great way to save mod money.  kinda like paying it forward....to yourself.
 
I'm sorry to leave you hangin'  I had allot of other stuff to do and didn't have the info handy, but here it is.

They can be ordered @ MAPtech Enterprises

$55 + $20 for LED lighted (blue,green,red,yellow) + $15 for brushed aluminum.
You can chose lettering above or below opening.


I don't even remember who turned me onto them, but they are ultra cool  (y)  and if I wasn't getting the Avic Z2, I would be getting one of these.

Keep us posted if you get/install one.

:wave:

Yea it took me about 5 mins to make the decision after you showed it to me.  :cool:  Can't wait! I had a blue LED light strip at home so I ordered the one without the glow. But it still comes with the see through so you can add your own glow.
 
Lookin great Spike my man! That mount is going to look awesome!

Thanks! I was pretty excited after it was all over. That was pretty big for my a/v skill level.....which is 0  :rolleyes:

AVDiver pm'd me with some great info though and help. Tonight I instal the Alpine speakers.  :D  We'll see if that goes as easy.

 
Well guys I have some frustrating bad news......I haven't tried to play a cd in the head unit yet until tonight. Yep...........no sound when I play cd's.  (n)  The radio works just fine but no cd sound. I tried 3 different cd's and you can see them playing and the time counting down but no sound. Anyone have a clue? I guess I hooked up a wire wrong or something........how frustrating.



:rolleyes:    ???

UPDATE!  :D  Well....with the help of Byron and Crutchfield I got it working. Seems I hooked one of the wires up wrong...  :rolleyes:  Is to be expected from a first time install.

Back in buisness now! Thanks Byron!  :wave:

( I'm getting this dash bezel on and off thing down pretty good now )  >:D
 
congratz on your successful install.  if all that was wrong was one wire, thats pretty good.  you'll be doing all of your own mods in no time.
