Wow, those are expensive. I have one of these but I haven't installed it yet.
Thanks.
Any recommendation?
I love you, bro.
I'm all stock.
Had my gen 1 MPS 3 in for a major service the other week.
I mentioned that it is making some knocking noises from the rear and I was advised that the sway bar link pins need replacing. The fella...
Excellent tutorial. Used the part specific to getting RCA out of the factory harness. Eliminated double amping as well as static noise.
Didn't bother with twisted pairs as my local JayCar didn't...
lup15, dude your RCA tutorial / method worked a treat!!! The static, whilst arguably still there, is barely noticeable and is quieter at full volume now than it was at 1 before.
The bass is also...
Thanks for the advice. JayCar for the rcas or somewhere else? Maybe eBay?

lup15 currently wired harness to harness. No RCAs.
Yes, loud at relatively low volume levels (adjustable in HU settings).
Static increases as volume increases (slowly) but is definitely...
Thanks, Byrd.
The LCD panel displays my climate control so I kinda need it. But, I've ordered one anyway because it's cheap and I could do with a spare. The bracket I'm using for my current tablet...
lup15, mate would wiring up the head unit like you have done, RCAs to the harness, help eliminate static noise?
I'm getting static on all sources of the headunit regardless of whether or not the...
@Mspec I might be mistaken, but I think there's a sub underneath the passenger seat.
I've had the unit installed for a few days now and it doesn't seem to be any less bass-y than it was with the...
Thanks for the reply, lup15. I'll take a look at that thread.

mate of mine came over and we jerry rigged the old factory head unit mounting bracket to the back of the new double din thing. It's allowed us to mount the climate...

excuse the crappy photo and messy car.
Installed an after market head unit.
Wiring harness all ok (except for a minor grounding issue).
Would be nice to use the car's aux in ...
How in the world do I connect the factory bose sub to...
ive disassembled it again to try to figure out this climate control lcd issue, but the head unit is installed and the tablet is kinda secure. I could pretend the job is done but there's plenty to do....
I've got something like this which I've modded to fit a tablet, but now I'm having trouble mounting the LCD display that sits below the airvents. The pictures show a little lip at the back ... do you...
I'm currently working on a Nexus 7 2012 install in my 06 MPS 3.
I got a single din centre dash kit to house a single din above my air vents and a double din housing for where the stock unit goes....
Thanks, Nepharius.
A little scared off, but will definitely continue to investigate.
You weren't rude, don't worry.
Windows CE is indeed rubbish. I'm pretty keen on Android. And yeah, the Android head units are still rubbish and still running 2.3, unless you shell out for one of...
Fair call, Byrd. As I said, I have no idea what I'm doing. I just want a tablet in my car as a fairly permanent fixture. Amp and sub replacement sounds expensive ... any idea on rough costs?
...
So I want to replace the stock head unit with a double din fascia fabricated to fit a 7 inch android tablet that has 3g and fm radio.
I'll probably hook up some kind of RCA level controller or a...
Yeah Byrd, I've looked into jailbreaking iOS devices and sharing the GPS from my Android via bluetooth and it's definitely do-able but I'm not sure how seamless it'll be and I don't know if the BT...
