Default New Eclipse AVN 5435 Install report

Thank you My350z.COM. I would never of attempted this install with out the knowledge that was acquired on this site.

The install took about 2.5 hours, did most of the work on my kitchen table. All the functions of the HU operate perfect! Minus having to pull the parking brake to play DVDs, : )

i have this HU on the G35...very nice, although I would like more background pics..also the resolution could be better. However, you can't beat having dvd/nav in 1 unit

I think you can get around the parking brake issue but grounding the wire to something else..

Very nice! I have the AVX2494 and I know my installer grounded the system at the parking brake which allows playing DVD's while on the move. If anyone is looking into a system and doesn't need NAV, the AVX2494 will play CD/DVD/MP3/Memory Stick plus 20GB HDD "Music Juke".

I noticed the avn5435 does not have an outer trim ring. Does the metra z kit have a trim for it or did you guys make your own.

Thanks guys, the retail is 1,699 for the 5435, but there are better deal out there, much better!

I used the metra DDin trim ring and spacers.


Hey Mike,

I actually did alter the standard install by grounding the parking brake wire from the HU.

night shot,
