PS2 is for my GF. seriously..

I know I can't play PS2 while I'm driving, but I have two more RGB input left for LCD besides NAV unit, and there was PS2 I haven't played for 3 months or so... Why not? I just hooked it up for SHOW Purpose
On the highway, I watch DVD movie or DVD music video.
Pretty neat.

Pix of the Nav unit. You can close the mini-door.

I found every Alpine Nav unit can fit in there without a problem.

So if you got a Sony CD Changer that plays MP3 CDs, you cannot control with the Japan Sony head unit?

And could you PM me the installer contact? I would like to learn more about the custom dash unit.

Thanks,

Matt

Since the HU is the latest HU from Sony, it can control any kind CD/MP3/MD changer made by SONY. You know what? I just bought(today) Sony CDX-65, 10 cd changer, it works great. It was made in 1994 I paid US$50 for the changer I saw somebody else playing with 10 CD/MP3 changer while ago. So, again, no problem.

I left my stereo shop business card in my GF house so, as soon as i get it back. I'll PM ya.

Wow, that looks great!

Do you mind if I ask what product(s) you use to detail your interior? I like the understated 'glisten' you've got in there. Thanks!

Gary

Default Whoaaaaa

What a clean, great looking install. That HU looks amazing... If I change from factory that looks like a good unit. I'd like some more info about the NAV system. Been looking for something but they're all in the $1500-2000 range. A bit steep since I just dumped $$$$$ fro my setup...

I notice on one of your posts, you say that you watch dvd's on it?
The HU does not play dvd's, unless if iam wrong. So how are you doing this?
I must say though, your setup is hella phat!!!!

Sorry for late reply.

To amai21
PS2 has built-in DVD play function. It's a game console though

To alphared
I don't exactly know what the NAV dimensions are.. but as u can see from my pics, it fits small glove-compartment perfectly without serous modification.

To GaryM05
I just use 'WATER' to clean the interior of my Z.

Default Took the words right out of my mouth.

..."Look as stock as possible with aftermarket products " That what I have been looking for on this site for a while. That HU is made for this car. Great job, can't say enough good things about that install. I am getting mine(Z)in the spring and that is the unit I am going with, plain and simple. I do not care how much it takes to get that installed. I will probably just go with the HU,NAV and change the PS2 for a DVD. I just hope I can find a shop that with do such good work, especially the trim around the HU in the dash, top notch work. Congrats

Default Focals...

How is the fit/sound of the Focals? I'm looking at getting a set of the 165K's. Are they worth the money?

Mike

Hold your breath, guys.
Everything is supposed to finish tommorow and I'll post more pics tommorows evening.
I saw how the custom sub-inclosure fits in the trunk today morning and I can say... only 2 words.

Simply incredible

The deck is a dual CD&MD player and the how-to-use is pretty intuitive.

As 'phreezee' metioned, Focal speakers are definately worth every penny. Focal spkers are one of the best component spker sets you can get in the market IMO.

Default Can this head unit to XM Radio?

Toronto350z:

If you look at the product description for Sony's XM radio module, it says it only needs a sony head unit that is Unilink compatible and has CD changer controls.

Am I assuming correctly that means I can use XM radio with this head unit (without the aid of a stupid FM modulator)?

Also, would you happen to know if there is a limit to the amount of changers attached to the head unit (i'm thinking XM, CD, MD, etc...)

Thanks in advance for answering...
