HU + Backup camera?

MX52Z · 01-09-2013, 11:58 PM

I have the Touring with Blows stereo so I understand that I'll need a dash kit. I saw a Metro kit on TheZstore but haven't heard of the Scosche. Ibwindercifcit's better. I want to order the head unit and Axxss tomorrow along with a good dash kit.

BTW, I actually do have a Galaxy Note II and it would be cool cradled in the hubby.

Many modern head units provide for auxiliary screens mainly for rear seat viewing in soccer mom vans but not sure if I can pull off my idea. If this is too much of a threadjack, please disregard.

Unfortunately the DNX9990HD can't output NAV to a second screen. iPod, Video, and DVD only. Aside from this it's a great HU.

Get the Metra Axxess for steering wheel controls. It works as advertised and has minimal lag.

Didn't know that the camera mount was installed only using double sided tape. Good call, I agree I'd rather have something more permanent with a $300 camera. I can't give advice on the dash kits, haven't even heard of the non-scosche one.

I've also been wanting to put something in the cubby space as it does seem like a wasted space. Turbo boost controller down the road maybe. Don't think a nexus 7 will fit. Samsung Note 2 maybe. But for what purpose? I have the HTC DNA phone, was thinking of some kind of mount/holder.

The Metra dash kit works with a minimal gap around the screen and looks OEM, especially when used with the trim ring you get with the DNX9990HU. The contour of the dash kit around the climate controls seemed a little weird at first but after a day or two I didn't even notice it anymore.

A 7" screen like the Nexus 7 will fit the cubby. I'm not a fan of putting the Nexus 7 in this location but if it blows your hair back go for it!

Do you think the scoche would fit better with no gaps and weirdness around climate controls?

I have no idea I've never seen the Scosche kit in person. I went with the Metra because I remember reading somewhere on the forums that someone who used it wasn't happy with the quality.

Really the "weirdness" I was referring to is minimal, I only noticed it because I'm pretty obsessive compulsive about fitment. The more aggressive curvature isn't really better or worse, just ever so slightly different. Someone who wasn't specifically looking for it almost certainly wouldn't notice and would most likely assume that it was the factory bezel.

Here's mine with the Scosche kit. I have the Metra also and didn't like it at all.
