Crazy Mondo Stereo DVD Nav BlueTooth Install!
The install includes: Kenwood DNX8120 Head Unit with: -Blue Tooth Kit -Voice controls -iPod Kit -Factory Steering Wheel Controls Kit (awesome!) -Sirius Satellite Kit -Built in Garmin Nav -DVD Video & Audio Player with Dolby Digital Surround, DTS and AAC -USB Connector for Jump Drives and External Hard Drives -Rear View Camera mounted on hitch -It also does slide shows of photos and reads DivX video, and iPod video straight from the iPod JL Audio Custom Stealth 10" Subwoofer JL Audio Stealthbox Custom-fit fiberglass enclosure with 10" W1v2 subwoofer Fits 2000-2006 BMW X5 at Crutchfield Signature MTX Amp to Power the Sub (mounted behind the Rockford amp, not visible in the pictures) Rockford Fosgate Amp to power all the factory speakers (I think they sound great with this much power behind them. I figured they'd blow and then I'd replace them all with nicer speakers but so far after a year of pushing them hard they still sound great (to me and everyone else who gets in the car)) Three way crossovers for the front speakers (in dash, tweets & door speakers) Two way crossovers for the rear speakers Blue Tooth and Nav Antennas installed inside the Rear Wing (Thanks X5 world for the how to photos!) Two Invision Industries Head Rest DVD Player units (Thanks Lawrence!) that still move up and down with the comfort seat electronic controls. Each has their own deadicated DVD player, wireless headphones, remote control, and external input (I hook up a WII to one and an old Atari 2600 (for shi*ts and giggles) to the other to pass the time during the long winter drives (back seat passengers only of course ;-) and each can be a master or a slave, or play what's being played on the in dash DVD player so all three screens show the same thing (had to buy a separate "Rev3" box for that.) It's awesome when a big rig jacknifes and they close the pass, and we sit there idling for 3 hours in Park. We throw on a Chris Rock stand up comedy HBO special or something, push it to all three monitors, and sit there laughing instead of scowling...ok fine there's still some scowling when it takes a full 9 hours to get back home on a Sunday night) The Headrests also have security covers that match the factory leather so they're stealth unless their in use, and the sub and amps are all mounted in the original compartments so the payload in the rear is unaffected, and everything is hidden and tucked neatly away. The sub HITS (!) just as hard as a JL 15 I had in the trunk of an A4 (probably due to the open air factor with the sub inside the passenger compartment) and I have to turn it down to -5 while listening to Sirius b/c the signal has so much bass. I had the install done professionally by a guy who had done it before, and thank God b/c it took him two weeks, and he did a phenomenal job. I also especially like how I can see the tow hitch and back right up to the trailer and align the ball perfectly like I'm docking with a space station or something. Anyway, I love this set up so much words can't do it justice, and I learned a ton while getting it all done, so I wanted to share it with the awesome crew here at X5 world. Now I have a system that's exactly what I wanted, and a pile of leftover factory stuff collecting dust. |

Thanks!!! Yeah, it would be better for someone to get some use and enjoyment out of all the original parts, so I should box 'em up and get rid of them, but I don't think we're allowed to post stuff for sale here (at least that's what I recall from when it was X5world, I think one has to buy a premium membership or something like that)

Nice Install mate, I have just installed a Kenwood DNX7240BT and is fantastic. Big difference as my car just had the single cd player fitted as standard.

What plugs did you have to get in order to be able to hook everything up? I'm just doing the research now on how to put in a similar system. I've alrady converted my sub box to accommodate a 10" kicker sub but it's the wiring of the head unit along with the amp and finding the proper connections that is freak'n me out a little bit right now.

I did end up buying a premium membership but then I never got around to posting it and it expired. Couldn't easily figure out how much to sell it for, any idea what a fair price is for the whole system as a package deal? |

Just put it on eBay, then you will know what people are willing to pay for it.
