thats right! over 1 year in the making haha. i finally sat down and wired the entire system up today. spent over 10 hours wiring the pigtails from scratch!

this actually wasnt as hard as i thought it was going to be. Time consuming for sure. just basicly pull the colors from the stock stereo harness and match them up to the colors on the navi, then when u get that all done start matching up colors between the tape deck and the navigation unit. not to bad.

i used over 60 feet ov 16g wire and over 90 splice connectors. the entire system is now PLUG AND PLAY to a 99-00 civic hatch. all you have to do is disconnect the aftermarket radio harness and your golden.

i was playing around with the setting for a good bit this thing is AMAZING! it plays cds, casset tapes, even pics up TV stations! also i have the 'brain' media box witch lets me run my ipod or playstation or dvd player or whatever i want.

i plan on picking up a car neo so i can run my ipod off the cd changer hookup and maybe my ps2 off the media box so we have something to do at carlisle if we get super bored hahaha.

i have no pics at the moment because i have no camera. the system was obviously built for RHD because it fits like shit in the dash. but all that will be fixed once i go RHD haha.

the only flaw i found in the system that i have is there a few missing pixels at the bottom of the screen and it gives a short black line across the bottom.

reading other forums online i have yet to hear from some1 that got the cd player working on this system.. maybe there is some out there but i had no problem making the cd player work. also i read alot of people were having problems with the heater and blower boxes. when u would turn on cold it would blow hot and vice versa.. i got mine working perfect. hot blows hot, cold blows cold.

but yes the navigation is in. it works and i LOVE it. im glad i spent all day working on it. next im going to wire my column light tommorrow and hopefully by next weekend i will have all my parts to put the motor in!!! then comes the 5lug. holy crap the car is comming together this year! now im bummin it was a DD and has stone chips like crazy :( and yes i still gotta get that dent fixed.

thanks guys. i gotta piss around with it some more when i start the car i get a hum in the speakers. annoying as shit. i think i already know what the problem is though sooo it just a simple snip of a wire i hope.

i was told the hum could be from a bad ground or im missing a ground somewhere. when i play a tape it works fine but anytime i run anything from the cd player it hums. i think i might know what wire i need to ground. i remember a few i didnt have connected anywhere and usually ones with a black stripe need grounded.
