Larno Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Many thanks to the guys in the how-to thread, finally managed to get my new head unit and sub installed! After annoying people with questions thought I should post a pic of the finished product. http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/7413/stereop.jpg Unfortunatly the height of the boot is about 3/4 of an inch to low to stand my sub box up http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/4787/stereo1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of curiosity what is the little ECO button on the left side of your shifter? Is that an early version of the 'Intelligent' mode in S-Drive?

Should have been around for the previous "only option" (for stock location dual din placement). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaNu1142 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Installed! Here's the notch I cut out for the JDM hazard button: http://i.imgur.com/Xfox5l.jpg ...and the finished product: http://i.imgur.com/a7Wd8l.jpg?1 I'll have to take some photos OUTSIDE of the garage to get some better light. The fit is OK... I notched the tabs on the shifter surround to get everything to line up. All three pieces are painted a metallic graphite color that I really like--I have lots left & may try to match the rest of the silver inside the car.

jb2311 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 what color silver did you paint the jdm dash bezel it looks great do you have any more pics thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaNu1142 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I'll get some better pics--the dye is a custom mix, I'll put up the codes as well when I walk down to the garage. I really dig it, too. Tits mcgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaNu1142 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 ^ Great color match! Actually, it's terrible--all three pieces are painted the same color, and it's nowhere near the original color! It's a metallic graphite sort of color... I really like it. If I can get motivated to remove the rest of the silver in the car, I'll paint the rest of it the same.

How did you get yours to fit so well. I have the gaps like most everybody else does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a little tweaking... dremeled the left side of the tabs at the top of the shifter surround... but I do have gaps. It doesn't fit as factory, but it's as close as I can get it.

zenfamily Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Sorry I've entered this late. I ended up doing a single din setup with the JDM HVAC a couple of years ago. The funny thing was that Crutchfield sent me the Base legacy setup, which I cut with a Dremel. I imagine they have a double din setup. The biggest advantage was that I didn't have to do any cutting in the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenfamily Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 This is what it looks like with the JDM Dual HVAC Kit with the Crutchfield single DIN kit. Hopefully, it gives you some more ideas. http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w456/zenfamily1/Big%20winged%20Legacy/2eb0a7d5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asylum Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I just did the double DIN radio installation. It is easy on the EUDM as the i88 connector is the same as the JDM one. No need of an adaptator. Just plug it in. I tried to keep the steering wheel controls using an Axxess interface but failed. It recognises automaticaly the wiring to the car (pin 19 of the 20-pinned connector to the Axxess box, pin 20 to the ground) and the Alpine radio, but forces the volume up to the max without me pressing any button. I tried to programm it manually, but it never recognises the volume up button, the first one to programm, when I press it. I even tried with the pins 12 and 11 respectively as I was not sure that I looked at the 20-pinned connector the right way. I gave up I also connected an amp placed under the passenger seat. Wiring was easy passing the battery wire through the gum of an harness behind the glove box then along the passenger door. The stock radio/AC unit using the single zone AC control : http://www.japantuning.ch/Divers/Sylvian/Photos/legacy_009.JPG The JDM single zone AC control : http://www.japantuning.ch/Divers/Sylvian/Photos/legacy_010.JPG The only adaptator you will need for the EUDM is an ISO -> 14-pinned Subaru connector. The harness on the right (Alpine -> ISO) comes with the radio. http://www.japantuning.ch/Divers/Sylvian/Photos/legacy_011.JPG I put a pic here but I still need to work on the fitment to eliminate some gapes. It was late yesterday evening... http://www.japantuning.ch/Divers/Sylvian/Photos/legacy_012.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Catalyst. Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 ^ looks great. Did you vinyl wrap the kit and shifter surround (looks like a roll in the first shot)? Interested in color used.

Better photo: http://i.imgur.com/xC3Pil.jpg Sorry to bring this back up.... But.... did you ever post up the brand and color code you used? I'm sure I can figure a color close to yours, but I really, really like the color you used! Plus it has just the right "flatness" to the shine. Not to shiny not to dull.

Chewee22 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I use gloss vinyl, but they have matte dark gray vinyl http://www.ebay.ca/itm/3M-1080-M261-Scotchprint-Matte-Dark-Gray-Vinyl-Wrap-Film-60-x12-/380415387744?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5892862860 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to make R/C airplanes many, many years ago and used Monocoat for the wings and body. I was okay using that, but not perfect. I like this 3M stuff that you used as it looks like it would hold up to scratches better than paint. Thanks for the link to the dark matte finish! Your install looks awesome!

It was my first time trying to wrap something, and I think the result is real good. Just follow the instructional video on the Ebays page and with your past experience in R/C you should be ok.
