Question about the fit of the HU

I also have a DNX8120 and the JDM trim piece for this install. Ill be doing it in the next couple of weeks. I dry fitted the HU and found that a good sized gap was present. How did you get rid of this issue? Yours looks great!

i think they use a piece of mdf pad, and sand it down.. but you can double check.

Does your steering wheel have a button to answer the phone? If so, were you able to program the PAC/headunit so that you could continue to use it to answer the phone?

I have a question. I don't have the kenwood but, I just bought the Pioneer AVIC-700BT. I haven't installed it yet, but was wondering about a few connections.

Parking Break, and Reverse Gear Signal Input. This is what the radio is asking for. I was wondering if you had the same types of connections to make, and where and or how did you do that. I haven't opened up the radio yet to see what's back there. And for every radio install I have ever done, I haven't had to hook up those wires before.

I have a 2003 Sedan Bose Radio no Navi currently. Thanks!

i really like the dnx 8120, for those that have one are there any dancing eq options that will play with the turner or cd input...also when searching through POI's does it have the option to call directly if you select a specific restaurant?

yeah I have been hearing it. However, with my limited ability right not to get something different. I have to stick with this. Also, they just released a firmware update (july 21, 2008) To fix a bunch of the issues people were complaining about. Pretty much everything except long boot times.

http://pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/S...+AVIC+F-Series

I haven't installed it yet, but I will do this right away. My deck was built May 2008, and will not have the update on it.

If anyone could help out with my other question of where would be the easiest place to find the Parking Brake lead in my 2003 Sedan. That would be great. If I have time, I will try to get this done after work today.
