For the folks who don’t want to scroll the whole thread (GET SOME BANDWIDTH!) I re-listed the details of my I.C.E.
I really wanted Navigation in my car. Having seen the JDM version with the cool screen cut into the dash I knew this was the way to go for me. I found a pic of the JDM version online. I reversed the picture in Photoshop so it looked like a LHD version. I took the pic to my installer and asked if he could make my car look like this. The shop who did all the work is right outside Philadelphia in Montgomery County. The are experienced and do incredible work. There is usually a hot car there getting some incredible show system in there. He custom molding the bezel out of fiberglass and bondo and intergrated the frame of the monitor so it looks really built in. I could go on and on but as they say "a picture is worth a thousand words" My site with pics of my S2k If you get a chance go by and see the BMW X5 they are currently working on! Sound City Odyssey 239 S. Easton Rd Glenside, PA. 19038 (215) 572-6419 Ask for Dom Just got the car back (a day early I might add) And words do not describe how happy I am with the way this installation went! I brought in a picture of the Japanese version and asked him if he could make it look the same. He assured me with the utmost confidence he could. I have used these guys for years. if he had no doubt, I was in! Now on to the good stuff Head Unit Alpine CDA-7977 CD Player with silver finish and custom brushed aluminum trim plate. Screen Alpine TME-750 6.5" Monitor Navigation Alpine NVE-852A DVD Car Navigation System DVD Video/CD Changer Alpine DHA-S680 6 Disc combination player Amp Zapco Studio Series 2 way 300 Watt (150X2) Speakers DynAudio system 240 2 way component 7' Mid (they call it a Woofer) Subwoofer: Custom made box with a removable extruded steel grate/ 12" Alumapro Alchemy subwoofer.

You've got BALLS!!!! I chickened out, on doing the same thing but I was going to use the Honda Odessey's honda (alpine) monitor. I was quoted 1000.00 to 1800.00 to have it installed like yours -the factory look) Nice job--looks great. Does the monitor come out if it breaks??

Hey Mike, I'd love to see the finished job done in person> Since I saw yours I'm actually now considering doing the Nav addition. I was used to it in my last car. I had to sell the Alpine Nav, DVD, Mini disc becuase it wouldn't fit. How much for the install and did they leave any scratches on the dash?? Let me know:)

excellent work man! I'm impressed.
thinking if you did a kit, you'd have to offer exchanges in some sunweathered dashes and some garage kept dashes. that might not work, but if instructions were given very cleanly, I'd be up for the task, although I'd like to know what a new dash would cost before I takled the job. -------------------- Out of town with the OTC crew April 5th through the 14th, but will be in contact via email and PM's. |

what's your visa # shaner? =) $340 isn't too bad for the entire thing but I wouldn't want to just waste it away if I happened to mess up. |

looks great. What would be really cool is if the shop could use what they cut out and make it a cover... to conseal the screen.

Just got the car back (a day early I might add) And words do not describe how happy I am with the way this installation went!
I brought in a picture of the Japanese version and asked him if he could make it look the same. He assured me with the utmost confidence he could. I have used these guys for years. if he had no doubt, I was in! We are discussing the best way to do a cover, probably something with a vinyl to match top. Now on to the good stuff

I'm so impressed by the way they got the inlay molding to contour to the dash. Was that custom? or imported from JDM?

Can your shop make it a cut, plug and play product for us? I am sure it would be a great Group buy if it is available.
