I'm just curious as to why no one mounts their aftermarket nav up where the stock nav is mounted? Don't you think it would look much better? or at least be easier to see...

bigaudiofanat · 07-02-2009, 05:31 PM

Well you would have to extend all the wires to put it up there. Also someone would have to make a custom mount for it to be there.

kosmo09 · 07-08-2009, 12:06 AM

Agree! It would require major rebuilding. However, I think one day we will see it here.

Baddriver · 07-08-2009, 07:00 AM

I'll wait this out. I hope people come up with a mounting bracket/kit that goes into the cupboard.

av370 · 07-09-2009, 04:15 PM

Does this unit have the option for steering wheel controls?

kosmo09 · 07-11-2009, 01:22 AM

The unit has wiring, however you would need a separate module to connect steering wheel controls for audio (cruise controls work fine after this custom installation).

where did you buy the bracket for the Head unit? Also where did you buy the wiring harness? I ordered this unit last week and should be receiving it soon. I also went to Best buy to have a quote on my system install, and they told me I need to bring in the wiring harness and the the bracket for the head unit. Or does the unit it self come with a bracket that will work? Thanks

bigaudiofanat · 07-12-2009, 08:27 AM

The bracket that is already in the car works just fine nothing wrong with it, also they should have the wiring harness for it if not you can get them on ebay or crutchfield. Here are the links to them

And to be honest you could probably do the install yourself.

Looks clean and nice!!

Chrono_30 · 07-12-2009, 12:26 PM

hey thanks a ton for those links!! I have done all of my car stereo installs on my other cars, I just want to make sure I don't screw this up. Esp since I have never done navigation unit. My big concern is having the antenna hidden under the dash. I was talking with the guys there, and they think they can have it completely hidden away.

bigaudiofanat · 07-12-2009, 12:43 PM

Take your time, if you rely want to do it nice go to walmart get some normal heat shrink, and solder and heat shrink your connections. You will do fine.

Chrono_30 · 07-13-2009, 05:28 PM

is it hard to locate the Ipod controls in the glove compartment? I think that location would be better since I think i have only opened that thing like two times in about 2 months. I like the idea of putting it in the compartment above the head unit. But I don't really want to drill in that area.

ktzdaman · 07-13-2009, 10:00 PM

ok, you inspired me to get the new eclipse! Got it yesterday and am going to install it on Thursday. just a couple quick q's for ya when you got a sec...

1. how do your speakers sound now that you have this head unit in?
2. did you hook up a back up camera?
3. on the harness from the new eclipse and the harness from scoche there are three black grounds... I'm assuming the double one gets chopped and then the remaining get connected right? wow, that just made me sound like an idiot.
4. where did you ground off the parking break

5. were you able to hook the brown (i think its the brown one) to the factory steering controls? any hints?

Just want to add one more time that your install and choice look amazing!!!! hope mine turns out well too!

You will have to drill a hole for the wire to be ran threw unless it can be ran over the lip of the inside of the glove box. Not that hard I would drill a hole and dremel out the hole.
