Trav33 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I've just brought an Eclipse AVN6000 for my R33, looks like it'll be a nice unit, but a little tricky to install. The brackets from the stock double din tape/cd/radio look like they will screw into the side of the Eclipse unit. However the Eclipse looks like its slightly smaller in height. I believe if i put the dash on, there will be a 4mm gap above, and 7mm gap below. Any ideas on how to make a cover to hide this gap? Has anyone had similar experiences when installing a double-din unit into an R33?

Fhrx Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 We usually just make up an plastic surround. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/131503-eclipse-avn-6000-double-din-installation/#findComment-2438633 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trav33 Posted August 26, 2006 Author Share Posted August 26, 2006 We usually just make up an plastic surround. Looking at the way the unit is mounted in a Skyline, i guess this plastic surround would pretty much hold itself in place, maybe just a few dabs of silicon behind the surround to hold it there? Then the dash will push down on top and keep it there?

Trav33 Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 My next dilemma... does anyone know how much the "converter cables" costs for the AVN6000 to allow you to get RCA output?

Trav33 Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 Is there an eclipse expert here?.... Is there a difference between an AVN6000, and a "Toyota AVN6000" ? I'm wondering if i've been sold a Toyota unit, because the harness came with plugs at both ends, and the unit does not appear to have RCA outputs.

Chris Rogers Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 not really an expert but toyota and fujitsu 10 have been doing business for years and I dare say they are the same unit..

The AVN6000 comes with the RCA output cables included in the box with all the other Audio Visual input and output cables. If you didn't get them, check with the dealer you purchased it from.
