Eclipse Avn 6000 - Double Din Installation

[Trav33]

I've just brought an Eclipse AVN6000 for my R33, looks like it'll be a nice unit, but a little tricky to install.

The brackets from the stock double din tape/cd/radio look like they will screw into the side of the Eclipse unit. However the Eclipse looks like its slightly smaller in height. I believe if i put the dash on, there will be a 4mm gap above, and 7mm gap below.

Any ideas on how to make a cover to hide this gap?

Has anyone had similar experiences when installing a double-din unit into an R33?

We usually just make up an plastic surround.

Looking at the way the unit is mounted in a Skyline, i guess this plastic surround would pretty much hold itself in place, maybe just a few dabs of silicon behind the surround to hold it there? Then the dash will push down on top and keep it there?

no glue needed. its a press fit usually.

My next dilemma...

does anyone know how much the "converter cables" costs for the AVN6000 to allow you to get RCA output?

Is there an eclipse expert here?....

Is there a difference between an AVN6000, and a "Toyota AVN6000" ?

I'm wondering if i've been sold a Toyota unit, because the harness came with plugs at both ends, and the unit does not appear to have RCA outputs.

[Chris Rogers]

not really an expert but toyota and fujitsu 10 have been doing business for years and I dare say they are the same unit..

The AVN6000 comes with the RCA output cables included in the box with all the other Audio Visual input and output cables. If you didn't get them, check with the dealer you purchased it from.
