Is Streeteffectz a local place or do they have an online storefront?
I checked Streeteffectz .com but it seems to be under construction.
I like that faceplate for the double din and want to order it.

That's nice. I'd like mine to look exactly like that....but better! hahaha. Naw, that one is about what I'm hoping for. Upper tray, flushness and all.
Hoping the Alpine can get the same treatment.

GreeneggsandHam- Damn, who made that? I need a flippin kit! I want mine to leave the upper pocket though. To me, that looks a bit more factory. I love that yours is completely flush though! You do it or a shop?

The frist Wallpaper is from I-Personalize, the rest are from another website where a guy figured out how to create his own wall papers from jpeg files. What you do is first create a i-personalize account and then down load the wall papaers, they will be .apn files. Then you have to burn the files to a CDR, even though the w200 is a dvd player for the wallpapers it has to be on a CDR disk. Also the radio will only see 10 files perdisk. Now in order to access the i-personalize menu's you have to unlock them via the foot brake, parking brake sequence. Hold the foot brake, then enguage the parking brake, now continue to hold the foot brake, and disenguage the parking brake, still holding the foot brake, enguage the parking brake, still holding the foot brake disenguage the parking brake, still holding the foot brake enguage the parking brake once more, then release the foot brake leaving the parking brake enguage you should now be able to access the setup menus. Once you hit setup you will see the i-personalize option if you did the brake thing right. Then just pop in your background cd you made and it should take you right to the download screen, select which background you want via the left side up and down arrows then hit the memory button on the lower right and it should down load the file and that's pretty much it. I'm not sure on the brake sequence, check you user manuel to be sure.

Built a carputer a year ago. I did all the fab work and yes I know it sucks but hell I have a 100gb MP3 player/video player/dvd player/cd burner/GPS/Ipod Ready product. If I ever get around to redoing it...maybe this week I will update pics.

Thats what i was worried about too. That's why i would like it ISO Mounted, this way they would have to pull the whole dash apart to get it, and i'll be installing a viper 791 so hopefully it will give me some time. I've also come to the reality that if a good theif wants your stuff, he's going to get it. I try to keep all receipts for any thing extra i install so this way when it comes time to talk to the insurance adjuster i got proof of all my stuff. When i lived in NY my car was broken in to about 3 times, and it's frustrating once you get your car just the way you want it and have to start all over. Best defense in my opinion is a garage, or prehaps a mine field.

Will insurance always cover the stereo and such if you have receipts? I've heard of some saying aftermarket stuff wasn't covered. I have geico but dunno. I've always lowered my music when I get close to home or someplace I'm staying. Even with just my old stock headunit.
With my IVA-W200 I'll end up shutting it off as I get home. I also usually take different routes home sometimes just to shake things up. The flush W200 looks nice. I'm pretty sure my installer just sucks but he told me that with the navi in the car that they couldn't fit the w200 flush. Which I think is bs.
I sent my installer some pics of the flush w200's from this site as they are redoing my dash because they freaking tried to tell me my car was done, and when I went to pick it up the dash kit ws cracked in the corner and glue was all over the place.

When i lived in NY i had NY mutual insurance, when my car was broken in to the claims rep said they don't cover radios, but when the adjuster came and i showed receipts for every thing, not only did they cover my radio they also covered my subs and amps. I need to call my insurance company tomorrow and make sure my stuff will be covered as well, policys differ depending on which insurance company you have, wouldn't hurt to call and make sure everything is covered.

Yeah I called Geico already. If I spent 4500-5000 my insurance would go up 120 dollars a year. ATM I wish everything would get stolen because I've had nothing but a headache with this install. Maybe I'd get a good night sleep. Afterall they have had my car a week and a day now.
1. Cracked kit, globs of glue. They fixed it and it's decent now but they never should have shown me the car in that condition
2. Air conditioning controls didn't work lastnight when I picked up the car
3. Insane amount of Engine noise and the salesman tells me that having some engine noise is normal because I'm using amplifiers. He must think I was born yesterday.
4. The moulding where they put the sirus antenna is lifting up.
All in all never go to Sound Trax Soundtrax in Centereach, NY they just do the most lousy job and don't make you feel comfortable at all.

Avenue Sound is pretty good. They have a few stores. Freeport, Patchogue, and i think babylon. They installed my Alarm on my old car and they did a good job. There's always streetefxs right over the bridge in NJ if your willing to take the drive.
