I just did mine yesturday with avic-d3 too! I even painted the metra kit and it still sucks ***. Fitment is atrocious. I ordered the JDM one, i cant f in wait

 

Wow that JDM kit looks nice! I just ordered it from japanparts.com last night. Can't wait!

I might even need to buy a nicer headunit now, something with touch-screen, navigation, dvd, etc....

Has anyone seen this new in-dash computer?

That is insane! I'd pick it up, but its a tad too pricey.

 

i wanted that too, but its def too pricey, plus it doesnt come out till oct or nov, i called the company up lol

 

dumb question!!! wheres the heater knobs(control)? were they replaced by the radio?

 

Under the radio.

 

sorry but im still a newbie. and i noticed all of you guys have evo 10. hahahhahahahah i gotta do some research if they have them in 9.cool setup!

 

LOL what???

 

Wait, are you saying if using the JDM hazard, you get an airbag light (like in the LCD display)?

I really dislike the look of that whole piece. I plan to mount an audio contol unit right over it. The controller is nearly the exact same size. The problem is it has a thick wire coming out the side and there is no where to tuck it behind panels and not look ****ty. When I first saw this post, I thought terrific, I'll just use the JDM hazard and drill a 1/4" hole through the right side where the wire will be. But if the JDM piece throws an airbag light, it's back to the drawing boards for me. Thanks.

 

Just use the one that came with the car, that hazard light/airbag light piece comes off, you can take it off and put it on the JDM one, read the whole thread for more detail

 

I even painted the metra kit and it still sucks! The fitment is really bad, thank god its only temporary. I cant wait till the JDM one comes in already.

 

You need to hardwire that shiat. Coords across the dash ftl.

 

working on it

 

when you guys install these aftermarket decks, did anybody have any trouble with the factory amp and etc etc? I am not sure but do you guys have have the SSS or just a base gsr? i heard you have to run wires to each speakers to the double din or something like that. any info be great! thx

 

I have the fosgate 9 speaker blah blah blah. It sucks. I also have nav; i.e. the MR tech pkg. I think you need the amp harness to connect an aftermarket HU to the stock amp. I'm ditching it all for an aftermarket amp and HU. Should have never gotten the tech pkg. I think the amp harness is out, but may be hard to find....don't really know.

 

I have the SSS and you do need to wire each speaker individually and you can't use the stock amp.
