I just got the F0 error on my cd player is a 03 sedan, and i've reading about it but i have no idea of what is a double din set up... can somebody help me out and clarify that....please. Thanks

 

It's the modification to the console and AC that allows you to install an aftermarket head unit.

 

Also...you need it whether going single-din or double-din.

 

Is that something that you can buy? where (link)? I'm guessing that would be like a new center console, no? because that's all attached together...


And, what do you mean Callaway, i don't understad your post... sorry, could you be more specific....

Thanks guys.

 

basically this is what you need:

ac controller
dash
double din head unit of your choice (preferably eclipse or pioneer)
pac-swix (to retain your steering wheel controls)


you can buy the ac controller and dash from riversideinfiniti.com or PM tony@riversideinfiniti.

Installation typically runs around $200 at a good audio shop.

 

So, if i buy something like this:


and the radio, would i still need to buy all the other stuff you said? wouldn't the ones i currently have work with the new one?

Thanks


yeah... you right.... about posting that....

 

oh schnapp...you shouldn't had posted that, everyone's going to try to jump on that. It's been in back order for the longest time.

 

You need the DD kit and AC controller if you are doing any kind of aftermarket head unit.

 

Grubbsperformance.com apparently has the AC controllers back in stock.

 

Hey guys! Thanks a bunch for your posts.... just to update on what im doing. I just bought the Double Din unit with AC controls and the Pac swix on eBay, DD 300 and Pac swix 50. so it's $350 so far, i was not expecting to spend this money, so im not sure about what kind of head unit to buy. I might end up getting a DVD with navigation ipod ready. Any suggestions for a good new one??? (not too expensive)

 

That's good to know, now i need some cash to get a kit AND pioneer avic.

 

You should have waited until you chose your head unit. PAC makes some specific units for certain makes. For example, the PAC-JACK works with JVC, Alpine, Clarion, and Kenwood HU's and hardwire into the back, whereas the SWI-X is universal and uses an infrared emitter that you must mount on the console.

It's univeral? so wouln't it work will all kinds of head units? So if i get an JVC or kenwood HU would it work? Thanks

 

Yes, the SWI-X is universal and it will work with all units with a remote control. However, it is an external device that beams the steering wheel signals to the HU via infra red transmitter - like a hand held remote control. You must mount the IR transmitter so it will have a clean line of sight to your IR receiver on your HU.

The HU specific models hard wire into the rear of the HU via a jack or wire. There is no IR transmitter to mount and theoratically, response time should be faster.

 

I got the avic-d3 installed with the pac swi-ps, the ipod conector in the glove box and the double din set up... nice. They charge me 180 for the install, ill post a pic soon.

Thanks gilley for the tip on the pac swi-ps.
