I like MD, plus I like to have all media connected. I enjoy car audio!

 

Looks nice

 

what mounting kit did u use? or do u need 1? im looking to order the 5435 tonight and i will most likly install myself. what moutning kits is everyone using on these double di screens?

 

All you need is the Double din trim ring and two spacers from the Metra kit.

 

I hear ya! Everytime another box shows up at the house, my wife's like....what else could you possibly fit in that car???

 

Here are some pics of my install...what do ya think? If you are in the So Cal area let me know and I can tell you where I had it done.

 

doe the eclipse have an IPOD interface where i can controll the ipod through my HU... if not would i have to connect it to my AUDIO IN. and controll through the ipod?

 

you would have to use the audio in and control it with your ipod

 

I emailed Eclipse, they have an aux connector but it is for their cd unit. They recommended using the periphal connection. Here is what they said:


Thank you for contacting Eclipse

Hi Randy,
There is a peripheral device that goes through the changer port. It does not display artist and title but you can control tracks and it does charge the unit. part # pxdp and pxhec1.

thanx guys

 

How did you get that big a$$ in that double din space?

 

http://www.eclipse-web.com/cable/index.html
this is the only thing i seen on their website
i think this might work but it depends on the connection on the back of the 5435

 

No it won't work. That was the reason why I contacted Eclipse inquiring about the cable. I would contact them, see if they tell you differently. I ran into this when I ordered the 5495. My dealer contacted their rep about if the 5495 would be able to do Sirius later on (A seperate tuner or software) they said no-not ever. Then I called Eclipse and was told that they would have a software update in November. So I said screw it and went with the 5435.

 

i ordered the 5435 and ther sirius tner, but id also like to hook up my ipod to it.. i couldnd fine those 2 prt numbers u posted, newhere on the web. So i might just use my audio in and 2 rca plugs like i have it hooked up to my home theater system

 

or get the Eclipse cable and try it

 

which eclipse cable? the part number u posted? i couldnt find them when i looked

 

no the one on their website. The one in the above is from periphial I think.

 

rplink- the metra kit. i just picked one up the double din trim has a seperation piece attacthed. i am goin to ahve to cut that out? what did u use.. a little saw?

sorry if its a dumb question i was just looking at i fdidnt get the HU in yet should be here friday, i jutst want it to look at as professional as possible

 

Not a dumb question at all. I had to do the same thing. The middle splitter can easily be removed with a razor blade or Exacto knife. Once you get the cut started it cuts easily.

 

thanx
