Not a close-up, but it's an old Alpine,maybe 2 or 3 years old. I got it for free, my friend got a bike and gave his car to his brother, I traded him a gold oil cap from my bike and he gave me the headunit, and 20 bucks:icon_bigg

that is a clean install of that HU what where and how did you do that

[MassSupra89]

ND I bought an install kit at Wal-mart with the plug and play harness for a total of like 18 bucks, We ripped the HU out of my friends Mountainer breaking numerous tabs on it, and the kit comes with 2 side pieces that screw onto the HU, they slide into the stock brackets holding the OE radio. Same with the pocket underneath, it just squeezes inbetween the brackets.

I had my dash and everything out yesterday doing my tranny fluid I should have taken pictures. I will for you when I get back from work if you want.

[NDBoost]

interesting so you went to the wal-mart and got a specific dash kit for our supras? Or was it a universal, the guys at best buy told me there is no such kit for our cars and i would have to use my stock brackets and some shitty universal kit.. i was like wtf?

It was a universal for most 80's/90's Nissans/Toyota's/and some other imports, worked pretty good, with some squeezing it went in no problem

I love the old HU it's almost the exact color of our stock gauges but alittle brighter. I'm not too heavily into audio with this car so it does what I need it to do. I was gonna go with a 7" touch screen flip up screen... but I realized I'd rather spend the $900+ elsewhere.

[trydrew]

Alpine HU, pretty basic. Doesnt even play MP3 CDs, but ive got an ipod w/ itrip that takes care of that.

Illumination. Like someone said, Alpine colors are pretty close to stock illumination color.

It gets the job done i guess.

:love: those blue gauge faces :)
I've got an alpine cda-9830, but Im too damn lazy to put it in. Besides, my supra doesn't even run yet :-P. I think I'm gonna sell my CDA with my truck and buy a double din touchscreen to fill up the whole opening in the supra :)

I got a Pioneer Premier DEH-P860MP:

For the money, it's one of the best all-around decks you can get. One of the main reasons I got it was for the 13-band EQ built in.

I also have the IPOD adapter hooked up, and the XM radio hooked up too.

[Turbo. Targa. Life.]

phoo on pioneer premiere.

[Fuzz420]

i have a pioneer 9400p, sorry no pics

If anyone really wants one I would gladly help them find all the parts they would need. The hard part is the install and setting up the software so everything works smoothly. For about $1000 you could build the pc, navigation, dvd/cd player, tv tuner, fm tuner, touchscreen monitor, wifi, 5.1ch sound, etc...

[dcrusupra]

I think u just found a new product to sell on driftmotion, lol. I'd buy it.

[s383mmber1]

EDIT: forgot to say--You mean I could have one of those for $1000? Who do I make the check out to? lmao

[s383mmber1]

You must have paid a pretty penny for that bad boy!!!!

[SupraDerk]

Nah, altogether it might have cost me...$200ish and I don't even think it was that much. A little know how and a little guts carry you a long way! Heh :biglaugh: And I only blew one fuse! The turn signal for whatever reason...

You wanna give me a personal write-up and parts list? :naughty: PM me, please. :)

-Matt

[SupraDerk]

Sure, I was thinkin about just makin a write-up thread...well more of a parts list and here's guidelines of what you do, seeing as how there so many combinations of parts you could use to make one. But I guess I'll do it in a bit, gotta find some food. I'll PM you a draft and if it comes out good enough, I'll make a thread.

-Derek

[mattjk]

You need to make a glass trim plate like I did on my wrx

ARE YOUR SERIOUS!~

I was expecting at least a grand! It plays music and shit right? I soo want this NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SupraDerk]

I did but it's kind of tight behind the Supra's console trim so I either have to do another one, which I really...really don't wanna do....or get a little creative :naughty:

ARE YOUR SERIOUS!~

I was expecting at least a grand! It plays music and shit right? I soo want this NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As a heart attack! Yep, it's setup through the car's speakers...took a little bit of time but I finally got it setup right. If I was on a faster computer I would make a video and upload it but on the one I'm on now...that would be an all day affair...

-Derek

[s383mmber1]

What runs the computer? I want one soo soo bad!

[Big Wang Bandit]

I just got a Sony GT350. Its pretty fuggin awesome. Its MP3/WMA compatible(dont plan on using that much...) Has an AUX imput up front for easy use of the iPod. Its a flip down style so I had to cut away at the trim piece aobve it so it would accually flip. Im thinkin about puttin blue LED's behind the dash and in the AC controls now to match the head unit lol.

[DyslexicSquirrel]

OK.. I'm Drooling Now. I did a search for LED's and this is what popped up. OK bigaaron and supraderk... you guys need to team up and create a kick ass write up or something.

[MassSupra89]

Haha that's awesome. I love the rotating Toyota emblem on the music player too.

Here's mine -- for now (This photo taken the day after I bought my car, the previous owner installed this deck after the factory one packed it in, it's an "Audiophase" unit, probably $50 at best buy or something -- the install looks very clean from the outside, but I'm going to poke around under the dash there, and hope he used a snap-in harness, or spliced the wiring nicely behind he connector. I've got my interior ripped apart at the moment to install new drivers in the doors and hatch (the stockers are totally hosed). I bought Kicker KS40s for the front and rear, since they were what was available locally for a decnt price, and I really just wanted something that didn't sound rattly and horrible. Pulling rear speakers tomorrow, going to see if I can fit bigger drivers than 4" in the factory locations, and exchange my 4" for a set of 5" New deck on order, should be here in the next couple weeks or so. Should be a massive improvement over best buy deck :P
