LOL! Glad you like those toggle switches, price is right too!

Lens is flat. I posted this pic a few posts back, but here it is..

 

Since we are on the subject of stereo stuff does anyone know if Crutchfield has a low price garauntee...Those guys aren't exactly the cheapest place on Earth. But they do have pretty good customer service

 

If i'm installing another brand of a DVD player in my car do I still need to get the: PAC TR7 Universal. Trigger Module ?
Or is this only for your Alpine?

The TR-7 is just a trigger module and comes pre-programmed for Alpines, but can be programmed to pulse different signals. You didn't mention which headunit you have, but I'd just Google 'video bypass' along with your model and see what comes up.

 

I'm glad you brought this thread back up Daniel. Since I just purchased a new H/U and now I don't have to go searching for the voltage regulator number on the site now.

TacoBill, just a small question of the procedure. In your write up you said:
Which three wires need to be soldered to the output of the voltage regulator? And also, is the Y adapter needed for the subs for any wiring harness or just the Alpine units?

I'm replacing my Shaker 500 with a Kenwood DNX7100 DVD/NAV system. Hopefully it will get here sometime next week. Since I have an 80GB Video Ipod I didn't really see the need for the 30GB hard drive in the Avic Z-2. Though I do kinda hate giving up the picture of the layout of the buildings that the Z-2 does. But if the nav is as accurate as everyone says then I'll get over it. Especially for a $400 difference in price. I just wish Kenwood put in a larger drive for their map software.

 

You're in luck! My buddy Dan (hags1) did a pretty good write up onhis DNX7100 install.

I also have links to part 2 and 3 (Lorex back up cam and Pioneer speaker install) if you want them, just LMK.

 

Thanks for the link TacoBill. That clears that up.Your dad did a great job on the write up and now you have some competition as write ups go. And links to the rest of his articles would be great. I would love to see what else he did and how he did it. I won't be upgrading the factory speakers and amps anytime soon but I'm sure I will sometime down the line.

It's interesting that your dad hooked the illumination wire up to the hazard lights. I wonder how in the world that works for switching between night and day modes of the display. But hey, if it works it works.

I noticed your dad used the P.I.E. KNW/USB-AV instead of the Kenwood cable. Is there any particular reason he went with the P.I.E. KNW/USB-AV over the Kenwood cable and does he still have the ability to play videos through his Ipod?

And how does he like the DNX7100?

 

My Dad??? He's more like my son! [8D]

I have no idea of he likes the Kenwwod, but I'm betting he loves it with all those features it has.

 

Thanks TacoBill for your prompt response!
I had purchased some "cheap" H/U from Fry's Electronics. And I HATE IT!!
The software installed sucks, I won't remember the stations programmed and it isn't flush. So I decided I'm going to get the Alpine you have. A friend of mine has it and it's soooo much better. So I'll be returning this H/U today or tomorrow and buying the Alpine sometime this week, I'm sure i'll have some questions in the near future but this write up looks just perfect! Thanks again
