So, I bought one of these HT-9001s model 2 din Ebay jobbies for our Pathfinder.
Egay
Heres how its gone so far
It arrived within 48 hours of payment from an Aussie supplier which was good.
Had it installed today by a local 'Stereo shop'.....got bulk attitude from the shop once he saw the unit as its pretty much an exact copy of the Eclipse unit they sell for $2299.
Anyway he told me this probably wouldnt work and that probably would'nt work and so on before he'd even started the job....I said whatever just fit the unit and i'll sort the rest out later.
Sure enough when I went to pick it up, "We cant get any reception on the TV, and can't get the steering wheel controls to work".....but that'll be $350 for the install thanks......
For $200 the best aerial you can get is a BMW style one for the roof, they also do one in your front and rear bumper $150, and a window sticker one for $100, but all have slightly different connections to the one on the back of the unit.
I also notice the steering wheel control wires are not hooked up at all currently...but again they can sell me a box for around $240 that will solve that problem also.............
I will try in the morning to connect the TV aerial and Steering wheel control wires to check for Bullshit.
But I have another problem with the GPS, it appears to to be stuck on the car stereo installers location which is really pissing me off!!!???
I can find places...but I cannot navigate anywhere as its stuck on there location, and tells me I cannot navigate due to my current parameters or some such BS.....
I have reset the unit, disconnected the battery, reset the satellite feed, taken out the SD card, but everytime I turn the GPS on it shows my location as the stereo shop and dosnt move...fantastic
Any ideas?
Everything else appears to work fine, it syncs with my iPhone, and the reverse camera also works well.
