Default Alpine iLX-F259

Has anyone attempted to install one of these in an S2000 yet?

Dave,

I was looking into installing the Alpine unit you are talking about... I wanted to install the display "remotely" to make it more user friendly. I spoke with an engineer at Alpine and he told me they had not had any success in doing so, because with a longer display cable there is too much electrical interference.

I ended up installing the Pioneer DMH-C5500NEX as show in the picture... no dash cutting required for this particular install (ver 1.0). I still need to install the bezel around the display, and make a few other tweaks.

I can provide more details if you'd like.

I also want to know how you did this. What do you have behind the panel where the old radio used to sit?

my guess is you can mount the screen with a modify bracket with a strong magnet. I used to do that with a nexus 7 tablet and it never budged
