With a relay added, the radio with turn on, parking brake will have no connection. After the unit turns on, a signal will be sent through the blue/white wire (amp turn-on), which activates the relay. Which then simulates you pushing down the parking brake after the unit turns on. All this happens very quickly but you get the idea.

Basically when the radio turns on, parking brake wire needs to show no connection first.

I hope you understand it, it's the best way I can explain it. lol.

For Alpine and Clarion screen it's not as simple.

Thanks. Makes sense. I kind of thought they maybe dong the but was not sure since I have been out of car audio for along time an cannot keep up with all the new stuff.

Is it possible to wire up 2 cameras with this headunit? One hooked up to the rearview camera input, and the other into the video input?

It's possible, but why would you want to?

Isn't that what the mirrors are for?

And if you input 2 cams into it, you'll have to alternate between views, and if you're doing this while backing up, you're still going to not see everything...

The majority of products found on shelves today have the iPod/iPhone dock connectors built-in, such as alarm clocks. Even newer vehicles have the dock connectors built-in. Aftermarket radios are iPod/iPhone compatible, labeled right on the box. Integrates very easily. Theres nothing wrong with being a sheep with an iPhone. It works, and its so easy to buy stuff that works with them. I'm not a fanboy by any means, but I do get each iPhone that comes out because they're always improving specs and I like to be up-to-date.

Now, if you don't want to be a sheep then trade in the Z on a Fiat or get that new Subaru BRZ that comes out in a few months

I have the evo 3d. I use my old iPhone 3G for Pandora and iPod (with no phone service). I have the sprint mobile hotspot on my evo connected to the iPhone via wifi. It costs $30 a month for the mobile hotspot, but I use it frequently with my laptop and tablet. The setup works flawlessly. The only downer is you need to plug in your evo on longer trips because the hotspot will eat the battery. This would work with an iPod touch as well.

Has anyone gotten this to work with the factory BOSE stereo that comes in the touring model? I know the radio itself will work with the provided harness from Crutchfield. I'm just looking for feedback on the sound quality when using stock BOSE speakers AND subwoofer.....

Is it better or worse than using the stock radio?

fuct · 08-26-2011, 04:21 PM

thx footloose!

Easy. On a Scale of 1-10 I'd give it a 2.

As long as you know how to properly disassemble the dash, and crimp the right wires together, it's really simple.

The hardest part is with the Metra Dash kit for a Double Din install, but if you just reuse your stock bracket, it's a synch.
