Expect around $300 for installation.Still a bit rich. Hopefully the prices will fall soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Basher_tsv Guests Posted 06/02/04 02:04 AM Share Posted 06/02/04 02:04 AM Very nice indeed !For those with just standard sound (or is it prestige?) with the 6 stacker in-dash and standard screen ... how hard is it to upgrade the screen to this for dvd input? I assume the whole console would need to be replaced because of the difference in screen size? Or am I stuck with having to put a screen in the passenger airbag position in the dash On the ceiling isn't an option in the ute and I was totally unaware of the premium sound option when I bought my ute - thought 6 stacker indash was the ducks nuts Oh how I have missed out B.

Swapping the ICC is not an easy or cheap thing. Your best bet is to get a screen mounted just above the ICC where the analogue clock normally goes. I have seen installs with a screen mounted there.

Guest Basher_tsv Guests Posted 06/02/04 04:51 AM Share Posted 06/02/04 04:51 AM That is where I have my boost guage ... Will have to go with my idea of the space where the passenger airbag goes (if you got one). Thanks for the info though!Cheers,B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect around $300 for installation.Still a bit rich. Hopefully the prices will fall soon.That price seems reasonable to me, considering what you get. After all the StreetPilot III has colour screen and voice prompted directions aswell and their $2795RRP, although being portable means no install fee.

I may ask how much it is. Maybe it'll end up cheaper because I already have the required interface etc installed. The bloke that installed my dvd said "The wiring is in there now, all you need is the sat nav unit..."On a side note, I noticed a dead pixel on my roof mount screen. I'll have to find out what the warrenty is like with 1 dead pixel. I know that with TFT monitors for computers some companies won't replace unless it is more than 3 or 4 pixels and depends on location.. Oh well, will find out tomorrow hopefully.

They considered 1 dead pixel clearly unacceptable. (Unfortunately that unit got stolen a week later when some basta*d vandalised the dash in a city carpark!)zeke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just the nat unit that sits in the boot as well as the interface required to hook it up to the screen. If you already have the interface then I assume you could knock $500 off the price.I still think its a little rich. Ford should offer their unit as an aftermarket add on. and Ive seen this unit on the net for Just under $2K AU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
