finished......... at bloody last

[sparky370z]

i have finally fitted my Alpine iva 202r HU. i was gonna put cable in for the speakers and put new speakers in ect but i couldnt be bothered

 

i have fitted every thing but the ipod lead. but that is very easy to fit.

 

i used the guides on here to fit everything.

 

 

here it is fitted.

 

 

and the camera on the back.

 

 

the bloody ISO loom didnt have a "parking brake" connection and i didnt realise. so i have to pull it all out again and adapter the loom. what a PITA!!!!

 

but it looks and sound great. well happy.

if the parking brake function is just to allow the DVD player to work you can just ground it.

[sparky370z]

yeah thats what i did. just run a cable to the chassis. it also stops you going into the settings as well. i did think that there didnt seem like many options u could change. DOH!!

[Husky]

and means your passenger can watch DVD's on the move

Oooooo. does that mean I can snip something on my Lancers system so it'll play DVD's while I'm driving??

 

I can feel a 'fail' coming on

 

Looks smooth mate.

wish i have the skill...

[sparky370z]

the only hard part was running the cables to the back of the car.

 

but i can watch DVD's on the go now!! LOL

TBH, its quite easy. just gotta be brave. there was some soldering involved but u could use scotch locks. the hardest bit was trying to find a home for all the cables. VERY tight.

The last time i tampered with the BOSE headunit (ipod hack ), i blew the BCM

agreed, its a pain to squish them in and get the white box back in after on mine im going to remove all the adapters and make a custom loom. having fitted 4 ICE installs i cba with trying to squish another one in

I can't see why anyone would want to watch DVD while they are driving

 

Looking good

 

Sounds good too I bet...

 

If you think it sounds good now though think about changing the amp + speakers

well that will be another day i think. i might do some research and get some ideas of what is needed. i really dont want to replace the cable tho. although i know i should.
