um, not too sure if u have already bought it or not...but u can order one from strathfield car radio for around $90, i ordered one and it took about 3 days to come cause i wanted to install a custom sound system with dvd player...
Thanks for the reply guys. I did end up getting the FM modulator but now no radio stations on the dvd player work at all, and some local stations on the cars head unit dont pick up signal anymore, and they used to work perfectly. Anyone know whats going on there?
So with the setup you have iizzii, does that mean you just switch between both the cars head unit and dvd player using the CD/AUX button on the head unit? Does it all work well? Have you got the make and model of the adapter you bought?
(I know these are all dumbass questions but i'm not too sure on all this stuff.)
Does anyone know if theres someone on Ozhonda that I can get the auxillary adapters from?? If not i'll probably just try Pac-Audio or strathfield.
um nah sorry i dont but the guys at strathfield car radio at maroubra/kingsford did it, cause thats what i asked for, but yeah i just switch between aux button...
the number for them is 93496888 ask for pablo or paoloforgot his name, but he tends to know more about car systems than anyone else in ther from my own experience
Thanks i'll give them a call. I found out its a 3.5mm input on my head unit. I'm guessing all the euros have the same connections so hopefully theres an adapter for it.Quote:

Had no troubles :thumbsup:
sweet thread,,,,
only problem is that as ive got sat nav i guess i might run into trouble as im planning to install another single din unit under the sat nav one;-????
will it fit ??? i dont know (see photo and tell me if you think it will fit??)
http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s...azo/Honda2.jpg
i guess first i should remove the trim and physically try to slide an old single din unit all the way too see if it fits......
if it does then this is what i'll need
1.buy a dvd single din unit (maybe jvc with little lcd in the face)
2.install it under the sat-nav unit (dont know if it'll fit)
3.instal some kind of aux input (need to read more post's to choose)
4.and buy a tvandnav2go unit and a few standard auto relays..
then eventually all i'll need to do is to push the aux button which will toggle power the aux-input device and power the jvc dvd unit via a simple relay, so then the jvc unit will turn on start playing a dvd which will trigger the tvandnav2go box which will switch the screen from sat/nav to the dvd and the sound from the head unit will also go into the aux-input box.....
hopefully all this will go smoothly and no magic smoke appears ...
edit: also does anyone know how much if any more space is required for dvd head units, because they have extra fans to keep air flow going and keep the overall temps cool. im just worried if the unit will heat up if the bottom of the sat/nav unit above it is touching the top off it.?????????/ any one ??
It's a standard double din, so a single din under the sat-nav dvd-rom drive should fit fine.
Instead of a single din with a small screen, wouldnt you be better off with a single din with a 7" flip screen?
sure that would be the easier way .. but i already got the satnav screen i want to utilize and want it to look integrated / stock(ish),, plus i might not go with the litle screen dvd unit just a no frills dvd player hooked up to the sat nav screen,,
but thanks for your answer/reply ill give it a test fit to see how it wedges in there
nice plan mate.. you might wanna add a backup camera and tv turner as well while you're at it :cool:Quote:

Keep us posted how you go..
can't you just get an after market dvd player hook it up under your seat and connect it to the aux input into the nav?
jsut wondering if you guys had to take out the stock HU to remove cables to plug harness in or is there an easy way of accessing the stock wiring without moving it?
Thanks guys.
not sure about the nav, but the standard radio has the plug for the aux kit on the bottom of the unit so you dont need to take the radio out
hmmm so all i do is take out the antenna plug and harness plug to access it as i am putting in a aftermarket HU?
so access the plugs from underneath where the cd holder/flip door is?
got the aux adapter put in and bluetooth kit finally came in, my units finally all finished, thanks for the help guys.Quote:

I think it depends on your head unit maybe? I've read on other posts within this thread that there is a gap on the side and so on.Quote:

And yes, there is a noticeably large gap on either side.

Yeah i think it abit low too . Anyone already got a double din dvd player having any problem with control and changing song on the screen when Gear change to P .Quote:

Will post some pix when done.
im having major issues getting my clarion VRX785BT into the car atm, the 7inch screen is hitting the a/c controls because theyre so low :( any suggestions???
I didn't get a DVD deck for that reason. The problem is with the double din fascia from Honda, it only can go in one position and there's no adjustment. I think your only solution is to get a custom one made up?

did you dynamat the boot? Do you have trouble with alot of bass and everything shaking?
if so did it help?
cheers
Can anyone give me the exact dimensions (length, width and height) of the double din fascia kit? I wanna know if it would fit my headunit.
And.. is there 2 different types of fascia kits? Like one for sat nav and one for non-sat navs?
thanks guys
Yeah there is,
"I have acutally been able to source the DOUBLE DIN kit through my local Honda Dealer Austral Honda Brisbane.
The Part number for Honda Accord Euro (non satnav dash) is 08B06-SDE-700
The Part number for Honda Accord Euro (satnav dash) is 08B06-SEA-700"
$80
I just got an ebay gps/dvd/tv/radio/usb combination and looking to get it installed soon
So I'm guessing that you haven't actually used your double din kit yet.. would you be able to give me measurements of the fascia kit? Thanks man.Quote:

Nice. How do you toggle. I have an Xcarlink with steering wheel control of its mp3 and a 3.5mm input..maybe I can use that.Quote:

GPS software, it runs Windows CE 5. So any gps software that runs on CE 5 will be fine. They only provided me a demo version so I had to source my own. I run Tomtom 6 on mine.
All I wanted from the HU is xvid/divx playback and GPS. The rest is pretty crap. Bluetooth is crap. It has a TV tuner, but I didnt bother with an antenna because it's only analog and it will have crappy reception anyways.
Not sure if they have upgraded the firmware on it. But playback doesnt resume on files, but it does on DVD. But it's yum-cha, you get what you pay for. haha.
If your an enthusiast or a brand-wh0re don't get these "made in china" stuff.
It's a decent unit, but not the best or great. It does the job for what I need it.
How much was it and where did you buy it from? looks like decent value. I only want the GPS ( TOM TOM) and media playback also. Any trouble getting it to fit the storage box?
It fits with the double din kit, but the face is slightly taller than the hole on the double din. See picture below. See how the bottom of the face hits the fascia? You have to tilt/open the screen to put in the facsia. I was going to write a review on this yum-cha and diy on the install, but i cbf atm.Quote:

cant find view tech anywhere. or i could just be dumb.
edit: ok found it but uh oh overseas ship
edit 2: stupid question, but english compatible yeh? and no probs with GPS in aus? bad question really but gotta ask. and screen quality?
sorry for all the questions
anywhere else to buy yumcha? and roughly roughly RRP?
best source for yumcha is ebay. no prob with gps. just load tomtom with aus maps.Quote:

screen tilts fine. botton of the screen moves forward/down and the top goes back/down just like the other double din hu's.Quote:

let us know what the quality is like. :)
With that 3D map, I think unfortunately you will find that in Australia they haven't actually got the buildings mapped out in 3D and that the feature is largely useless.Quote:

Does the headunit allow the use of a usb stick?Quote:

As mentioned before, this infill G4 fits in great and doesn't knock any of the facia or the gear stick, even when fully extended the gear stick in 3rd will still not touch. I have posted pics of my screen somewhere on the forums, can't find them at the moment thoughQuote:

When you're in drive mode, the screen doesn't knock or hit the gear stick.

This is thread is more about carputers, but it has a few photos of my project so far
There are some pics. on page 6 of this thread -> http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showpos...4&postcount=69
you guys that have the infill g4
Do you have any problems at all with the HU? eg. GPS, TV, etc..
If anyone is selling, please pm me
Might be a stpuid question...but im thinking about getting a double din gps/dvd for my car.
How easy is the install? Is it as easy as finding power, then plugging in a L and R RCA into the back of the stock HU??
also, would it be possible to make a cheap DIY double din slot instead of buying one?
Stock HU doesnt have RCA input. You will need to buy one that connect to the stacker interface. Otherwise buy a harness that lets you tap into the stock speakers without cutting it which will also do the power. I bought the cables that EuroSteve used from ebay.Quote:

Any feedback?
looks mint from what they wrote on the feature.
Hey .QD, got a link to buy that harness? so pretty much, the harness is a 14pin plug, that has 14 little wires coming out right? Then I just solder the ones coming out of the GPS/DVD onto the RF LF RR and LR and then power??
is there any DIY guide to hook a double din to euro?

Ken are you going to kill the stock deck and steering wheel remote once you install this all-in-one unit?Quote:

Basically, Im really happy with stock audio. I really just want a GPS/DVD player in that bottom compartment.
My main idea was to get one, that would fit inside....and still be able to close that lid. I don't exactly like the look of the screen there to be honest. I'd like it to be hidden when I'm parked etc etc.
As for that harness thing, how would it kill the main stock deck and wheel remote??
Edit: I wanted to run the sound though the stock speakers (incase i wasnt clear)
Yeah sorry, I just meant would you not use the stock deck once you have the new deck in. Let me find some pix of my setup, but once you actually go through this thread it will be all clear and the link that EuroSteve just above thats very useful.
My install was:
- Double DIN all-in-one 7" headunit
- 2 x male harness
- 2 x female harness
- 8 gauge battery cable to aftermarket deck
Existing
- Stock deck
- Honda iPod adapter
- Honda BT Kit
In the end they all work. But you can only use one HU at a time. Either stock or the aftermarket. Steering wheel still controls the stock HU. I mainly use the aftermarket to play music clips and gps. Rest of the time I use stock+ipod.
Thanks man. Pix would be awesome. I've kinda filtered through all the pages....but that left me MORE confused. lol
http://myeuro.qrisworld.com/images/H...G_0342-8x6.jpg
Start with this. The harness only does power + speakers. This is why you need 2 pairs of each so you can take some of the cable to wire up the steering wheel remote.
http://myeuro.qrisworld.com/images/H...G_0344-8x6.jpg
Connect them up, solder and heatshrink.
http://myeuro.qrisworld.com/images/H...G_0345-8x6.jpg
All done.
OH man! that looks complicated. Thanks for doing it all up! :D
Pick up a JVC deck and did it over the weekend with the honda Facial.

sorry to be noob but is it not possible to link up an aftermarket headunit to the stock HU with a BUS cable, the connection is underneath the stock HU? and play the aftermarket one through the stock AUX function?
Yep it can be done, i bought an auxilary adapter from these guys:Quote:

and it works perfectly when switching between the stock HU and my Alpine DVD player via the CD/AUX button. You can also do it using an FM modulator where you have one dedicated channel on your stock HU, and tune that to the frequency of the modulator to switch between the aftermarket unit and the stock one. But if you want slightly better quality throughput and save all your radio channels then go the AUX adapter. Plus i think its a bit more of a professional looking job using the AUX button to switch betwen the 2 units rather than using a radio channel.
i just tap the wire to the new head unit.
both my decks are working. Only problem i have is to choose which deck is running FM as there is only one FM radio wire.

It looks like same head unit like mine.Quote:

Thanks people
i did a search for information on the bus cable connectors and was wonding if anyone had details on a wiring chart for the plug. my aim was to wire in my dvd player through the bus cable and use the aux as a relay switch. then using a male and female honda plug isolate the 4 speakers and run them to an amp in the boot. this way i hope to be able to use both the stock deck and the dvd player running the sound through the amp.
has anyone done it this way? any help would be great
