...good stuff

Okay, I'm DONE. What do you guys think?

I also got some videos that I will upload later but they came up kinda crappy because my bro couldnt hold the camera very still and it was a really bumpy ride going about 100 on a 35.

that is one crazy mod, I love it
Good to have to see if any cops are behind you too
Nice job bro

looks great man, hey stun where did you get your single din and how much was it?

ya looks good, did you just take out the key opener in the trunk and put this thing in? how did you wire it, the wires in the kit look pretty short

by the way how much was that camera? i think i would want one of those on the front, so i dont bump my front bumper into stuff that much...

very nice - now try to fab a hood between the lens and hatch handle so you don't get the inner silhouette on the video feed...

I purchased the single din from for Autoleads for about $50 shipped.

By the way this is the part # FP-11-02

Yeah, I removed the trunk lock assembly because I simply dont use it since I have remote entry. Removing the trunk lock assembly is a piece of cake. No tools are required, all you need to do is push up on that little BROWN plastic clip with your fingers and the whole assembly comes off. I attached a picture below for viewing purposes.

Yeah, the wires are pretty short but all I did was purchase longer wire from my local RadioShack for about $5 for 20 feet. I only really used was about 3 feet because I wired the 12v to my AMP that is already located in my trunk and I just grounded the BLACK wire to the nearest screw.

I purchased the cam for $169.45 shipped from SavingLots. Check it out...

thanks stun

nice

Thats awsome.. Its always good to watch your back

thats sicc

thats fucken cool

wow...that's pretty neat


my moms RX330 already has it stock

haha nice check engine light

ha ha, cool idea, but since you can already see out the back with the rear view mirror, the camera would have to have night vision and crazy zoom to make it worthwhile...then you could really say,"i can see the cops from a mile away"

shweeet, you must have so much fun with that. know you can finally ditch the rear view mirror

Damn you, you stole part of my idea just playin, thats hot man. I love it! I just hope you dont pick up on the rest of my idea

^^ X ray lens??

u have pm

u have really rare parts , i just checked ur profile . Where did you get the jdm headlights ? did you have any problems or had to adjust them ? On the other forum , they said jdm headlights show the light like reverse " v " . thanks

i also check the website for single din but they just give info how to use single din , could not find a place to buy that part any info ? thanks in advance

Isaac I think we got a new install!!!



Great Mod!!

damn, that's cool!!!

Actually, the camera has a built in light that turns on as soon as it senses darkness and works visa versa in the morning, sort of like an auto dimmer. It works GREAT in the mornings especially today because its really sunny out. I mean the quality isnt the greatest at night but you could definitely see everything behind you. Ill take some pictures for you tonight.

Well, I got the DHA-S680 DVD Changer as my main video source, the Rearview Cam as my 2nd option and I'm thinking of an XBOX or a PS2 as my 3rd or maybe a Navi but they are really expensive.

DAMN you guys notice everything

I got my JDM headlights about a year ago from a shop around my area called Cartunes. I really thought a lot about getting them for awhile because of all the bad things I heard about them, the main thing being that they beam right at the opposite direction \ \ instead of away / /. However, one day I stopped by their shop and they had them on display and I fell in luv as soon as I saw them. The owner of the shop sold them to me for about $200 because the left headlights housing was cracked right where they get bolted on but I fixed it with some crazy glue and its been holding on ever since, its been about a year now. I guess I got really lucky because I heard they run for about $200 each or even more. As for the adjusting, to tell you the truth, I didnt. They make it seem really bad but it really isnt. If anything I think they beam up instead of the opposite direction but again its nothing that will cause you to get a ticket or at least I havent yet.

Well, I purchased mine over the phone but remember it's an international phone call or you could send them an email. I totally recommend them. They got really GREAT customer service.

stun

one more question , i have the head unit like yours, can you play anything on ur 5.6 lcd screen with that head unit? i might plan to get jdm console and screen but not sure what can i do if the head unit is not gonna show anything i think you have a dvd player right, where did you put your dvd player , under the seats or inside the trunk ? thanks man for the replies

Okay whew!

thats tyt

DAMN now I wanna know what ur putting on as ur video source. Not to rip off ur idea but just cause Im curious. This is really killing me, you gotta tell me.

Youve got PM
