First of all, the unit I bought was the Kenwood DNX-5140 with Garmin Navigation, CD, DVD, Ipod-ready options. Would STRONGLY recommend this HU.

Here it is brand new.


First Step was to cut away some excess plastic inside to be able to fit the HU in. I only had to cut the piece off of the top.


The Cd player now fits in the hole, and I made up some brackets with some of the stuff that came with the HU.



Next, I made up all of the wires behind the deck. While I had everything apart I ran a 4AWG power wire, a set of RCA's, and a remote turn on wire under the drivers seat for when I get my amp and subs. This next picture is where I mounted the sensor for the Garmin GPS to work. I put it right over that speaker hole since I dont have the Infinity Sound anyway.


Here she is all hooked up, playing a track from my Ipod.



I didnt feel like doing anymore today, so Im gonna finish cutting, fitting, bondoing, sanding, and painting the bezel tomorrow. Ill keep updated with more pics.

 

Looking good so far!!

 

looks really nice man. i really want to do this...

 

good job so far man. i think ive seen a few guys mount the gps antenae under the center hole. shouldnt make too much of a difference in reception, and stays out of sight.

 

Looks great dude. I would love to put one in but I really love my steering wheel controls and dont want to loose them.

 

wonder if this can be done on the new style dash??

 

looks awesome man. Got any pics with everything put together? Kinda curious what it looks like inside with the console put back together.

 

yea you just have the to buy the nav bezel. so easy...

 

cool thanks bullet

 

On the back of this HU there is a wire that you can use so that your steering wheel controls will still be functional.

And no I dont have any pics of it finished, because thats all the father i was able to get today. Ill post the step-by-steps and the finished product tomorrow.
