That is cheap as. Do you still get to keep the trip computer eg petrol usage etc??

Also how long did it take them to install?

[T4NK]

Yep i keep all the stock gear, how it works is the head unit is pluged into the RCA input in the cars TV tuner, it does not work for TV but it does display the output from the head unit like an AV input for a VCR. There is a option on the TV section of the OEM screen called VTR or somthing like that it sets it to AV in short. It took the guys at NPS about 2 hrs to install it all i was lucky 1 of there guys had worked on the car b4 so he knew how to take it apart.

These same guys did a job for a forum member a few months ago. He bought a TV tuner from me & they had no idea what was going on. I had to call them a couple of times to help sort it out.

I think that was where they learnt to take the car apart ! They had the other V35 for a couple of days . Glad to hear it was much easier for you .

hahaha yeh lucky me then lol. But the install is great works well, there was an issue with the face plate of the head unit it gets stuck on the double din kit when it opens i have to help it open but that is ezy fixed just need to shave a bit of plastic off the double din kit. other then that its 100%

DO you still have dual zone climate control?

it seems the button is blanked out

[T4NK]

Mine is not a prem edition it does not come with dual zone, its just reg 350GT cloth seats, if you want duel zone climat you will need to get the approprate buttons with the face plate. The circut board for the buttons is attached to the OEM head unit one so the din kit comes with new buttons just look on ebays for the duel zone ones or you can get it from the link below but its a bit more pricy.

That is awesome!

How do you find the quality of the new head unit? (compared to say, an Alpine)

Quality is great, i only have stock speakers no sub or amps so its as good as can be expected, the GPS works well have no complaints about it at all, im considering changing out my speakers and adding a sub but im not sure if its worth it tbh

[T4NK]

The only thing that i can see that needs to be fixed its the face plate that i bought i need to shave some plastic off the bottom so the head unit can open without me lifting it a few mill up as it catches on it but other then that its 100% and you can shave it down with a file the guys at NPS have a tool to do it also but didnt have it on the day.

Nice,

How many Pre-outs does the head unit have?

My car (I haven't actually seen it yet) has a double din Carrozzeria unit in it and I was thinking I might swap it out for one of these when it gets here; especially if it has 3 sets of pre-outs (like my current Alpine CDA-9886 + Imprint has)

I've found in most of my previous cars that sound deadening is the best upgrade you can make to your cars sound system. Basically more sound waves stay inside the cabin of your car;

Obviously won't help if your stock speakers are knackered

[T4NK]

not sure how many it has tbh. there is a proper site for them google xtrons, may have to ask there support.

NPS have done a few of those cars actually. I supply them with kits and I have sold them three so far. Xtrons = worry..

[T4NK]

Yeh i bought my own kit as i didnt want to pay $500 for one as you can get them for around $330 on ebay. Im not worried about the xtrons it has been great so far, i saved $1700 so even if it does not las as long still a huge saving.

chris, are the kits you sell the JDM ones or the Metra ones? can you PM me the price for one?

thanks

[Chris Rogers]

yes I do sell them JDM OR metra. prefer to use the JDM ones for proper fit though some see these as expensive so I do the metra one as an alternative. need to know more about your car though.

hey chris

i think my chasis number is: CPV35505901

looked around ebay and i may be colour blind but i'm not too sure if my trim colour is tan or silver.

any way of finding out from the chasis number?

i might just get the JDM dash since i'm looking at keeping the nav screen. how should i get in contact with you for pricing?

[Chris Rogers]

show me a photo. bose?
