My head unit went out so I had to upgrade.

 

ipod video playback?

 

Yes you can play Ipod video but you have to get a certain cable to play it.

 

I have a Pioneer receiver for my home theater that comes with a mic for calibration. With this unit I can plug that mic into my car aux port and have the head unit run a calibration of the speakers (make sure you get out of the car while it's running because it can get pretty loud). It does a great job with setting your equalizers to the best possible setting, my front tweeters are sounding better than I thought they could I can finally hear them.

 

iPod connection in the rear?

 

It has only the ipod connection in the front.

 

Did you have the Bose or Stock radio before? The kit and install looks pretty good.

 

Nice install man looks like you scratched up the console a bit I did the same, you can blend it very easily. Just take something that is mildly abrasive (i used a mountain dew plastic bottle cap) and gently rub out the scratches.

 

I had a stock radio before. Thanks for the tip Paimon.soror, the last person who had it scratched it up I was looking for a way to clean that up.

 

i was wondering where u got the centre console part from because i am looking for one so that i can put an aftermarket headunit in there, it looks gd man.

 

search for metra kit

 

 

i just upgrade to 2din today with metra kit...n now my climate control is not working...can't switch to heater..n no light on display..can u help?

 

first check all your connections, if that doesnt work then call metra for a replacement

 

It's almost comical. As I said in another thread, had nobody used the Metra kit without problems? I'm sorry. Not trying to be rude. I'm just appalled at the lack of quality from a $150 dash kit. I realize some of these problems are installation related (faceplate pins and whatnot), but I don't recall anyone having these issues with the corksport kit even.

 

^^ No issues here with metra, but then again for the S2's its just a faceplate and no electical modules like the S1 :-p

 

....funny guy

 

<3 <3

 

I will admit sometimes the volume buttons on the steering wheel sometimes don't respond fully.

 

I have this same headunit, It's awesome... How did you calibrate it this way? Is there a setting part I'm missing that runs this calibration tool?

 

what was your total price for the upgrade in the end?????

 

Not sure what Antonio paid, but I'm about to do the Metra dash upgrade with a Pioneer P4300DVD and several adapters (iPod integration, PAC SWI module, bluetooth adapter and Sirius module).

I purchased everything (except the dash kit) from Amazon, and total cost, including the Metra kit was right around $875. Keep in mind though that the P3200DVD is about $100 less than the one I got.

 

Why would you go that route when the X930BT can be had for ~$650? Add in steering wheel controls and dash kit and your at about the same dollar spent, but now have GPS.

EDIT: Forgot about the Sirius modules. Add another $100 for those. Even still, worth the few extra bucks...

 

I absolutely wanted a 7" screen, and I didn't need the Nav, since I already have it built into the car. I also didn't want to spend over $1000 for the 7" AVIC-Z120BT alone.

All-in-all, this combo worked best for me, even though I didn't really want to have to add an external bluetooth adapter.

 

I paid 349.00 for the head unit from Amazon. For the calibration I have a Pioneer home system that has a Microphone that can also connect to the cars system, just plug it in run the auto calibration get out the car and let it do it's thing.
