Back with a few little updates! Been on the job hunt for the past few months so progress has been a little slow to say the least lol.
First of all, I replaced the Pioneer HU with a Dual Touchscreen (yeah go ahead and bash me for it lol) but I got it on
eBay for $68 because the little front screen doesn't work so it was a good deal for now... plus, I have a Power Acoustik crossover on order which I'm going to run my iPod directly into instead of routing it through the HU.
Hmm what else... well I finally managed to get the speaker guards painted.
Painting the visor screens, have two 15" roof mounts on order as well
Going to mount the iPod on its own little stand projecting from the front of the center console, so it's right in reach. It'll be hard-wired into the car and the audio signal will come from the line-out dock connector instead of the headphone jack like most others.
Doesn't look like much now... this is the basic idea
Miscellaneous crap
I've been searching all over the internet trying to figure out how to have the iPod and headunit both wired up to the sound system but be able to play them independently... nobody seemed to have a clue how to do this so I came up with the preamp/crossover solution (which the iPod needed anyways) so we shall see what happens //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif
