some new interior mods
control unit to the v1 for stealth. to the left of it is the mic for bt. reason for the long wire is cuz im testing on where i would like to put it. it allows me to put it on the dash as well. even with tinted windows, the glare from the sun doesnt allow me to see arrows or band.
self explanatory =)
pioneer HU (more pics to come)
pioneer on the dash.
center console shot
brabus shift knob

all the parts cost quite a bit. i dont remember the total. never really totaled it up either. i bought it from various stores for discounted prices. collected all the parts and did an install.
i'll post a thread later how i ran all the wires and the parts i bought.
thanks! what hu are you thinking about getting?

The headunit looks great!
I was wondering if you lost steering wheel controls afterwards? I've seen some units from PAC, but it doesn't seem to integrate well with our cars.

when was it when i started this? 6 months ago. lol i was waiting for that background. then i added the v1. so i decided not to put the shift trim piece in till i finished everything.
then i ended up picking up the shifter so i did it all again. wish i took before and after pics tho. haha. i cant even remember how my car looked like before.

it is. but its dim. i wanted to see how dim was dim. i installed this morning. so im not really sitting in the dark. i want to take it out tonight to see how much it might be lit. worst case scenario, talk to advans about getting a new led in there. shouldnt be too hard.

If you get in touch with advans, let us know what LED he told you to use.

i do think there is another member on here who has had their LED swaped...? i think ima forgetting his username tho. km....aj? something along those lines. jon as i think his real name was. put a white led on it.
and i dont even know how to open up the dam thing. lol i dont want to break it. finally just got one too. well since its dark. i wanna see how lit up is the b.\
so the b is pretty dim. but you can see it at night. not all too bright but a subtle b. you see it less when driving on a street with street lights. i didnt bother bringing a camera but the b lights up only at a dim subtle thing. i kinda like it. but im sure its on its way out. so i already sent a message to advans. maybe when it goes out, i'll put in a new orange led.

as for my set up, my box stays still. i didnt want it to move and did want to use nets and such. so my buddy and i bolted down the box to the car. but i do agree, i miss trunk room.
you go to UCSD right? how is sd treating you
i was originally debating the pioneer vs kenwood hu. even though kenwood has more processing power, pioneer hands down had the best looking gui. their damn updates are expensive tho.

good job indeed...
how did you pop-up the stock head unit? Was it really hard? I know that I wanted to upgrade mine too but its not the right time yet...

i would say upgrade sooner than later. i was always wanted to get a stereo job done. and i used to do a lot of driving before. and i wish i had all those audio mods when i commuted everywhere.

pac audio helps you regain sw controls. you can actually program it to do a lot more than that. i didnt have the phone option but if i bought the new pac audio unit which just recently came out and accepts bluetooth, you can program it to pick up and hang up via sw controls.
but i never use sw controls. only from time to time.
