sorry for the size but "photo-fuck-it.com"i is messing all my pics up when i upload. sorry for being so big....anyways i had my boy install it but he legally couldnt ground the brake (works at a shop). I just grounded it to the screw hole on the metal frame...lol.... easy and works awesome!!! THIS IS A MUST HAVE!!!




















This is the "DAY TIME" Navi screen....


.... and this is the "NIGHT TIME" Navi screen!!! easy on the eyes!!! how cool is that shit!


not the greatest pic but i wanted to show how it looks with the LED blue gauges and the rest of the car at night.... sweet huh?

... well opinions guys and gals????

 

looking good..

 

thanks kam.

 

Looks real nice man, how much did it run?

 

how much?

 

how much/where?

 

can i do that 2 my 06 acura tl / i live in chicago if u live here u can install it ill pay

 

i doubt it will fit third gen unless a custom bracket is made for it.. if you look at your radio knobs they are cut out on your silver trim...

 

it cost me 700 brand new on ebay! about 200 for the install. beats the 1700 (installed) my local auto audio shop sells this unit for! the manager actualy waited for me to come in cause hes never heard of anyone getting this installed out of no where. he said i paid less than he does for the unit!! HAHA! i hate buying crap like this on ebay cause who knows if it will work ....etc.... but i lucked out. it def works and eclipse honored my 3 yr warranty cause an eclipse certified dealer put it in. THE MANAGER MADE SURE OF IT BEFORE I LEFT ill tell you this.... the navi has no flaws AT ALL! it super on point! i think this looks awesome in our first gens!

 

$700 ?!?

Wow.. perhaps I'll get one myself

And yes, that is a very clean look

 

Damn, for only $900, I could switch out the carputer for it, and use the carputer in the garage...

 

that does look cool awesome.... btw how come your dials are lit up with blue lights, your sig says 98 TL but you have a first gen in your avatar.

I have a first gen too but mine are white lights and boring.

 

1st gen TL's are from 1996 to 1998.

 

do a search for the blue led gauge mod. its been discussed prolly 10000 times. mostly by me asking prolly! haha! i think the green buttons on my unit with the blue wallpaper on the navi and the gauges is awesome!

 

damn, eclipse toys aint no joke. keep up the good work!

 

def not!! there awesome man! one thing i coyuld do without is always having to press "except" when starting the navi after starting the car. its a splash screen stating not to drive stupid with the navi. makes sense but it is the only thing i could do without. not that big of a deal tho!

 

I know what you mean my new Pioneer has the same scren, its a sacrafic we are willing to make to have great systems!

 

where is the slot to insert cds for music?
Looks great.

 

its motorized fold down. ill take the pic of it later

 

you press open on the units side bottons and this pops up....


...then it opens like this!!!


HOTNESS!!!! 2 seperate drives. one for cd's and the other for the navi dvd or video dvd. and yes... you can listen to music and navi at the same time!!!!

 

damn that thing looks so damn nice. Can you post a picture with the dvd playing?

 

But wait, dont remove your carputer just yet.
You can add a GPS antenna module to your PC.
Then use a Map software that supports GPS, and you too can have a GPS nav along with custom interface softwares for all your multimedias.

I like how the nav looks. However, I still think a carputer is more powerful.

 

Looks sweet in your TL.

 

yeah that sound hot. good idea!

 

im at work till 5pm est so ill take one after i navi my ass home (ive been setting it to go everywhere just cause i can!!! HAHA!) and i only live 0.2 miles from my work!! lol! i actually played the dvd for the first time yesterday. works great! awesome picture and NO GLARE AT ALL! no clue how they pulled that off but i put a anti glare screen protector on it too so maybe that helps. anyways... yeah... ill take one for ya

 

I have GPS with it, and DVD through the carputer and the headunit too, this just looks like a very clean easy option for a similar price. I'm actually sort of bored of the carputer, I enjoyed building it and mounting it the most, but I don't really use it for anything more than music, just sometimes movies or navi

 

well... i made a backup of my dvd and it works (dont worry mods... i asked eclipse when i called for warranty info and they said for personal use its all good) but ima try to find the NAG SCREEN file that tells you to press EXCEPT and just take it out. i have no clue how ima do this so help if yall can! and if this anyway is against forum rules just delete this post for me and i apoligize but as i said, i made sure it was cool to do.

 

^ did you need a dual layer disc to burn it onto? when i ripped my navi disc it was liek 10 gbs or something.

 

sure did! 17.99 for 3 of them at staples! lot cheaper than 320.00 for a replacement disc tho!

 

Here is my cheap set-up with a level meter.

 

looks good but after seeing this navi in.... im never doing anything else!

 

Yeah, I know....I want a navi too but a good one costs $3500.00 ! I'd rather buy a car with that price tag!

 

fixed

also what sucks is the screen isn't a detatchable, or is the eclipse model a detatchable??

 

nope it does not detach. i live in a city of about 30,000 where everyone knows everyone and i got the rep of being someone who will murder you if you harm my shit so im all good. anything can happen tho. thats where the CD KEY STICKER on the window stating unit is useless if power is cut without the key and the 3 year warranty which also works on stolen items

 

the problem is that the common mentality of thieves is smash and grab first, think later.... also, I'm sure the eclipse warranty wouldn't cover the replacement of my torn up dash and broken door lock/window.


awesome setup though.... pimp status.

 

good point.... 4 to the back while there running will make me feel better about it tho

 

i tried to get some ok DVD pics but it my camera isnt the best i guess cause they looked like shit. what i can tell you is that the dvd is awesome looking. now only if i could find the hack to get rid of the "nag screen"

 

^ im working on this one too the files are written with kiwi, similar to some of the toyota/lexus fujitsu navi's too.

http://kiwi-w.mapmaster.co.jp/index_eng.html

 

yep. im assuming the file that needs to be removed or patched is in the LOADING.KWI file. now all we need to do is decode the file or find a super PC tech to amke us a pach!

What is VTR?
