Had a buddy of mine that was in need of an upgrade.
Wanted a deck that would allow him to do everything he wanted but wasn't sure what was available.
JVC to the rescue. This JVC KW-AV70BT Double Din Multimedia unit does it all; coupled with a KS-U30 Video iPod Cord and Sirius' SXV100v1 Tuner Kit, this deck will do HD Radio, Satellite Radio, Bluetooth, Pandora, USB and SD Card reading, as well as DVD Playback with future expansions of a backup camera. This deck doesn't offer Navigation out of the box, but with a simple download of JVC Navigation App on his smart phone, the owner will have a fully featured Navigation unit as well. With a few Metra Vehicla Specific parts, this big beast fit nicely into the 2009 Nissan Frontiers Dash.
Had a customer come in with some Power Acoustic Dual DVD Player Headrests he wanted put in....but he also wanted a way to integrate in his Xbox when needed.
Simple .... I hardwired in a 300 watt Stinger Power Converter and custom mounted a Stinger "Game Plate" in the existing spot where his un-used rear audio controls were.
He was somewhat ok with just having the built in FM Mod for sound throughout the car, but I informed him of iSimple's latest products and he was IN. Now he has crystal clear iPod audio input, as well as a Mini Jack audio input and hardwired DVD audio.
After all the dust settled he can no Listen to songs from his iPod, Listen to the DVD player that is showing off his new Dual 8.5" screens, as well as plug in an Xbox and play video games on-the-go.
Pretty cool road trip upgrade...his kids are going to love it!
Pretty simple install......Subaru WRX STI with stock headunit gets a Pioneer P2300 dvd headunit install....customer will be back to add Navigation.
Bypassed the video lock-out feature with a relay so customer doesn't have to keep flicking a switch to bypass everytime.
Had a customer come in with a Crown Victoria and a Pioneer AVIC-903BT.
Solid little unit, and he plans to use it to it's full potential.
He has an iPod with a stash of music and videos....we the aux inputs will be on most of the time.
These cars aren't meant to have DDin units installed in them, but after a little Dremel action, she fit just fine.
Got the factory DVD viewing disabled, so he can watch his DVDs, iPod video and enter navigation changes while on the move. After some troubleshooting, we figured out that he would need the Pioneer suggested ipod cable so he can watch videos from his iPod....other than that, simple install.
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!
Well, it only took us 2 months, but I've finally brought on what I think is the top company for all my mobile video products (minus in-dash DVD and Navigation options).
This company only deals with dealerships directly, so this is what would have came in your car, had you had the option...basically.
Had a close friend's family bring me their 2010 Toyota Sequoia wanting some headrest DVD players.
Got her my 7" Dual Headrest DVD Player options.
Dual 7" Screens in factory matching leather
Dual DVD players
Dual Headphones
Dual Everything
All this hides away like it was stock, and work perfectly.
Hit me up if you want to know more about this awesome brand and what they will look like in your ride!
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.
Had a sweet lifted truck in today. Owner put on all the mods himself, but decided to have Trax do the system. Got alot going in, so it was a full day.
Truck looks and sounds good now.
Clarion DVD player with video bypassed, iPod input and steering wheel controls (coming this week).
Arc Audio 3 channel XDi amplifier pushing
(2) 10" Arc Audio XXD subwoofers in a custom made box that fits under the rear seats and
Hybrid Audio Technologies Imagine Series 6.5" Component Speakers
Invision Dual DVD player headrests
Custom LED lighting in Dome light and under each persons' feet area.
Custom mounted Backup Camera
Cheers
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
