Double Din Touch Screen DVD/Navigation/iPod System (eBay Edition)

Do you need to leave the card in the slot or does it just load from that slot?

Mine is installed! What a freaking nightmare!

The basic install was not too bad. I had to slot the original mounting brackets as the radio set too far forward. Once I did that, the install was easy. I mounted the GPS antenna on the black plastic filler under the wipers. I already had the XM radio antenna mounted there. The GPS antenna is similar in size and shape, and both blend in very well. Photos are below.

The manual SUCKS! It took me forever to figure out how to pair my phone to the radio via blue tooth. Then the GPS came up in Chinese even though the language was set to English, and all other functions were in English. Finally figured out the GPS didn't know where to find the software. After programing in the sd card to the gps, all is well!

On mine there is a pink wire marked "park". This wire must be grounded to get a dvd to show up on the screen.

Here's where my XM antenna is mounted.


Here's the GPS antenna mounted there as well.


Here it is installed and running.


And here's a photo of the back of the unit.


I'm having a drink now!

Hi, i'm wondering how you mounted the GPS antennae under the wipers as id really like to do this but I've not really don't much in tinkering to cars! Did you have to drill a hole or 'grommet' somewhere to thread it through?? (I don't even really know what a grommet is!).

Also...does any one know if the pre-loaded GPS software is upgradeable? OP said he put different GPS maps on a bigger card - how do you get the maps?

cheers for any help guys,
Amanda

P.s. I'm about to go install the HD now yippeee

I don't know. I need to test that tomorrow (was getting dark on me). There are 2 slots, one on the left and one on the right. On the right one I have my music, videos, etc. The left one has the GPS software stick in it. If I have to leave it, I don't mind. It's not in the way.

I have a 2008 and 2009 sedan, will this work for me? What parts do I need (silver plastics) to cover / go around the unit
