setting up my ipod so the new unite.

 

Any smart harness (bestbuy etc) should work fine for your power sources, ground, and speaker wiring. You'll still need to wire up your E-Brake separately and depending on the unit, find a place to mount the brain. There won't be any PNP harnesses so you'll have to get the adapter for the car and solder/crimp each previously mentioned wire like most other headunits. Beyond that, it all depends if you are using other aux inputs or specialty devices like bluetooth, iPod, or video screens.

 

im rockign teh AVH-3100 right now and i like it

 

I also have the 3100 and i love it so far

 

Just finished in stalling it, was not hard and the only issue i had was with the door, but i was able to adjust the screws on the stock brackets for the door to work correctly. only thing is i wish i could get the door working better, it like to stick some times.

 

"hey, look at this snowman over here..." lolz that movie...

 

i lol'ed too when i played it.

I love this unit, by the frak'in door. so I'm getting parts to together so the door will be automatic.

 

i just found http://www.tcover.net/index.html in my search for automating my radio door.

 

That's neat but too fancy for me. One more rattle or squeak for me to chase down lol. I do like the concept though.

 

personally i feel the same, but i'm working on fixing that sticky door issues, i cleaned it and adjusted a few things.

 

Anyone else get a horridly high pitched squeak coming from the waterfall/HVAC area when going over rough pavement? It's sooo faint but seriously obnoxious.

 

i would check the screws in the back, i found that by lossening the scew that controls the locking for the radio door helped keep the door from sticking as much. i would just torque the HVAC and maybe the screws holding the door in place.

 

I've had all of it apart before when doing my LED swap but it happened both before and after. It sounds like two hard plastic pieces lightly grinding each other away but it's almost "dog whistle" high pitch.

 

sound like a time for super glue.

i would super glued the two door parts together.

 

^ I was thinking about throwing strip caulk in there one of these days.

 

can't tell from the pic but if you dont have the side pieces, you should definitely get them to cover the horrendous gaps on the sides. Makes it a cleaner looking install. As far as your radio door cover, did you drill new holes into the brackets or did you just mount them to the holes that were holding the factory radio? Makes a huge difference.

 

i plan on getting the dash kit on the next pay check, 430.00 is a lot and leave me eating ramen until payday .

I need to drill out the brackets, but i plan taking pictures and stuff (need to drill & bits first).

 

lol yah ramen noodles is one the best budget meals ever.
