So I hadn't updated this as I didn't think anyone loved me anymore. I was wrong. So the last couple days.. Monday nothing happened. Seriously, my life is not all that interesting. I pretty much sat around, and watched TV. Tuesday I took a nap, then went to school. During school though Rich and I were talking about replacing his stereo with an after market head unit. There is a iPod interface that Pioneer makes that will show artist/album information. Much better than D1 T3 like the BMW iPod interface. So he was looking at compatible HU's. So that night I went home and was searching the Audi forums. I have found out it is possible to move the climate controls down, and make my dash a double din. [Disclaimer: this is a long term idea, I'm not doing this next week!] This means I can add another HU in my car. There is only one option I want. The Pioneer AVIC-N2, a single din navigation system. So I would have the AVIC on top, and my empeg below in my dash. I would want an additional DVD player, so that while I was using the NAV system, my passengers could watch a DVD on the Visor, and 2 headrest monitors. Yeah, that would be sweet. Oh so sweet. Yesterday I went over to Rich's to do a custom install of a new Pioneer DEH-P3700. We didn't want to use one of the install kits out there, so we made our own. It turned out looking really good! It took us some time, but we were improvising on tools to get it done. We took at flat piece of plastic, cut it to fill the 1.5 Din opening, then made a hole for the deck to go through. It didn't sit flush with the dash, so we added a small piece of plastic between the frame of the dash, and the plastic to push it forward as a spacer. That made it look perfect. So now he needs the iPod interface, and we will install it. No feedback yet |
