anyone have any advice on in dash dvd players for my evo ix? easy install?

 

Are you looking for single din or double din?

Here's mine, single din, and this was the easiest install in any car I've owned by far. 4 bolts, took out the seat and put the brain under the seat.

BTW, the screen doesn't block the A/C vents but it does block the clock.

 

I'm very happy with my avic-z1, but you should list some other requirements you might have. z1's ipod interface is slow, but if that's not a big deal (isn't for me, as i don't use an ipod much) it's great. Records CDs to the hard drive, bluetooth phone support, gps, xm (with traffic), sirius, plays mp3s on CDs, DVD player, and GPS. I wonder if I'm forgetting anything...

Oh, doesn't have hd radio. Does use the Gracenote song db to provide song info for CDs that don't already have cd-text. The DB is updated periodically with downloadable updates that you burn to a cd-r and install. Nav updates are supposed to be the same way but haven't seen one yet for the z1.

 

I'm running a Pioneer Avh-p6500dvd and as mentioned it's a super easy install. I have all my speakers amped so all i had to do was hook up the power, groud, and accessory wires, and plug in the L/R cables from the amp and i was up and running. My brain is in my glove box (back of my glove box has a cut out). I also have a FM Modulator behind the unit with a hookup to the glovebox for my ipod. It's not as clear as running directly to the unit (which i can't on this particular unit) but it's the next best thing!

 

avic-z2 FTMFW!

 

It's amazing how much better the interior looks with a double din and the Orbital kit! Nice Casper.

 

thanks adam yea the whole interior feels upgraded after its installed.
if you can find the orbital jump on it

 

The only problem with me is my MR gauges. I haven't been able to find out if the MR gauges can be kept using the orbital 2din kit. Anyone know off hand?

 

N/M I see in the pic that the climate controls are actually located where the gauges are.

 

yeah casper...I got the Orbital on order...supposed to come in middle of June...keeping my fingers crossed...I just picked up the Avic-D3 and bought a whole bunch of other stuff for my system. I'll post pics and do a write up once it's all installed.

 

AVIC-N3 is the shiz nat... doubles as a set of gauges. Nice bling and functionality.

 

where do you get the orbital kit?
