Here's the questions:

Total hours spent
Total cost

I hope that new Bose unit you put in doesn't die soon either, the 05's are hitting the end of their life expectancy, and you've a lot invested in that dash of yours now.

 

Yea i hear ya,
Total spent was:

$650 on a used unit
$175 on a used harness
$30-$40 on misc wiring pieces like taps, shrinkwrap, electrical tape, tools. blah blah blah.

Total time spent: about 3 days work, if i had a matching harness... maybe one day.

 

Nice job man, are all the features working? Anything not working?

 

And did you have an assistant the whole time?

 

No thanks to my friend tho, he broke down my harness from a huge loom to a basic 15-20 wire harness. But I pretty much did it all myself and prettymuch roughy myself how to read a wire diagram at the same time. It's pretty easy just time consuming. I wouldn't mind giving my number out to anyone that wants to do this. Maybe they could give a better write up with more pictures as well.

 

I don't think anybody would complain about a complete write-up, OEM navi systems are getting easier to come by with more people doing double din swaps and more cars getting totaled out.

 

nice job.

 

i woudl pay you to do this for me.

 

I did this a few years back and was wondering if you ever got the fuel economy to work? I just bought a speedometer cluster from a car with navi but wasnt sure if you solved that problem without replacing the whole cluster. If so, let me know!
