my dvd works when I'm driving. That means I have bypass right? Maybe wrong input. I hate my installer.

it's okay with the heat when the lights are on? or do you not use the maplights (like me)? :)

usually yep. but i didnt install your stereo so we will never know...

i dont use the maplights at all (only when the doors open) so i cant comment on the heat. I can tell you all the people i have called say the quality is perfect from that location.

so your car looks like kitchen florescent lighting with a dead fly inside? ;) jk

By any chance have you guys figured out how to get the dimmer to work on your Kenwoods? I hooked up the wires, but my Dimmer doesn't work when I turn the lights on. I haven't figured that one out yet.

The wire that it is hooked up to will not be controlled by a dimmer dial but either by what time of day it is or if the headlights are on. Depending on what you select in the head unit that is what it will do. Also your video bypass is working fine if you can watch movies while driving. Just be lucky that they did that. Most shops will not do it because of being afraid of being sued.

What is the recommended setting in the unit to run it off of?

It is not a matter of turning it on or off but weather you want the dimming to be controlled by the time of day or by weather the headlights are on. That is up to you the owner.

Thanks for all of the pics and info. I ordered that same camera as you AK for my AVIC-D1. Its a ton cheaper than the pioneer one. Have the zenclosures door spacers and PAC-SWI and harnesses on the way also before I can get started really. Looking forward to getting to work on it.

Sorry if it's been asked, but did the microphone come with one of the other purchases? I don't see it on the list of things you bought.

It is included with that head unit and most head units that have blue tooth built in. Or when you buy the external box for blue tooth it comes with one.

Thanks!

How much should one expect to pay to have a professional install this setup?

Should I assume he/she is familiar with some of the small things like preventing the resetting of your passenger airbag and windows and stuff, or do I print this out and give it to them? Should I look for someone that has worked on the 370z before?

What kind of timeframe should I expect for it to be done?


Thanks. I used to work on car audio in high school, and it was nothing like this. You ran power down one side of the car and RCA down the other...connect the sub to the amp and voila! It's so much more complex now...

DO NOT ASSUME ANYTHING with shops. Always ask question like have you worked on a 370z before? do you know about the air bags and warning lights? Do NOT be afraid to ask questions.
