axis008 Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Nice! I unfortunately don't know the answer to your question, so here's a bump! -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aken Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 I think you should install it yourself. Pioneer instructions are pretty clear - I don't think you'd have any problems. Plus you'd be saving yourself a lot of money probably (I wouldn't be surprised if the shop asked for like $100+ just to install). Should you have any questions, call your cousin or some other audiophile friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scans007 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 100+ is generous......Are you do'n amps and a sub too...? My guess would be around 350 for HU, Amps and Sub.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmanus88 Posted May 2, 2005 Author Share Posted May 2, 2005 i should be able to get it done for 100 or less at 6th ave electronics (in paramus NJ). just the unit, no sub or anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmanus88 Posted May 8, 2005 Author Share Posted May 8, 2005 picked up teh car yesterday,m the unit is incredible, i am ultra satisfied. the guy also put a switch that overrides that safety feature of not being able to switch routes during driving over 5 mph, i decided ot hide the switch becaus eof picky aesthetics, but if i find a need to always change route during driving i'll undig it from the counsel. will have pics tonite, have to celebrate mother's day. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmanus88 Posted May 9, 2005 Author Share Posted May 9, 2005 here u go sorry teh pics are at night and few, but u get the idea. installation is very clean, unit is unbeleivable. definately reccomended if u have a use for navi (i have no sense of direction, its a Godsend for me!) and other of the various multimedia features it offers. very stylish unit. http://client.webshots.com/album/341647542ubamUX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy05GT Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 looks like a clean install. can you post the dimentions of the nav unit. Screen size as well as the dimentions of the din unit as well? Also, how are you powering the unit, did u tap into the existing power or did you run wiring from the battery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scans007 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Looks Awesome man......Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmanus88 Posted May 9, 2005 Author Share Posted May 9, 2005 the install seemed fairly complicated... i watched the final half hour of the installation and they had the whole console ripped apart and whatnot..... i am guessing they are tapping power from the console (it still works for AC pruposes of course). i will post all specifics when i get home today.

scans007 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Yeah, for just a new HU that makes sense, if you had gotten new amps and a sub, they prob would've run it from the battery..... Enjoy the new toy...I'm jealous........ Hey did they hook up the gauges, I thought I remember reading that your unit could display boost and such.....

wrx2blackGT Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Looks awsome!! I am still going back and forth with doing the same set-up. The only thing that bugs me is that I would have 2 headunit sin my car, one with absolutely no purpose. But it looks soo sweet, and navi would be awsome to have! Regardless nice job!

mmanus88 Posted May 9, 2005 Author Share Posted May 9, 2005 gauges work, no hookup nessecary. the thing has its own gyroscope, its dead-on accurate with legacy's gauges, even gives u slope and mph down to the first decimal place. another awesome thing is that it vastly increased the quality of my sound system.... its output is great and is higher quality than waatever unit the subby was originally feeding through for audio. my sirius sounds like it really should now. legayc05, all that info is posted, the DIN is found at avoturboworld, dimensions on pioneers site (naturally). anyone looking for navi/multimedia powerhouse/bling def go with this unit.

GTLegs Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 The only thing that bugs me is that I would have 2 headunit sin my car, one with absolutely no purpose. I installed my pioneer DVD player with the avo din panel, but I used a LOC to send the speaker signal from the stock deck into the aux in on my pioneer, so I still have the 6 disk changer, and the FM radio comes from the stock deck (so I dont have to use special antenna connections!!)

mmanus88 Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 i have a question of my own. the pioneer head unit puts out more than subaru inteded (i would think?) 50x4 wattage. wat are safe settings regarding khz or watever for the unit regarding subbie's maximum capacity on the speakers (no danger of blowing them out). sorry this is poorly worded, my audio knowledge is fairly basic.
