99 Maxima install

OMFG was it a pain!

First off one of the screws holding the center console decided to go AWOL; thank God my dad keeps lots of random screws and one fit in...

Next - ******* lilliput ****ed up their wiring; they labeled the 12V line as ground, and ground as 12V. So when we connected the screen as per instructions; the cap in the power filter burst; we quickly found the shens, redid the wires and amazingly enough the filter worked and all is well. I am freakin stoked - I still need to reconfigure the sound since it sounds sorta iffy for me; but some initial tinkering seemed to make it work fine. GPS works; OBD2 needs to be set up properly - but most importantly - everything is working!!!!

Pix:

Crappy wiring... yeah....

Distribution block in action!

Everything tucked in and arranged!

How the center console looked before:

Vents and shifter knob off! Was easy to take off:

Enter center console off - quite a mess:

My friend Chris like sot get jiggy with the console ^_^

All cleaned up and nice ^_^

The new look of the center console:

Centrafuse front end:

Awesomeness:

That's pretty much! Fire away your questions!

Looks good man. Did that just fit a factory hole or did you have to do some cutting.

Straight drop in. The metal brace that hold the deck and the cubbys is a perfect fit

How did you get iguidance to work with centrafuge?

If you guys read the Centrafuse forum, there is a plugin floating around that integrates iGuidance 3.0 into Centrafuse.

nice work man kinda reminds me of my maxima install.

hey i really like the setup. this is my first post. i have a 97 maxima and i want to do something very similar. did you use the lilliput screen that was already in a double-din housing?

if not, then how did you actually secure the screen?

i am kind of in a dilemma. i want to put this in my maxima now, but i am probably going to get a new car in about a year (an acura TL). everyone that has made a carPC in a TL has mainly used the xenarc screen. so... would the xenarc screen also fit in the maxima (with minimal modification... so that i can put it back to how it is now before i sell the car)?

any help would be appreciated. thanks!
