Dynavin N6 install -Pics!

[LVR]

Just installed N6 to replace standard business cd today...

Some differences to other installs.... I used an AEG multi tool to cut out the plastic. Took all of 30 seconds and cut exactly where needed.

Also the new mic I surface mounted on the centre overhead console as it is larger but kind of a mouse shape. I used a timber flooring plastic joint as a draw wire (it's a flat plastic 3mm thick by 10mm wide length of poly) and got the wires through no problems...

System booted up first time with no probs and the wife loves it (did her car first).

Thanks to JEFF at J and T for the prompt answers to a couple of minor queries.

Now to find the time to do mine.....

Cheers

Well, finally got round to doing mine with the fakra cable...

Turns out that in OZ we have the nav screen but not the nav unit and we need the cable (unique to Australia)..so had to wait for that to arrive then do the strip out yada yada...

Got it all done ok with many references back to here about seat removal etc..

Wasn't too bad UNTIL.... that stupid F##^ing bracket is the absolute worst design fail... I wasted 1.5hours wiggling, jiggling, adjusting the stu#id lame a$$ bracket, putting in the head unit and pulling it out repeatedly, angling like advised on the threads...

In the end, bent the tabs down and it still wouldn't seat properly... what utter utter cr@p....

tried everything possible to get it to seat, and then in an act of pure frustration, hit the brackets with a hammer in the centre and bent them inwards to see if that made it seat better (I have spares from the wifes install)....

... and now it fits no problem...

seriously... Jeff... did NOT need the frustration after a day of pulling apart the interior and putting it back together....

oh, and the "connect the green wire to the reverse light circuit" is a little light on the detail side.....

Thank heavens for the good folk here on this forum answering questions and posting pics....(although I gave up trying to work out which wire is the reverse light circuit)

RANT OVER ...lol

Cheers
