I had an electronic technician resolder the dual climate control component on to the JDM ac circuitboard. Everything works perfectly and it looks like oem. This is how this dash kit should have been made. Sound Wave in San Carlos, CA. did an excellant job with the install of the Alpine W505 with navi, xm, hd radio, and ipod integration.

 

It's a simple procedure to do at home if you have a soldering iron and needle nose pliars.

 

True... my first solder was my PS2. The points are so small on it, I had to file down the iron tip. This AC controller looks like a piece of cake.

 

so you just had to buy the metra in dash kit for 150$ and a alpine indash and soldered the old AC component to the the circut board of the new dash kit?

 

There's no Metra kit used in this install.

 

Looks very clean! Are you using stoxck speakers??

 

Very clean. I chose the Metra kit version. Should be here mid week.

 

so what find of dash faceplate is that?

 

JDM as stated in the title.
