I know that it worked because after every episode of Bonanza I took a Bayer Asprin.

So I'm experimenting to see if that still works.

I just ordered one, now I know why.

Me too. But I need it sliced and diced so I can have the worlds first ultra widebody f40 on dubs.

Yes both packages came in today.

Installation of electronics in the interior of that car was the primary focus today. We did stick one of the lights in the front just to see what they look like.







That's Kris's arm in there holding the light while I took the picture.

In the mean time, We've Got Tunes & Maps & Video

Rob & Kris still have a long way to go on the interior wiring but they have the amps mounted & hooked up. The radio thingie with navigation hooked up & working......

The mapping system is showing a map for someplace in the LA area because it has now reception inside my building & I'd assume the area that is on the screen is the area where it was tested/built/supplied from.....



This is the Daytime view.......



Night view..........



This is with it's mouth open to eat another plastic donut.



The wiring of all the stuff is a maze.....



We found that the navigation unit had to be mounted flat & level. The only place left to mount it was under the console. See it here at the back end of the console.

My Navigation did the same thing. It was set at some place in L.A. until I pulled the car out to get a GPS signal. but I thought they stopped making the units that require a seperate box a while ago.

It's the new system from Clarion that just hit the market for 2007. The separate unit holds the 30 GB hard drive windows driven system. The nav system runs off of the HD rather than a DVD.

Mine does to, and it is all in the dash. I think My HDD is a bit smaller though. I got the Pioneer AVIC z1

http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/v3/pg/division/demo/0,,2076_310069681,00.html#AVIC-HOME

you can see it in my cardomain page in my sig. I think it is in page 6.


I gotta go check the one you got out. Clarion is a really good brand.

add...

Just checkeed it out. I see why they had to mount your setup like that. I didnt know your NAV was a seperate box. I had that problem when I had an Eclipse setup in my car. I hated having to find a spot for that brain box. Slapped it under the seat and that thang would always get caught when I would slide the seat around.

But your setup is really nice. What does the rest of yoyur system consist of?
