TuanDang79,

Are you planning on making any more retro-fitting for the double-din? I know that a few members here would probably buy them from you if you are planning.

Let me know what price you looking to get for one. I'm interested in it.

honestly I think it is best to leave this stuff to the folks with experience they seem to understand very easily how to make these work with some or all OEM components....

I am no Dufus & do most of my own work on lal my cars... but every time I try to get my head around all this stuff... I KNOW I will just mess something up if I tried it myself....

this is one time where i will definitely PAY someone with the knowledge & experience to get it done right& in half the time & with NO headaches on MY part ... ... esp when you start dealing with units with MULTIPLE devices connected ... like HU's with Navi units & Ipod interfaces & XM radio interfaces etc.....


It gets pretty complex for any one much less a "newbie" to car audio installation......it aint like back in the day when we just slapped a JVC HU, a graphic Eq/ Amp plus some beefy 6x9's & a couple Midranges & a set of tweeters if you were " Going Custom" ..... hahaha

I am about to have an Avic N1 with the Ipod/ XM & full navi setup installed in my IS300, with an amp & sub... & i cant imagine doing it my self



Also....I heard that a familiar company... like mettra or scosche is making an Aftermarket Rx300 Dash kit that will keep the OEM AC etc controls & also allow the Aftermarket unit to pop right in where it should.....

apparently it will not be cheap as they had to engineer all the switches etc & the P N P setup so it plugs into the OEM harness.... but i am waiting on a confirmation of this & then i am ordering one...

edgy, do you know if its going to be similar like to the one tuanduong made? or is it going to be just a single din? i know for a fact that they make dash kits in japan for our cars, but it is only single din and it goes right below the ac controls. a bit pricy though...........

The more I see that monotone tan dash, the more I want my uncle to paint that dark area around the center console.

One idea my father and I had was to hook up satellite tv to my RX300 via this device, http://www.slingmedia.com/

Basically you hook up your cable or satellite box or even just your tv and with a high speed Internet connection. You are set.

Then you would need a laptop with wireless and hook it up in the RX. Problem is down here, we don't have nationwide wireless coverage and local coverage is spotty unless you pay big bucks.

I don't the situation to well back in the U.S., but maybe someone can clue me in.

Hey Sniper615, when are you going to post the pics? I wanna see them!

I also installed an AVIC-D1 (upgraded to D2) in my GS400 and am curious to see how well integrated yours is, in your RX.
