Atjo, did you install the headrest yourself? If so, how did you route the cabling through the seat?Quote:

My friend installed it for me. Basically you take out the seat than take out the back side of the seat. You can easily route the cable after you open the back side.
Nah, it actually works out good, plus I don't spend much time in first :pQuote:

E Honda's fascia looks better than the Honda Fascia. I tried to fit the Honda fascia on the weekend for the IVAW200E but it does not look good as there are gaps on the side. Might make a custom fascia out of fibreglass or be plain lazy and take it to the shop to do it.
That makes me feel so much better knowing that the Honda fascia wasn't a good fit with an alpine unit, im glad i went with the custom/lazy install through the shop :)Quote:

Heres another pic with better lighting.
Going a bit off topic, I'm thinking of getting the GPS add-on for the Alpine IVA-W202E. I got quoted $899, just wondering if anyones installed it or got it cheaper?
Also, i'm getting an auxillary adapter over the FM modulator since i've heard it provides slightly better quality. Through Honda its around $50, can anyone backup this info?
Is it possible to interface the steering wheel controls with the dvd player as well as the existing honda unit?
Just got a price for the Non-Satnav Fascia (08B06-SDE-700), $84.80 @ Honda Homebush, nice! Will be buying that this week. Also ordered me the harness connector that EuroSteve ordered so I dont need to cut/splice the factory harness and will be making my own pass-through connector.
Will be buying/installing something like this, as I've mentioned on previous post. :)
Dual zone output, but just really want it for GPS and DVD/divx playback, can always switch back to factory headunit + ipod for audio.
I ended up getting the GPS installed and works really well. Apparently the auxillary adapter from Honda only has an Ipod interface, which is useless to me. I had to go with the FM modulator to get my existing 6 stacker unit working again with my DVD player. Does anyone know if theres an after market auxillary adapter available to do this??Quote:

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
