  1. I have the RS5 one. [attachment=0]scion splash.jpg[/attachment] Just use a little photoshop skill to change the 5 to a 6. Go ahead and send some money my way
  2. You have to see the IR port of the coverter box because you have to use the remote to change channels. When I said stealth install for my friend, I meant his antenna was hidden in his car. The converter box for his car, as well as my car, sits underneath our front passenger seats. The TV Remote works by pointing it towards the leg space of the front seat passenger. My friend and I both believe it works because the IR bounces off somewhere in the leg room into the IR Receiver inside the converter box.
  3. yes...and RCA cables to your headunit. That's all you need. Well....is your car antenna a coaxial cable? If it is then yes, just wire it your converter box. You'll probably want to get a Y-Splitter as well so you can still retain AM/FM radio.
  4. Well, the thing with digital tuners that is a MAJOR difference from analog rabbit ear tuners...If you have poor-none reception, you will NOT get the channel at all. An analog tuner will pick up poor reception, and display it on the screen with alot of static. So yea, the quality of the reception from the antenna will lead to more TV stations. (Major channels usually have very good broadcast reception quality, so you need not to worry) If my antenna was on the outside of the car...I'd get a quality OUTDOOR antenna. Don't opt for the cheap indoor ones. They make flat, nice, antennas (mo
  5. I got this one: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp ... 1806247493 And that one was REALLY good. It had an adjustable tuner on the baseplate, and it's quite small. The reception was pretty good for the price. It receives UHF/VHF which was important to me. My friend got this one here: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp ... 5217076045 and his is stealth install. It's on the lower part of the window INSIDE the car, which you don't see. It gets pretty good reception as well BUT doesn't get as many channels. I'm wondering if its because its inside the car, or
  6. Antennas can go as low as $6.00 (unpowered), to as high as $50 (powered). I bought a $15 one, that was a flat looking thing, and it's discreetly in my car. Mine's unpowered, so I don't get too many channels, around 30 or so standard channels, and the big name public channels come in extra clear. You can get a powered antenna, but do know that you do have to somehow supply power to it. So if you have like a cigarette lighter elsewhere in the car, or if you know to wire another power source to a inverter/converter, you can get super reception. The converter box is a digital tuner, so
  7. Actually, I have TV in my car using a Digital Converter Box as well. What I did was go to BestBuy, and they have TONS of different kinds of HDTV Antennas you could buy. I bought one that was very discrete, and goes in my trunk. I ran the coaxial cable to underneath my passenger seat underneath, where I have my digital converter box. The digital converter box outputs RCA cables (Yellow/Video, RED/Audio, and White/Audio), and I connected it to my AV2 input on the front of my unit which is also RCA Cable. The converter box gets power from a cigarette lighter, which I use a power inver
  8. You only need the Y-Splitter if you have the GEX P10HD tuner AND you want MSN Direct to work. Otherwise, you can just use the HD tuner to get FM station and be done with it. On another note, the Y-Splitter is painfully obvious to install. Your stock antenna connection goes into the Y-Splitter, and the 2 ends, 1 goes into your avic, and the other into the HD tuner.
  9. you can put a piece of metal over the dash where the antenna is like i said, I don't have a piece of metal lying about...haha

    GEXP20HD

    it's got iTunes tagging enabled. also, supposedly will show the preset name when you save a radio station.
  11. shoot, my GPS antenna is actually underneath my dash...no way to put a giant metal sheet over it....I dont even have a metal sheet LOL well, I use wire taps for the VSS wire, so hopefully its working still
  12. So I've had my avic f90bt installed for roughly a month now. How do I verify that the VSS wire is working? I read that it takes some time to calibrate it, which the headunit does automatically. When I'm driving around, and I go into the navigation system settings to take a peek at the MPH, it doesn't match my speedometer. I have stock steelies, so I know it can't be the difference of my wheels and speedometer. The difference between what it says in the avic and speedometer is off by ~1-2mph Are there any mods, or settings I can tweak, so that I know the avic is receiving a sign
  13. instructions from pac: http://www.pac-audio.com/swixprogrammin ... les&ID=386 for the resistor, on the white interface wire from the pac controller, you would splice in half, with 1 half connected directly to pin7 i believe, and you would solder the resistor to the other half of the white interface wire before connecting it to pin 8. the black wire from the pac controller connects to pin 6 black wire resistors look like this: here are my home made "paint" instructions: toyota steering wheel harness pin layout: Pre-installation: Connect pin 6
  14. how long have you had it before it stopped working today?
  15. Yes it's possible, you need to buy a PAC SWI-PS controller in order to use the steering wheel controls with your new headunit. You also need to buy (1) 150oHm resistor from radioshack for 99 cents. Connect pin 6 wire to ground. Connect pin 7 to the INTERFACE's White wire. Connect one end of a 150 ohm resistor to pin 8, then connect the other end of the resistor to the INTERFACE's white wire. So basically you will have two wires, one with a resistor in series, connected to the INTERFACE's White wire.
