The Soundgate AUXNISSv2 from www.discountcarstereo.com will be used to manage the DVD audio in the HU

Now i have to figure out where to drill the holes for the front/rear backup sensors and front/rear camera.

P.S. i just install the 3000K D2S xenon bulbs, they look great! rich nice yellow color output.

I'm planning on adding a camera up front too to give me something to watch on the second monitor while driving other than DVD movie re-runs!

There's plenty of room to pass through cables on the passenger side behind the battery. You have to remove the battery trim piece but once you do you can look down into the gap behind the battery and see that area pretty well. I try to avoid the driver's side as there's enough factory wires there with the BCM module and fuse boxes to make it a mess.

you can take the reverse lamp wires to activate it when you engage the reverse, however i will take another route

Right now i have the center console off to install the screen and the AUXNISSv2, i choose the FARENHEIT T-7000MHR TFT LCD since it look like OEM, props to this thread:

i check several spots of the grill, but in the end the best bet was the area below the nissan decal, since the grill suck too much air/bugs and bugs mean dirty lense

pics of the center console ready to the Farenheit T-7000MHR

umzzz: all what i need is a output video wire, pretty easy and a microphone near to the exhaust

anyway heres the update:

Leds Backup Sensor display








there is no room inside the mirror to install this display :sad: but this don`t look that bad...

The display show the distance from 0 to 1.3 meters and you can see in bars (green to red) wich is the closer side Left or Right

does the unit beep also when you're close to an object? and, if so, can you turn off the beeping? how accurate are the backup sensors?

that display unit looks like it fits perfect on top of the mirror... can you see it from outside the car?

Soundgate AUXNISSv2


HOW IT WORK

1) Turn on the radio and select the CD6 Input


2) Press the CD6 once again and the display will show


3) afther a few seconds (2 or 3) the display change to

And the audio input is ready

To change to the CD6 CDs just press once the CD6 function and the last CD played will return to sound

Also i upgrade the Video switch for this one, Get the idea from the LR3 and the BMW i-drive :P


Still wating for the damn DVD player...

Great customization!

Is there a way you can only get and install the rear parking sensors, without the cameras or a screen?

If so, where can I buy them, and what do I need to buy?
