Double DIN Install
1 Attachment(s)
Has anyone put an aftermarket Double Din HU in? Please post pics if so.....I'm thinking of getting a kenwood..what do you think?
|
looks too busy to me IMO:(
|
I think it looks nice, and I would've gotten something like it but
unfortunately it would be pretty hard to fit it in my car....... |
I'm running a Clarion 6.5" power fold out monitor and a dvd player double din. It's gonna be two different units but they are technically double din. Those big double din HU's are nice but very very pricey for what you get.

Check out my "for sale" post HERE
Sweet deck - installed pics coming soon. And I might be able to get a sweet price on the Kenwood you posted above, too. |
I do agree that it looks sweet but....i believe it is out of my price range.

Double din install
I put a Clarion Max-2256 double din unit in place of the stock unit. I called all the aftermarket manufactures of install kits, No manufacture had a kit at the time. I removed the factory rear brace off the unit and adapted it to my new unit. Then I used backstraps to create brackets that mounted to the two holes that the dash bezzel plastic pins slide into. I used a dremel to remove those plastic pins on the bezzel. Then I put the unit in the dash and screwed the to L brackets into those open holes in the dash. The deck is more solid than the factory. Since the new deck is smaller I went to Circuit City and bought a sheet of ABS plastic and made a new bezzle to fill the opening. Be carful removing the dash bezzel, you need to remove the hard wires that control the vents on the drivers underside dash. Then remove the glove box and disconnect the other hard wire that controls your heat/cool knob. If anybody wants to see a picture of the deck mounted in the dash, e mail me at mazdaman1@home.com.

Think that kenwood is nice. I'm more into staying with the red lighting.

lighting
The Clarion has two color lighting amber and green plus the display is a tv monitor CD,TAPE,CD-R AM/FM stereo, Navagation input + input for rear mounted camera when you shift into reverse. This deck is impressive!!!!

The list of features is definitely impressive on that Clarion. How much was it?
I'm definitely going to email you for some pics. As far as the display, the Kenwood has a color-shifting face - you can set it at one of I think 12 different colors, you can also create your own or have it shift when you push butons or turn knobs, or even if your cell phone rings. There's easily a match for the P5 interior. Hopefully this GIF image will work - it shows some of the different colors: http://www.netian.com/~jmchoi/img/8020any.gif |
