Default Harman/Kardon Drive+Play

Just installed this installed this in my 05. I'm still working on a few details like hiding some of the wires and so forth, but the LCD screen and control knob are installed. Overall, I'd have to say that I LOVE this thing. It mimics the iPod screen almost exactly and you control it the same way as you would the iPod.

No need anymore for CD's. I'll try to post pics once I finish everything and find my camera charger. I Definitely recommend this as I found it to be the best looking and most finished product available for iPod interface.

We sell them at my shop, they are great for the price. I just put up this huge banner for it that our JBL rep stole from Circuit City.

Yeah, those things are GREAT. I was going to get one for my finace's Civic, but $200 was a bit rich for that car. I just went with a standard Logjam interface.

Where did you mount the knob? Looks like it would be kinda outta place on the S2000. I would see it in a beamer (with its iDrive knob) or a M/B with a plethora of other knobs.

John, you could do something CRAZY with this....I would love to see the LCD molded into the A-pillar of a vehicle!

Pics?

Oh... this would look so cool molded in so many different places

I'm doing a customer tweeter mold job right now that's coming out so awesome!

If someone buys this and wants me to custom mold it into the A-Piller, I'll give you a discount for being the first one.

FINISHED!

And I must say...it looks AWESOME!!!

I mounted the control knob on the center console right behind the gear shift in between the hazards switch and roof switch. Not directly in between, but towards the front of the aluminum near the shifter. It fits perfect there.

First, I took the center console out and took apart that one aluminum plated piece piece (which is really just plastic underneath), drilled a hole into it for the wire from the knob and fed the wire underneath the console. This way it is seemless with no messy wires hanging around. Very clean looking.

As for the LCD screen, I put that on the right hand side of the gauge cluster directly above the temp control knobs. It sits real nice there. To hide the wire as best as possible I routed it along the edge of the dashboard around the temp control section, to the steering wheel and down below underneath the dash, finally ending up behind the driver's knee panel. I used black silicone to adhere the wire to the edge of the dash area. This left me with a clean look with a wire that is BARELY noticeable. Worked perfect.

Screen looks great, knob looks and works great. In the words of Lt. Frank Drebin who had recently swam in raw sewage, "I LOVE IT!"
