I got mine in last night.. So far I like the unit, I need to change some of the menus still. The buttons are tiny... Starting to think I may need to get the steering wheel controls.

Also... The radio reception is terrible. I'm curious to see if you have the same problem.

I also need to order the Iphone AV\audio cable. I was thinking I could do everything through bluetooth. which you can, but no video.

It does sound a bit better then the stock radio.

Now I just need to get the rest of my system and then go for a ride to NJ to see Big's !!

I have the iPhone/iPod cable, parking brake bypass and AXXESS for the steering wheel control. I got a message from Tony at CFE and said he would try and ship out my double din kit on Saturday. That means Tuesday at earliest for my install. I'll get the harnesses all ready ahead of time though.
Keep us posted.

Did you connect the blue wire from the antenna adapter? I was not going to connect it, as I thought it was for a power antenna feed. I did some research and found this on a reveiw for the antenna adapter made by Spiral Audio:

"Worked perfectly in my Altima just plug right in to the existing antenna adapter to get an standard antenna plug. But, you must attach the blue wire it to your head unit on either the blue/white remote turn on to get the perfect reception."

Hmmmmm. I thought I read somewhere to ground that blue wire...

No! Read the diagram on page 78. It goes to the BLUE wire on the HU harness.

You were right. Much better heheh

Audio reception much better.

So I heard today that if you don't hook up any rear speakers it puts the power to the fronts. Ot sure if that's true or not. Still sounds pretty awful on stock speakers.

I'm going to end up getting the steering wheel cable. The buttons on the DDX 719 are to small to be playing around with in traffic. Even if it is just for the volume.

I'm wiring in my AXXESS kit right now. It all seem pretty straight forward.

I installed it today and steering controls work, both the volume and the phone pick-up and drop with the aid of the AXXESS ASWC. What a nice HU. Simple and easy to use.

I also decided to change the LED's in the climate control switches to blue while I had them out to match the start switch and the blue display I selected on the HU. Slowly but surely changing out those annoying amber lights.

Looks good! I need to take some pics of mine for comparison. Tomorrow maybe.

Are you able to change the illumination color of the headunit buttons to amber?

Yes, you have a good slection of colors to choose from for the display and the buttons.

Daylight pics...

My most enjoyable mod to date!
