Onto tackling the head unit!!
This car came with the non-bose stereo....**** looks old so its getting replaced with a Kenwood double din unit. While Im in there, Im also gonna be installing a back-up camera, ASWC to retain steering wheel button controls, garage door opener button, and a rocker switch to disable all traction. And finally a sub in the trunk.
Since I'm in here, I decided to swap the microswitches for the tiptronic shifter. I prefer pull to upshift and push to downshift. Wires were a bit short so I had to add some more to allow the switch to reach its position.

I initially bought a JVC head unit but later on decided I want something that can also pick up digital radio signals, so I went with the Kenwood DDX492.
I thought the headlights are the same from 03-05...no? Whats different?

Alright...finally finished up my head unit install. This was all supposed to go a lot faster but since my wife took a break from school and is back in town, I did everything little bit at a time whenever I was free. Head unit is nice...has all the usual stuff including HD radio tuner and a back up Camera. Also gives me the option to turn on the camera when I'm not in reverse...which I like.
I apparently bought the JDM DD trim which is for models with navigation. Since mine has no navigation, it left a 1/4" gap between the trim and the storage lid. So I got some spare aluminum trim and cut it and bent it so it fit well and looked nice. I was stuck fabricating this piece of shït for almost a week to get it perfect.
Heres a closer look at the trim. I had to seal the gap behind it with some electrical tape and glue. Im moving on for now but I'll come back to it at a later time and cover the gap with a nice fabric.
Inside the armrest I installed a little switch to disable the G-sensor whenever I wanna do stupid shît. I also installed an adapter which lets me plug my USB stick or Auxiliary cord in for the stereo. Makes it look original....I like!
Heres one shot showing it all.
Up next: Adding midrange speakers to the rear deck along with amplifiers and a sub in the trunk.
