Looking for other ideas for these awesome eagle eye leds. While I had the hatch plastics off to remove the wiper (oh yea btw I removed the wiper) I wanted to add some light in the rear....like some serious light.
So I did this. Will have power by this weekend. But for now they're mounted and ready for hookup.



My measuring paper lol.









Made sure it clears the handle strap and where it bolts

Pioneer AVH-....POS lol.
It's ok for a basic deck but I kick myself for not stepping up to a nicer one.
It randomly turns off and restarts sometimes. I have no idea why. Need to bench test it.






Makes a big difference in sound. It's like it finally breathes life into these bose speakers.....remember the owner before was an old geezer so these speakers were never abused. Don't worry I'm still getting aftermarket sub and amp later

Looking forward to the rear hatch output pictures.

I have got the same deck and it does the same exact thing. I have also found it to be a bit slow on responding to simple tasks like changing the track when hooked up to my iPod and pulling up the phone directory via BT. But I say for the money, you cant really beat it. I will for sure be up grading when I get a good 800 bones to throw at it though.

Next up.
Checked out the Swiss cheese mod but instead wanted to do my own functional ram air mod.


Sad part is I only need about a foot of this 8 foot drain piece. Eh only $1 a foot, I'll find a project around the house to use the rest.


4" drain tubing routed to the bottom of the bumper. 4" deck drain. Shopvac foam filter surround.





Mounting bracket painted.

Did you get the bypass switch for that head unit to make the DVD work without having to deal with the e brake.

Yea I paid $150 for mine new at my last job with employee discount. But I don't work there anymore so I gotta save up some big money for a new deck now too.
The plan was to upgrade and throw this one in the wife's car, but she would've been pissed if she's jamming out and it just shuts off on her, and rightfully so. So back to square one when the time comes.
Haven't played around too much with the USB and aux because I hardly drive this thing. Steering wheel controls work great. Haven't tested the cd player. And it is on the slow side when starting up.

Haven't checked the DVD player. But that is on the list. I'm all about watching movies while driving.

Too many lines that you are talking about?
