Car Audio Canberra

[Godzillr]

Hi,

I need to install a new double din headunit to replace my R34 factory unit. After reading through the forums, it seems relatively simple to remove the unit however there replacing the wiring loom is beyond my mechanical abilities!

I know that JB, BDL, Braddon and Tuggeranong car audio do instllations around town. If there are others installers that people recommend, can you let me know?

Thanks

Nick

If you're looking for a professional install (not DIY) head to see Warren at BDL car stereo in Fyshwick. If you like, you can tell him that Anthony Spink referred you and he will look after you, they are the best installers in Canberra, high quality of workmanship.

If you check out their page they have a lot of pictures of installs they have completed, as well as some of their demo cars.

They did my security system and i was not happy. my boot was not locking properly and most of the screws were missing when they took the dash out, didn't put back all the screws in. elite car sound & vision in belco installed a sound system in my cousin brothers car for $3grand and he is happy with the work they did. so if you want give a call to them as well

BDL Fyshwick have done all my Alarm systems - No complaints.

Audiotech - tuggeranong have done 4 full stereo systems - No complaints

Audiotech did my Double din HU and speakers in the 34 12months ago - all is good

They just did my R32 GTR about 2 months ago.

and last week I got them to replace the Airial Amplifier and earthed it, and Connected airial to AC to fix an inherint problem with all R32's radio reception problem.

As Ive used Tony (Audiotech) alot I get taken care of pretty well.

Cant go wrong with either shops. With using a shop you can go back and have it fixed. In DIY's your left wondering if you get it wrong.

Harder then to take it to a shop to resolve any issues.

I'd take it to Warren BDL Fyshwick if your new, These SAU guys dont praise easily but rag on shops pretty quick if there not happy.

My 2cents worth

*edit* I would never use JB.

[Godzillr]

Thanks for all the replies. My other reluctance to do it myself is that I want it to be neat and reliable.

I will make a few calls from your recommendations.

Thanks again.

call me call me!!!!!!!!!

Dude!

What your talking about can be done with an adaptor for your new stereo to Nissan wiring harness.

So if you can take the old stereo out, just buy the adaptor plug and plug it in. So easy.

Doh!

[Manuel Kasko]

That's why they call him DIY milk

+1 D.I.Y milk

Nissan adaptor harnesses are good.

I used a maxima one in my xtrail and it was sweet til I upgraded again but then I just modified the adaptor harness to suit. It left the standard harness unbutchered.

I just put a double din screen in my stagea and the last single din kenwood unit had been "professionally installed" (just before I bought it) with rounded screws, and 2 reels of electrical tape on poorly soldered connections. Not to mention hot glue gun'd and chopped up metal housing that secured the unit.

everyone knows wazza

[J'son]

Wazza really gets around lol.

Also, yeah get a wiring harness and do it yourself or get verms to show you. It is not worth getting a shop to do it, you need to learn more bout your own car and how to do a basic head-deck change over.

If you have a skyline, it will need work and maintenance... Unless you are made of money learn and do the little easy bits yourself and if you get offered a hand from a SAU pro, dont waste the opportunity.

[Verms]

Its really easy to do and on the skylines there is heaps of room behind the standard head decks!

You can either get a wiring harness which we can wire into the new harness and then you can put the standard head unit back in!

Either way wont take long and soldering the joins makes a perfect connection!

I did my head unit in my 33.. After a massive night out about 1hr sleep and still extremely intoxicated... It works

[r33skylinegtst]

Yeah, not hard to do at all. I've done head deck, sub + amp install and a full car PC in my car not too long ago.

If you decide to forego the harness (it does make it way easier as you can revert back to stock deck or change later on without needing to butcher your wiring loom too much) then pretty sure this wiring guide will apply to you http://www.installdr.com/Harnesses/Nissan-Wiring.pdf Just match it up to the instructions that come with your deck and you'll be set.

i just put a double din dvd into a vx ss and 4 speakers!

went easily and sounds amazing for a near free system!
