I have to agree with everyone here, that is an excellent install!

I have an iPhone too, and I think I will eventually upgrade my Alpine CD/MP3 deck to another Alpine but with A/V and iPhone compatibility.

Here's a quick video of the setup. audio is a bit out of sync don't know WTF happened during encoding:

Looks good D.

That must be a pain opening the glove box each time you want to change channel.

What software do you use to get the movies to your Ipod? I have some that I use now but not sure if it is the best. Movies can some times be a bit grainy.

Cheers

Actually I probably won't use the TV a lot so I don't mind it being hidden away. I prefer to listen to music or if needed watch all the stuff I've got for the iphone (even when I watch TV shows they're generally not live and don't have ad's).

I use handbrake, absolutely rules for creating ipod/iphone content DivX and whatever else you need.

I'm thinking that when I start commuting in the stag that I best get an iPod dock installed.

I have the iPod Nano (3rd gen), wonder if you can get docks to suit them?

I like the idea of having it mounted in the front ashtray and hooked up to the stero and tv for h.264 playback.

Anyone know a place in Sydney that could do this fitout?? Crankin' Car Audio??

There are lots of docks available. I found them all while looking for my solution. In the end the boys here ordered a cable form Melb so I didn't need to get one from overseas like I thought. The cable I got will also charge the phone as that was important to me (being a phone and all). I beleive it is universal and will work with all ipods. The cheaper ones don't charge. I went with the cable becuase I got them to build a dock in the ashtray but Andy bought himself a nice dock that doesn't require any fitted attaching to anything (just clips on) - he's using a similar cable to mine.

yep they used a cable from stinger. they are a decent cable to use and quite generic. its when you want control that things change..

bisebee ,

$3-400. depending on the time I spend on it. that said I can probably do it here if I had the entire panel to work with.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
