i finally got the proclip (gift exchange) but i only asked for the vehicle mount because i was just gona use a universal holder....i wasnt sure how long my ipod would last since its the older version and it is also a whole lot cheaper than the proclip ipod holder!!! ...plus you can adjust the holder to any other mp3 player...i think!

here are some pics.....








i also got this!!! yeah!

 

Has anyone used this(or similar)set up for installing a Sirius sportster or similar free standing sat receiver. Is there anyway to take advantage of the pre-wire that exist in the trunk to tie my sportster into rather than taking the dash apart?????

 

ok so if i have a 03 sedan but dont have sat radio/ the aai nis2 wont work? if not is there anyway around it? any help would be awesome

 

bradakrez or anyone knowing for the 6MT are the instructions quite similar to removing the pieces like the auto such as like are there any instructions that i should know before removing the stick and the panels, anything that i should look out for?

thanks for the info i will do it as soon as i can, i got the pac-aai-nis2 w/SWC-X, nav2go converter, ps2, ipod and want to install it at one shot without removing more than once =D

 

hey brown man...check this thread by real g....i think this will help.....

Hey I just finished installing my AAI-NIS2. I couldn't have done it without the printout of your install! Thanks for the quality post.

(My ProClip is on the way...)

 

I have to hand it to you Brad...that was the BEST DIY guide I've ever seen. I followed the entire process with ease, and I have very little mechanical inclinations. Nice job.

 

Will this work with non-Bose non-sat system? I only have basic CD changer.
Thanks in advance.

 

Someone asked this back on the first page of the string and, unless I missed it, I don't believe it was answered.

I assume the Navi itself won't interfere with the socket in the back of the head unit that the ipod interface is supposed to go (figure it either doesn't plug in to the head unit at all or plugs in elsewhere).

But will there be any difficulty in exposing the back of the head unit, using the steps illustrated, if I have the Navi?

My PA11-NIS is in the mail and I'm a bit concerned about my planned DIY....

Thanks in advance.

 

Just installed my PA11-NIS in my '05 OEM with Nav.

Thanks for the detailed instructions.

No real problems. Hardest part for me was actually getting the head unit back in. I didn't find it easy to just shove the adaptor back there and stick the radio back in, as some had described the process. Finally just crammed the adaptor to the bottom of the space, below the lip of the opening for the head unit. Got it to go back in but the only way I could get the bottom brackets flush with the frame was via cranking on the screws. I was concerned I might cut or pinch a wire back there somewhere so I connected the battery and had everything running while I tightened. No problems, fortunately.

I ended up running the ipod connection cable up through the gap below the ash tray when it's open. I can get the ashtray to close but it's snug. Nice thing about where I've placed it is it's loose enough that I can either pull out extra cord or shove it back in up to the head of the connector to keep the cord out of the way.

 

i just did my gf's car this weekend. thanks for the great writeup. it was a lot easier than i thought. i drilled a small hole on top of the radio (that small compartment, she has no navi) and place the ipod there. i'll try to take a pix this weekend.

 

*good stuff booked

 

Hey guys...If I do this mod, would any videos that play on the MP3 player play on the Navi screen? If not, does anyone know what I would need to make this work? Thanks.

 

bump and sticky please...
