looks great man. i just ordered a double din yum-cha model from ebay. How did you go with the wiring setup? Did you use the aux cable with the double din facia from honda or make up your own like most installs here?

cheers

heya thanks for the compliments

i didnt use the aux cable...couldnt wait to have it installed...lol so i went ahead with making my own cables up. stock head unit doesnt have speakers any more...can still play stuff just no sound =p coz the double din head unit i installed has usb, ipod and aux capabilities aswell so i dont need to use the oem head unit to listen to music

hey
im having trouble with my double din pioneer dvd player in mine. i got a jvc
amp running of the head unit to alpine type r speakers but im getting this
engine noise. its only humming when the engine is on but works fine when
engine is off. i tried grounding it better (very thick grounding cable, sanded of the pain, added a second cable from the battery to the body even ran a secondary ground cable to the negative terminal) but i cant seem to get rid
of the humming noise. i can hear the indicators and even the breaks through the amp speakers. help need b4 i go mad

not quite sure whats happening there but when i installed my aftermarket head unit....i taped into the speaker wired hoping that i could run buth units (ofcourse one at a time) but even with one running and the other one off i got this static sound so i just choped my speaker wires and connected it to the aftermarket unit.

i wired new speaker cables to my speakers and ran new RCA cables to the amp. i was told RCA cables can cause this but these were mid price range sony RCA which shouldnt cause this.
any ideas on what else i could try?

guys need some help here. wired up my OEM and new 7" dvd screen in parallel. As i tested, the OEM worked fine, but as soon as i turned on the 7", everything went dead. I disconnected the 7" and still nothing on the OEM. have lost radio and HVAC controls. Checked fuses and the radio 20A fuse is still intact. where do i check next?

cheers
