Nice Trim Ring for it last night .. and did the color highlight to the dash just a few min ago!

TinyGiant · 11-19-2008, 02:52 PM

and it does play divx :)

wsladaritz · 11-20-2008, 06:54 PM

That's a pretty sweet deal. The ipod control, does it load pretty fast? Is it easy to control? How many pre-outs does it have? What don't u like about, the cons?

TinyGiant · 11-20-2008, 08:41 PM

ipod control is super fast. the only down fall of it is that it doesnt charge the ipod when its connected...

has sub pre outs bunch of bells a whistles

what i didnt like at first was the lack of audio options.. but the sound is good so it doesnt really matter much.

overall i like it :)

GPS isnt installed on this unit but you could probably find one that has it.

it has ad2p blue tooth too .. has ful phone control. but i dont have aad2p phone to try it out with .

pretty neat.. plays divx too .. which is sweet i have a ton of them on cd.. that i plan to put on a slim usb hdd and keep in the car to have like 150 movies on hand in the car at all times :) also has 2 video outs as well

wsladaritz · 11-21-2008, 06:30 PM

It won't play movies while ur driving will it? If it doesn't, do you know how to get around that? I know people have gotten around that on other units. Would you recommend this unit to someone else??.... like me? lol, you make it sound like a pretty good deal. And I've been wanting a double din touch screen so bad! Just can't afford to spend $500 + on something. I'm almost done convincing myself to buy this one off ebay that you got ;P
