Hey Sayitfast,

Did you need a trim kit like the Scoche for your HU? I just ordered the exact same HU as you and need to know if I should go ahead and get a trim kit?

 

I did not need it... or at least my installer said he did not need anything. I'm really picky about my car as I think most of us are, and I think its in there pretty good.

 

Kenwood DNX8120 w/ black jdm kit. Worth every penny going JDM imho.

 

Whipped these up for my DNX8120. I like to keep things classy and try to match the orange dash color on my 04 sedan.

Pics below of my F90BT install.

Thanks to PeterUbers for the splash screen and info on making the unit flush as well as tips for filling the gap.
This was my first attempt at the gap I do plan on getting another one and making it fit a little better, but this works for now.

I was skeptical about the F90BT after reading many reviews. Overall I have to say I am very happy with it, yes it has a few things I would change but it is a great unit for the money and I have had no problems as of yet.

Installed:
F90BT
JDM Double Din (dual)
Steering wheel control
ipod adapter
Metra 7551
DVD bypass
sub & Amp
mic
Left Bose stock speakers & system sounds great.

MJION... SWEET! Thanks for the thanks -- you did a VERY nice job -- glad SOMEONE could use all that work i spent on the F90bt and put it to good use.

i'm glad the F90bt is working for you -- I really wish I had better luck with it. It looks really nice in the G's center console.

I think i spent more hours working in Adobe Photoshop customizing that startup screen than I spent in the garage putting that POS in my G (mine was a POS, yours isn't)

 

I tried the Kenwood startup screen about 100 times, wont save the pic on mine.

Drove me crazy last summer

 

Did you put the convert file on the USB stick?

 

hey so i have an 04 coupe with the titanium interior and i wanted to order the jdm ac controller and double din bracket from japanparts.com but im not sure which part numbers those items are.

also what i thought was the correct part for the ac controller had grey buttons as opposed to the regular black ones, do they have black buttons?

please pm or enlighten me from my complete confusion!!!

 

i forgot a shot of where my bluetooth mike is located at, it's actually a cool spot to put it, i'll update that later.

 

Seriously awesome interior!!!
