I was thinking the same thing however I'm almost positive that the assembly is one large piece so I would really need to see how I could fit it also maybe repositioning the ***** if possible to be inline from top to bottom not side to side

 

i didnt know that, let me know what you find out, i think im going to be taking a look at doing this soon

 

Hey everyone just as an update my now ex-girlfriend and I broke up so videos are on hold because my editing software is on her computer. So I can do mini videos with my phone and iMovie software on it but it's all I can do for now everyone. But I'll still try and make things happen cuz I don't want to let anyone down

 

Sorry to hear that man, good luck with everything

 

... what a trooper... "The show must go on..."

 

Damn sorry to hear that, if you're looking for any software let us know, maybe someone has a copy of something you can have/use etc

 

So here is the deal. I sold my self on a corner for a few nights and made some new friends and now have a new computer for editing all my videos lol . Can't let anyone down on here so they will continue!

 

^lol..

 

let me know where that corner is, i'll so sell myself for that kind of reward

 

something i seem to search and not get much info on is adding a reverse camera or installing the alpine video input kit the right way for the first time for it to work correctly... just an idea, i did the reverse camera but yet doesnt work, and also ordering the kit but what seems to be the problem is the wiring that comes with the kit is wrong.

 

if i remember correctly its either the video input OR reverse camera, you cant have both. and i think that the reverse camera is also another thing the dealerships didnt connect if you upgraded, just like the usb, have you takin out to check to see if its connected?

 

My car came stock with the hu and it didnt have a reverse camera I brought one and installed it, yet doesnt come on at all also tried a dvd player didnt come on at all. From what I could find out so far from reading people install the hu in 2008 it has to have a kit which has unclear directions. I asked the dealer yet they do not know and once I receive my video bypass ill try it, but just wanted a vid to follow and be exact the first time

 

I don't really have access to that right now so I couldn't do the reverse light install. If someone is in the bay area and willing to do it then I could go from there. Might do a suede headliner install after the hvac repositioning

 

Directions on that kit suck. I did the video a while back, so I'll do a quick install for the video cable tonight. I didn't care about the back-up camera, so I can give you the basics, but you'll still have to do some experimenting (ie -where to run the wire, looking to see the best place to attach the reverse sensor wire thingy...)

My guess is your problem with the DVD is the e-brake indicator. To keep you from driving while watching videos, the kit has an e-brake indicator. If the e-brake isn't on, no video. It's just a ground wire, so all you have to do is attach it to a ground near the HU. I think I found the details on an xB forum (they've used the same Alpine HU for a couple years now).

 

My head unit couldnt watch dvd at all. It wouldnt show up. On thr screen nothing happend

 

I thought it would be able 2 play with the ebrake up

 

i need a help on how to swap LED on license plate light... idk how to... i just swap LED on my domes and trunks... just the license plate now. lolz

 

open up the trunk, pop out the tab, then just twist the sockets

 

and? lolz all i know was to take off the wire thing...

 

just remove the stock and plug in the LED

(i don't want to sound like an ___, but i believe there is a diagram/instructions on removal in the owner's manual)
