Had a Yukon Denali for a few days....gave it back to the customer with all these goodies installed:
Pioneer DEH-P6300BT Fold-out DVD player with Navigation, Bluetooth and iPod/Pandora
Backup Camera Custom installed in rear panel
Custom 2nd Monitor Installed in Lower Dash Panel Area, Vehicle Info Center relocated to center console
Rear Overhead Video Unit custom installed with LED lights
Had a customer come in with a 2001 GMC Yukon XL.
Purchased products from one of our suppliers that recommends us.
Jensen Fold-Out 7" DVD Player
Jensen Bluetooth Adapter Kit
Jensen Aux/USB Adapter Cable
Jensen Back-up Camera
All in all it went great and customers were happy.
Not bad for a few hour night-time install!
Cheers!
Had a good friend of mine come in for some audio upgrades to her Jeep Liberty.
New deck with iPod, HD Radio, Bluetooth, and Auxillary input.
Kenwoods lineup fit her needs perfectly.
For sound, I hooked her up with a 400 watt Digital Designs 2 channel amp pushing two 12" Memphis Street Reference Subwoofers in a slot ported box.
Amp is mounted under the seat so it's hidden and out of the way....and the subwoofer box can be unplugged so the full rear can be used for storage/hauling.
Overall, I'm impressed with the output of the Memphis Street Reference subs and the simplistic design that the DD Audio amps have.
So Ryan left over the weekend...which allowed me to have the truck.
Round 1 of installs went like this:
JVC DVD/Navigation/HD Radio/Bluetooth/USB Reciever
Bluetooth Mic installed in Gauge Cluster (so you don't look like you are yelling at the top of your windshield)
Satellite Radio installed to reciever
Backup Camera installed near hitch reciever.
Ryan has previously been painting EVERYTHING on his truck two-toned black (new limo black, that has some candy in it). So the middle console area was taped off and painted as well.
Been trying to knock out a bunch of projects, as well as keep up with the day-to-day jobs that come in.
Had a friend of a friend come in with a 2005 GMC Sierra pickup.
Wants a DVD player with iPod controls, Bluetooth, Satellite Radio, steering wheel controls and DVD Playback bypass.
Enter the Clarion VX400 coupled with a Sirius Satellite Radio tuner and a PAC steering wheel control interface.
This was a pretty simple install, just alot of wires to be fitted into the dash. After a little weight loss therapy (see last photo below) the DVD Player and all the components fit like a glove!!
Cheers
Had a customer come in with a AVIC unit that wasn't cooperating...so I decided to assist.
After an hour of troubleshooting, came to the conclusion that the Scosche module to help integrate an aftermarket unit into the stock system was bad. So I informed the customer that I can hardwire it in, but he'll lose the ability to hear his turn signals and chimes throughout the vehicle. Since he was cool with that, we went forward with the install. Once the deck was up and running, we installed the included Bluetooth mic up in the A-Pillar, facing the driver; as well as mounted the included GPS antenna for the built in Navigation up on the dash.
Bypass the X930BT so that it will play video while the unit is in motion. Standard 'ground the parking brake wire' doesn't work with these new units, so you have to figure out how to bypass it AND trick it to think that you AREN'T driving when you really are.....ahh the joy's of electronics!
Customer was happy, install looked great....and...the best part..I got to use my Credit Card app on my Droid......BEST PURCHASE EVER......I can now accept charges with Credit Cards, using my smartphone....it's amazing! Full blown business now.
Cheers
Knocked out some things holding me back on Memphry today.....old tint was stripped and some new hotness was put on. Biggest difference that I can tell....old tint was old, peeling, and had a blueish tint to it.....new stuff....BLACK....perfect!
Got all the pillar covers back on (was waiting to get tint done so it was easier).
Installed the rear 6x9" speakers, and routed the wires to where the new 4 channel amp will be. Got the rear deck lid put back together, so now we're good there.
Got the front tweeters mounted on their custom made mount and they fit perfectly...should make a HUGE difference, as the stock tweets simple sucked.
Got the deck installed (not permanetly yet) with auxilary wires for future expansion. iPod cord ran into the glove box since the Kenwood deck bypasses the iPod screen so you don't need to look at it while cruising through your music selection. Installed the Bluetooth mic by the compartment above the rear view mirror....this way the driver can speak clear towards the mic without adjusting his head and more importantly, being safe whilst driving.
Got all the RCAs for the 2 amps ran, as well as the CAT5 cables for the 4 channel knob to increase the DBs if needed.
Snaked new wires through the factory boots into the doors so the speakers will have plenty of wire to power them. All of these new wires are snaked under the factory carpet and tucked away nicely.
Good weekend....on to the next one!!
Cheers
Family member got a new vehicle, so we had to start throwing new electronics at it.
New JVC Touchscreen DVD player with bluetooth, iPod, aux and a boatload of other options. Sat Radio is temporarily mounted on dash (will be getting a hidden unit soon).
Cheers!
Got to Project Liberty today.
2003 Jeep Liberty
Pioneer Deck Install with Steering wheel controls retained and Bluetooth
Arc Audio XXD 5 channel amplifier
Infinity 6.5" Component Speakers up front
Arc Audio 6.5" XXD Coaxial Speakers in the rear
Arch Audio 10" XXD Subwoofer in a sealed carpeted box
4 gauge amp kit to make sure everything has enough power
Jeep sounded good once everything was tuned and the customers left with a smile on their faces...so a success!
Cheers!
