Check this out, this guy has an 03 as well.

Awesome...thanks for the link. I'll have to wait a little bit before I try out this mod just because I'm out of cash at the moment. I'll be sure to post when I do. Any other members tried this one yet?

Here's the next little project that I plan on installing myself tomorrow (Friday, 09 Jan 03) afternoon...

I also have a four channel video amplifier. I plan to tap into a 12v source somewhere in the center console and then run the wires under the carpet to the seats. The Wet Okole covers will be great for hiding the wires without any modification to the seats themselves. The covers will also fit over the mounting bracket and I'll cut a small silt in the neoprene so that the monitor will be suspended without the big plastic stick you see in this example.

I'll be sure to post pictures as soon as I've finished the work.

Yeah well I lied about waiting to buy one. Found it at Buy.com for $40 as opposed to 70 on Crutchfield. Should be here in a couple days but I might not have a chance to install it for a while because I'm taking a trip up to VT over the three-day weekend and I'm stuck here at school (don't get out much from the Naval Academy) against my will for most of the week. As soon as I DO make progress, though, I'll be sure to post!!

Hell yeah man...did you watch the game this year? Colder than I've been, but we just embarassed them all over the place.

Over the weekend I worked with my roommate and we installed a 4-ch video amplifier and two pyramid 7.2" monitors that sit behind the headrests. I used wire taps and splicers from Advanced Auto Zone and would recommend that chain for your electrical/wiring needs. They have some useful solutions for taping, etc....anyhow, on to the picture:

Hey man...sorry I skipped over your post. Are you refering to the HU adapter or the actual radio itself?

tooxshort · 01-14-2004, 06:23 AM

Oh, thanks for responding! haha ... I was actually referring to the adapter (i think?) ... I was thinking american international? I'm trying to find a good housing for my tv deck ...

A few companies have come out with adapters in the last couple months....search the forum for american international to find a thread on it from a month or two ago and you should be able to get the part number. As for mine, my installers just ordered it for me. Good luck!

Eric,

How's your alternator/battery holding up with all the additional accessories/load?

Have you looked into a large alternator and/or a deep cycle battery?

I think you meant to configure your sig to read 15Jan04.

Also, thanks for the note about my profile....you were definitely right

That aftermarket steering wheel remote adapter really work? I'd hate to give up that function on my "04 Sport.
