Went from old school factory NAV unit on my 01 Turbo and had the following installed...

Pioneer AVIC 700BT Nav unit with Bluetooth and IPOD connectioni
Euromotorsports double din kit
Replaced factory door subs with Focal 13KS 5" subs, a new spacer bracket had to be fabricated for proper seal. Also stuffed with Focal "stuff"
Replaced dash speaker with 4" Boston acoustics rally components
Alpine PDX 4.100 amp running the dash and door speakers.
Rear speakers off deck power
Cubby below the Nav with IPOD connector coming out of it.


Overall it's a great package. Sounds much improved, 4" bostons lack a little in the midbass department but I didn't expect much from them. Focal small subs actually sound much better than I thought but don't expect 10" sub performance out of them.

The install guy (Cole at Cartoys Bellevue) did a great job! Alpine amp was mounted on factory CD changer spot with modified bracket. The crossovers for the dash speakers are hidden under the amp in factory amp (removed) location.

 

Awesome work.

 

Good choice on the Focal's.....Have you heard the Focal components before? Your new stereo is probably night and day compared to the stock stereo......but don't get me wrong, the stock stereo is nice...

 

I have a pair of K2P in my cars and they sound wonderful.

 

nice deck. I've never seen that interior combo before tho..

 

Nice system, I was actually thinking about the same receiver. How do you like the GPS? I saw some complaints that it takes long to boot up but that may have been resolved with a software update from what I read. How is the ipod control interface?

 

It does take some time to boot up but faster after the 2.0 upgrade. However, you'll hear the radio/ipod several seconds into the bootup even before it's complete. Ipod control is easy, you get a touch screen that looks identical to the ipod dial. Or you can use the **** on the left. One of the nicest deals, I picked up a refurb for cheap. Plays ipod videos as well. I don't use the GPS much but it worked fine when I tested it.

 

Thanks! I love the interior color as well. Very warm and classy.

 

Does the finish on the deck match closely to the factory finish on the climate control, etc? Looking at picking up the same unit. Looks great!

 

The finish of the trim piece is a good match for factory buttons. Both shiny. The pioneer deck's finish isn't as bright but not as dull as the factory trim pieces. So somewhere in the middle.
