Hi guys,

Just installed my Sony XAV-W1 dvd player. Used the ISO connecter plug so i didnt have to cut the wires and all works fine. All 6 speakers and sub in rear deck work without having to tap into the stock amp.

I got the accessories power source from the cigarette lighter.

Heres some pics:

 

It looks very nice.
Please tell me, if you get the key out .. it will turn off? (i am asking because my custom HU, won't)

 

Thanks bro,

Yeah if i take the key out or take it off accessories position it turns off.

Did u hook up your accessories/swtitcherd power source to your cigarette lighter?

 

No, i didnt, but this is a good idea, i will do this as soon as i get to my audio shop
Thanks!
PS: Your steering wheel buttons are still working?

 

Nop the steering wheel buttons dont work anymore but the unit is touchscreen and also has a remote so steering buttons arnt needed anymore.

 

Stereo looks great!!! The only thing that makes me want to hurl is the cinnamon 5 gum on the passenger side. Gross

 

Thanks,

Hahahhaa nah its not cinamon 5 gum. Its the red flavour one Melon? hahaha

 

so you can manipulate the unit with both hands on the wheel? Can you tell me how that works? Thanks.

 

*A wave of relief floods over me*

 

the headunit itself looks really nice. the aftermarket mount for it looks awkward to me. you should look at metra or international... they fit more seamlessly

 

Clean install bro, I never used a Sony headunit of any kind. How does it work?

 

Thanks guys, This is my first Sony head unit and it works quite well. The touchscreen is sensative so you dont have to push down the screen too much. The sound/picture quality is pretty good aswell.
I love the fact that you can change the background image, i chose the mercedes benz with the star so it looks abit OEM.
The Fascia that i baught had a large opening for the head unit and had a bit of a gap between the fascia and thr head unit. I had to make a custom trim between the fascia and the head unit so theres no gap so thats why it may not have 100% seamless fitment but it still looks alright.
