Well after a little work, modification, fiberglass and wiring, we did it, a Pioneer D1 in the dash of an RX8 and everythings working. Air conditioning, upper display and navigation. I'm posting some pictures, if you have any questions e-mail me bruce@soundconcept.com Its hard for me to get back to all the clubs with the mods that we do.

 

WOW!!! post more pictures dude...looks awesome

 

Pretty nice install. I had mine just be one complete mold, here are some pictures of the finish piece of mine. It's an Eclipse AVN5435.

Nice work, did you relocate the stock deck to? What a pain hu?

 

wow I want one!

 

Nice work!

 

thats sweet... is your car NG?

 

haha, real nice. :D

 

Dude it looks great. The picture on the right is very confusing to me. Dont take this the wrong way but what made you choose the D1 if you allready have nav? The D1 still requires an externall DVD source. I completely understand the ambition to replace the stock HU though. I have the N2 in my 8 and i couldnt be happier.

 

I didn't relocate. I took the boards out of the factory head unit, resoldered, lenghtened, insulated and mounted them underneath the steering column

 

clean install..i want a head unit now!

 

EXACTLY HOW IT SHOULD BE DONE...congrats :D

(me getting sick and tired of people relocating the entire HU to the trunk only to find resistance problems and thus a half-assed functioning a/c dial and emergency blinkers erradic)

 

Why would you have to relocate the head stock unit?

 

are you serious..or being facetious?

 

I am guessing to keep the little display but I wasn't sure...just asking, geezzz!

 

you guys are funny

display doesn't work/Ac doesn't work/emergency blinker does not work

 

well aint that a bizatch!

 

yeh...and if you rush it or aren't careful...you can short the PCB out causing a non-warranty repair...that is quite costly...

 

nah...under 200 for a used HU...no big deal

 

hey man...that $200 could be a tank of gas!!!...:D :D
