I agree... great car, nice install so far but it doesn't look like you're done... MOLD IT!

It's cool what you did with the radio display. if you ever want to lose the h/u you can purchase lcd or vfd displays and put it in the place of the radio display. some front ends, like centrafuse will output to these displays.

Nice job.

Looks a lot like my old install (relocating HU to glove box, carputer in the trunk floorboard)

What year you have? I got a 04. I can tell from the HU display that you either have a 05 or 06.

If you ever switch to frodo, i got a skin that matches the inside. You can see a pic of it in the link in my sig.

Keen70: it's Roadrunner with the BMV skin. I plan trying to make my own skin soon. As my girlfriend is good in art & design and she uses the car more than a do, that way she feel part of it

Viller: I would be honnered! I try to take better pics in the next days, because I was in a hurry to get it done for last week-end road trip.

NappyJim: It is a 2005, and thanks for the skin.

NappyJim: I also forgot to give you some credits for the idea! Seeing your homepage, I just realize I saw it before!

I also owe some thanks to nappy jim who helped me with my install... Nappy, How is it going?

Scote... I will add link to this forum ASAP...
peace

Viller, I've looked around for this software (UbiquityV) and don't find any links where I could d/l it. Is it free? Where can I get a hand on it?

thanks

Quick question....

If you removed the stock head unit.... How did you keep the Stock Clock/Radio LCD working?

Thanks,

Rafster

The LCD is mounted on the radio bracket et connected with a bunch of wires thru a connector. I cut the wires and extended them, made another bracket to hold the lcd and move the radio to the dash compartment.

Take a look at that site, it might give you some ideas...

The keyboard is a dreamgear, bought on ebay if a remember, and it comes with a bracket to mount on a playstation2 controller. It works fine, but lacks some useful buttons like escape key. It think I payed around 45$ (CA) with shipping.
