when i ordered my car i had a month time to think about my project. In my previous car were DLS'es, Clarion and RF Sub installed, i wanted to something more
when i got my car, first thing was to remove original crap
and add some mate
sound install was nothing, at same time i had to think where and how to install PC related stuff. cable hideing and anything else must be hidden what is not needed to see. And of course some cables are needed to be installed
Tweeters were first, who found their place
install was allready begun but my touchscreen arrived two days later. so now we should figure out how and where to install it
as you'll see, there's no room for that :nw: but that's OKEY. we can make room here. Say hello to Margus, who is sawing my dash
Now it fits
and of course, we cannot wait when install is finished... we must boot up pc and take a look at monitor. Nice....
got rid of center canalization
Next thing - Carputer. tried three or four different places but finally found the right and nice place for him
In meantime Sub was installed
Margus took my Clarion and locked himself to one little room... and he came out with that
If you take a look at monitor place then you will see, that there's no room for HU, not even a very little space. so where to attach it? of cource to an pointless empty speakerroom in centre. a little sanding and clueing and new place is done
it would be nice to have an sexy place for touchpad mouse. You can choose: stroke your girlfriends knee or your sexy mouse
now comes the hard part - Monitor and combo drive install. had to make housing by yourself
Finished dash. below the monitor is CDRW/DVD-R
you'll see small keyboard and 6 in 1 card reader in glovebox, and blue is a gift from Microsoft- their cordless mouse
almost finished, last cable works and ....
... well done
install took 3 weeks and i'm very happy with final result.
