My Diy: Double Din And Shift Knob

[Geoff0110]

Hey guys,

I just finished my upgrade with a double din kit and a nismo shift knob, here are the pictures.

parts involved:

1. JDM double din kit: frame and AC control (from US ebay). I soldered the dual control button myself as well.

2. XTRONS touch screen head unit with DVD, Radio, SD card, GPS, TV, USB, Ipod control......(from ebay australia).

I connected the brake lead to the ground so I can play DVD even when I am driving, but I know it's dangerous.

3. Beatsonic BOSE lead (from Chris), not METRA 70-7551 NISSAN FACTORY AMP INTERGRADE HARNESS.

4. nismo manual shift knob (from US ebay)

I also ordered a Nissan Antenna Diversity Adaptor (from Ebay Australia) for the radio, but it is included in Chris' Bose lead kit, so I had a spare one now.

That's it, enjoy!

Good work dude, looks nice!

Could you post some pics of the screen in use, playing DVD/nav/TV - im always curious to see others....

oh, and dont worry about the DVD part, i watch a movie on the way to work and home almost every day.

EDIT: Oh, and you should bring it to the V35 meet next week - it would be good to show it off!!

good to see you got it all in. beatsonic piece works a lot better than the hack attempt of the metra item.

standard issue from me when you buy the full kit.

Any problems with the xtrons I'm looking at the TD717 for $210 but I can really find anything on them so I'm really worried bout buying one

[57iks]

do you have the stock slide up monitor in also? any problems with fitment?

[Chris Rogers]

fits fine.

Did this on my V35 at the start of the year same head unit and same face kit and buttons i didnt install it myself had the guys at newcastle pro sound do it, cost me around $800 all up for full GPS and RCA cables to the TV tuner to play DVD's on the OEM screen with GPS on at the same time.
