Hope you get your Dinoc soon! Hey, are you running stock speakers? Was that the 6 disc Bose system? I'm intrigued. A direct swap that allows you to use steering controls AND uses the same wiring harness? Sh!t yeah! :tup:

Edit: Answered my own question: You had the DVD unit. I still wonder if it uses the same harness as the Bose 6 disc. :)

im using the base stereo speakers on my car. pioneer's EQ is very capable so even the stock flimsy speakers sound pretty good. :tup:

you will need a different harness for running with the bose, if you intend to keep the bose system speaker and amps. ive not looked into it in detail, but i think you use the metra/scosche harness that use RCA in's. if so, you will want a hu that has pre-amp out with at least 3V, 4V ideal. pioneers usually have 4V outs, but just make sure the spec before you buy.

my G has the bose system with polks that i installed, running AVH4100DVD with 4V outs. sounds :tup: and all steering controls work on that car as well. :p

Hello everyone. It was a tough day today here in Long Beach. We all said good-bye to my Dad at a memorial we held at his church. I was holding it together for the last couple of weeks since his passing, but today -- Geesh. There were about 170 people there which was a tribute to his popularity amongst his friends. When we all sang the Navy Hymn I was getting very choked up, but then when the bugler played Taps, that was it for my composure. He was a great man and will be greatly missed by many.

a big salute to your dad, mr. onzedge! :usa:

Thanks for the info Ken! That wrap looks great! I'm thinking I might try my hand at it. :)

How well do you think the Dinoc would do in the engine bay? Like....the radiator cooler plate, and what not?

thanks, yah, i tried dinoc on the engine cover and it could not withstand the heat. you'll probably want to use real CF overlay for those. :)

I've been contemplating that, as well. I was just watching this a little earlier. :tup:
