i'm slowly working on it, but i hope the end result will look good. had to do a lot of dremeling this morning....




any tips would be greatly appreciated. how would i go bout molding it? suggestions? epoxy? fiberlgass?

 

Nice!

What is it? Nav? DVD video? Both?

 

....that looks painful!!

 

no nav, but it's optional. it's the Kenwood DDX7015 does mp3s/dvds/wmas/vcd...blah blah

 

Nice.

what do you need molded???

 

i have the same unit installed in my TL-S

i kind wish the user interface was a bit better, but i love it.

only thing i cant figure out... when i'm playing a movie... everytime it goes to the next chapter, the unit displays the information on the top and the bottom of the screen and i cant figure out how to make it NOT do that

anyone got any input on this? and yes, i did read the instructions... but that didnt help.

 

oh and to accompany it... i got the kenwood KHD-CX910... the mp3 hard drive... it rocks!

 

doesn't it already play mp3s? jeebuss! LOL

 

gonna look awesome

 

yea, it plays mp3's... but with the KHD... i dont need to carry ANY cd's... all the music is stored on the KHD Cartridge

 

car_lost... You have the same unit in your car?

Can you post pics of your installation?

 

it doesn't fit quite "perfectly". the sides of the screen have about 1/4" or less gap that needs to be filled in, and i'm going to have to cut the top off a little bit more to make it fit perfectly...

that's why i need some bondo or something to make it look even better. don't worry, the color will match the interior metra kit is too black for our cars...doesn't look right. i took the metra kit and dremeled the crap out of it to get the double din to fit....not perfectly yet though

 

the ddx 7015 is good, i sold one this past monday to a couple with 2 kids, too bad they still crying after the install though, anyway i think is easier to just tracer the outline of the metra kit to a abs plastic and use the big trim ring to tracer the opening of the radio and just cut a sheet than cutting the metra kit. i will be easier now with a metra kit to do the outline, when i did mines metra kit is not available so it took me longer

 

thats the same unit that im gonna get. if anyone wants to volunteer to make a dash kit from fiberglass gimme a PM. cant wait to see the final product man

 

you are going to need a plastic weld type of kit to fill. bondo will prob crack on it. find a automotive type paint store. they sell plastic weld kits. its like bondo but for plastic. very sandable

oh and the metra kit is almost a exact match when wetsanded smooth to match the texture of the dash!

 

hey whats that wire comming up the right of the pic?!

 

thats the unit im lookin into getting where did u get it n how much did it run u

 

ebay... $920 shipped brand new.

 

i went on ebay its goin for over $1000 n also whats to security feature n how do u like it thanx

 

im in the process of putting in an 02 cd changer, so many things u gotta take apart just to get to the radio wow. looks cool , you guys dont mind losing the sub and the wheel controls? i kninda like those features

 

there's an aftermarket attachment for the wheel controls, the sub i could care less for because i already ditched it the first day i got the car i have 2 10" running already.

security features: just a passcode you create, if the battery gets detached, you'll have to enter it in, other than that i think that's it. as far as me liking it...it's not fully installed yet so i can't really say. heard good things about it, i just can't wait to get it all installed.

 

yea, i got it for $920 shipped about 2 months back... havent seen it that low since.

 

Get a wiring diagram, and rewire those 3 buttons to control the nitrous system. Bottle opener, warmer, and arm switch.

At least that's my plan. I don't know if that's doable or not, because I haven't seriously looked into it yet.

 

Does anyone else not like the dash kit trim look lol? Just cover up the non-matching black plastic



Good luck, looks good!
