You covered up the cup holder area? How did you get the material?

He happens to have a Tiida, so that's just how they come.

Master Jemdawg, given that I have the voltmeter, I will just check each wire for both harness and put them together if they match.

thank you.

I'm not sure if you're following me.

You can buy a harness so you don't need to test each wire, this harness plugs into the harness coming from the car, and all of the leads are labelled. Call up Best Buy and tell them you need a wire harness for a '92 Sentra, they will probably have it there.

Ummm.....personally......NO ONE SHOULD WATCH A DVD WHILE DRIVING. I'm sorry but that's the reason they have that where you can't watch it. That is how a huge disaster would happen. At least that's my opinion.

Agreed, videos are only to be played for passengers while driving.

That bazooka looks nice, it barely takes up any space, I've always liked that about them. I just recently ordered a Hifonics sub to replace my Viper, I'll try and upload pics when I put it in, if I ever get my camera back.

I've got my DPX-701 installed in my car. For those wondering, the SL wiring codes are not the same as the S codes. I tried wiring it up using the codes that Jemdawg gave for kicks, but it didn't work. I ended up taking it into a stereo shop to have them install it since I was short on time. I haven't had time to check out what what's wired to what, but as soon as I do, then I post those codes.

XterraVersa, just take the part numbers and do a search at Amazon.com they should have them and get them to you AND as soon as our website is up (we will have a banner here when it's online) you will be able to get them from us.

Hope this helps.

How is everyone getting the RCA's to install a amp and sub in the Vesa? I don't want to change my headunit because I have the bluetooth integration and I can't seem to find anyone who make a adapter.

You need line output converters, HILO converters specifically in the case for a subwoofer, for an additional amp. Some mono amps, Alpine makes a few, have speaker level inputs for cars like the Versa. You simply tap into the speaker's signal and the amp will run off of that.

I did that in my last car, until i bought a new HU. I wasn't pleased at all, very tiny sound. I had a sony 800w 12" xplode/800 watt xplode amp. I immediatley noticed the difference when I added the new HU using the sub-outputs.

anyone come across the antenna adapter yet?

I was afraid of bad sound from the converter. I saw JL Audio has the Cleansweep and Rockford fosgate has a product called 360 which is also a eq/active crossover as far as I can tell. i just don't want to drop $300 before even buying amps. A bluetooth/steering wheel control adapter to replace the stereo would suit me fine.

I tapped off of the rear right speaker. It didn't sound bad, but it's a PITA to tweak. Adding a subwoofer should be paired with a HU with preamps in my opinion.

After more than a week of non-stop phone calls and internet search engines, I've come to the conclusion that the Antenna Kit has not even been released. Everyplace I've contacted says the #'s in their system, but they've never had any in stock or even seen them. It's not listed on Metra's site either.

weems84,Could you give some detail about what you put in? Thanks
weems84 wrote:JUst put a new set of components in the front. Infiniti Kappa perfects. The stock peakers are 2 ohm and most components out there are 4 ohm. So if you don't change your head unit or amplify your speakers it will sound like crap. I do not want to change my head unit so i went with the 2 ohm infiniti's. $299+tax. Don't use 4 ohm speakers if you keep the factory head unit!!

Well, I had my HU working fine (for 2 days) and I even bypassed the parking brake. But when I got into my car tonight after work... Nothing. It wouldn't even take a disc. It was working fine earlier (I was watching some music videos on my way to work on an SD card). I guess I'll have to check the fuses first then my connections. God I hope I didn't blow the unit - I can't really afford another $400.

It is more likely to be a blown fuse or bad connection than a blown HU.

Yeah, I rechecked my connections and I got it working again. I drove around for about 30 minutes then went back home, it seemed to be working fine. A few hours later I went to go out shopping and it wasn't working AGAIN. Guess I'll just have to take it to a shop.

Sounds like some wire is loose, either the 12V or the ACC.

Well, I went through it again, removed the crimp connectors (I don't trust them, connection-wise) and went at it with good ole fashioned electrical tape. Now the unit (after working AGAIN initially) seems to maintain a power connection, but the buttons stay illuminated even after turning off the car AND removing the key. Which is really odd because I didn't switch any wires, I just re-wired them one at a time. Gonna check on it in a bit, to make sure it turns off eventually, my luck it'll kill my battery.

WTF is this? I simply cannot win.

FOR Southernwayfarer.

I bought the component set set from frys electronics. http://www.infinitysystems.com/caraudio ... AP&Cat=COS (link for speakers).

These were installed by them...I know how but i'm lazy.If you keep the stock head unit these speakers are great. 2 ohm great quality sound. If your gonna change your head unit or amplify your system...GET WHATEVER YOU WANT!!

Also recommend getting a sub, got the 8inch bazooka tube from circuit city for a good price. Installed that myself. have pics of the completed install on this topic.

hope this helps.
