The only thing I'm afraid of is these new nav units don't let you use the E brake ground trick so that you can watch video while driving. I don't watch while driving but my girl loves to watch Sex in the City while I drive. If I can't do this then Not only will I not do it, but she would kill me as my current kenwood can do this.

 

Correct.



MAYAman does not want in. I have dibs on MAYAman's console.

 

LMAO u guys crack me up I had the same gig going when the ladies where driving in my Grand Cherokee only it was How to loose a guy in 10 days and Mean girls lol man did I look like a H0M0 when my buddies would get in and go do you have any movies in here lol.

I will check this tomorrow, Usually this is only a problem with the aplines the engineers decided to get trick and throw a gryo type deal in there that way no matter what if it was moving it was a no go. Good news though they are things you can buy to get around all of these motion detectors so don't let that be the deciding factor.

 

some of them still use the switch thing. but yeah the one with the gyros dont let you do anything and if you try to change it it fries the whole unit

 

from what i hear the pioneers still dont have something to fix the gyro problem

 

ntrikit, You only quoted half of what MAYAman said. The ground trick works on any head unit that calls for a ground off the e-brake. How else would they have you do it. The old, old, and I mean OLD, Alpines made you wire into both the e-brake and the foot brake and apply the foot break, then engage the e-brake and then release the foot break but they gotten rid of that design in the more recent years.

Glad to see people fighting over getting in line for these though!

 

yeah! you know im still in line for one haha

 

Which part of the omitted part changes the point?

--He is saying that the new units do not allow you to use the E-brake ground trick.

If I can't do this then Not only will I not do it, but she would kill me as my current kenwood can do this.

--He is saying that since his first statement is true (or so he seems to think), he does not want a custom console.

 

My apologies, I read it wrong. It sounded like he was making a statement that he is afraid the new head units won't let him use the e-brake trick meaning he is unsure. My bad.

 

Anyway all this aside it works just fine here is a picture form one of the Acura forums of the install (with the grounded BYPASS) and with the matched interior color. LOOKS BA rad3.jpg

 

thats the only thing i dont like about the w205 is that it doesnt have a tv tuner

 

I accept.

..

 

man i like how those gauges have 0 at the bottom. it looks real nice. i also love red gauges

 

i know. red gauges would be the go. especially with a red,or black , car.

 

I am in for this. It looks awsome. great job guys.

 

I would love to have this console in my car....

Just say the word!!

 

If there is a double din unit that lets me let my girl watch DVDs or play Xbox while I drive I'm still in. I need these functions to make my life not suck. LOL

 

Great project, were do I send my original one....

 

This weekend I will be working on busting out the pillar pod with RC, If all goes well we will start the group buy hopefully monday. Details will be arranged as well

 

oh yeah! totally awesome
