NB Headunit/NAV/DVD thread

[Adam]

Please post pictures, brand, model, price, and links to your install if you documented it of your headunits or radio/DVD/Navi combos in your NB.

[Agent☣Orange]

Do you have your own example to start with?

:facepalm:

[Adam]

Well... no... My bad. haha Trying to add content.
Delete at will.

Not the greatest picture.... (I will add more when i get a chance. Actually a very nice setup, i like.)

But here's a Kenwood Excelon X994.

This drives a set of Clearwater components and takes a feed from the Sirius Sportster 5 you see. (Soon to be removed and Satellite controlled directly via headunit.)

No need to delete or add content. I like the topic. Just curious if you had a NAV (or raised truck as in your other thread). This should be a good thread.

[Adam]

Oh okay well thanks but no my cars completely stock.
And I meant adding content as in trying to help the forum get topics, resulting in more information to be had.

Also Concealer, thank you that's what I was lookin for.

[Agent☣Orange]

I have a feeling the forum is going to be just fine but we appreciate your candor. Post away.

How about in a '97 NA? These are pretty old pics, but although my interior has changed a lot the headunit is still the same. Kenwood DDX512 + Garmin/Kenwood nav module (Kenwood DNX5120 is the same but with built-in nav rather than module). I chose it because after playing with a few units at the local bigboxstore, I found that the Kenwood had the most intuitive (at least for me) menu and button layout. 1997s had true DIN opening, so install was pretty simple, albeit a very very tight fit.

It's been an awesome unit, but the GPS is starting to feel pretty dated. I'm really itching for a newer unit with more features (and faster processing power), but I really like the convenience of having it permanently installed there in the dash.

I'm using a Pioneer AVH-P6600DVD head unit that has been with me through quite a few cars since 2004. It's a champ and I haven't had one issue with it so I'll use it until it dies, and I'd probably try to repair it even then. I have my satellite radio and an AUX input for iPod/Android/Pandora access run through it so everything is controlled at the head unit.

Pioneer AVH-P4300DVD
No Bluetooth or Navigation (extras)
Nice 7 inch touchscreen

Great improvement in audio while still using the stock speakers thanks to the internal amplifier. Speakers will be upgraded later down the road.

I designated NBs because isn't the size of the din space different?

What do you mean? Mine had a double din from factory for what it's worth.

[Adam]

I could be wrong but I thought NAs had a smaller din, like 1.5 or something.

[jnshk]

89-96.5 had odd-sized openings. Late 96s and all 97s had proper double DIN openings.

Pioneer AVH 3200 w/the BlueTooth add-on

Not great pictures but it's not real different from other setups.

I'm loving these NAVs. OCD, you've probably said it before but what did you do to your steering wheel in the first pict. I see there's a cover on it but is it molded flat at the top?

[LOL]

Has anyone tried those cheap eBay double din units? I'm tempted to get one as a replacement for my MSSS

It was just a cover that had a set shape to it.

This thread needs more love!!

[Agent☣Orange]

I have a NAV in mine (will post a pict when I get home) but it's old and the screen isn't what I'd call high resolution like today's offerings. Just don't have $1500. I've actually been debating switching to a single din, fold out like Rotornut's. That way, I could get some gauges in there.

[Willywongka]

I've always loved the double din headunits, but the thought of the damned thieves always keep me away from them.

make a fake faceplate. Cheap to make and will deter all but the thieves that were determined to get into the car in the first place.

[bpmx3]

I know this is an old thread but really interested in the double din kit everyone is using especially ocd
