New double din install

solo413 · 05-23-2016, 10:11 AM

Hi all, I am new to the forum and to my Z but the factory head unit in the base with sports package was not getting it for me so I changed it out this weekend with alpine one-w960 very happy with it so far!

Original radio

Lots of wires lol

Rear view cam cables

Finished

Im using the maestro aswc, it is supposed to do the steering wheel controls and OBD2 for the digital gauges. The place is doing it for $99 installed since the install is beyond my skill level.

I as a little overwhelmed with mine specially since the steering wheel wouldn't work I will check out the kit you are doing thanks

Nice. Looks clean. Make certain that the tech returned everything back. Apparently there have been some water in cabin issues post installs.

Thanks Nixin I will take a look I installed it myself but I will take a look around though.

I noticed the carpet was wet in one that test drove before I purchased this one

Here is my new unit, Kenwood dnx793 with maestro acsw, and hd back up cam.

I originally was going to get the obd II unit but I had a strict budget of $1000, so I just got the unit with the steering wheel controls and it works flawlessly!

I love the screen layout and the fact I can back up with confidence!

Thanks

I wrapped it with orange Kevlar/Carbon along with a few other pieces in the interior. Take a look at my journal and it has some pics.
