Default Any more pics?

overall it doesn't look bad at all - though you could probably do a more stealthy install of the camera. i'm not savvy enough to suggest one though! the unit itself looks great though i wish they had made the entire face black. wish i could get my ipod to hook up to a RNS-E and display that level of information.

why didn't you go with the Pioneer AVIC Z1? Also where do you live? Your AC is in Celcius.

The eclipse unit is far better then any pioneer. I used to have the Avic N1 and I hated it. Yes ill post more pics later. I have focal utopias in the front and infinty rears. Ipod all hooked up in the glove box. There is no other place for the camera, most people dont even notice it. I used the scosche double din unit and covered it in black ultrasuede fabric.

If anyone knows where the rear wire signal is.. it would help tons!! Currently i just put the backup cam on manually. I tried hooking the backup wire to the fuse involving back lights. But no go. I dont want to run the wire all the way to the back lights because that would involve taking apart many panels. Does anyone know what color wire it is on drivers side?
thanks

Default im assuming you got the unit off ebay too? the prices are pretty good around 1300 vs 2000 retail

was the suede fitted onto some sort of housing unit or did you have to make that custom surround?

Default Did you check out a Metra trim kit? It matches the Audi mat black perfectly...

Nice unit though<ul><li><a href="http://www.metraonline.com/">http://www.metraonline.com/</a</li></ul>
