how well does Sirius Backseat work? Are they planning to add more channels like MTV, etc?

 

Nice truck, do not understand 2 pioneer head units but what the hey, pretty nifty.

Posted Sep 15, 2008 · 15:02 UTC#4

I don't understand the 2-headunits either, but I don't understand most of the stuff people do to show cars like replacing backseats with walls of speakers and such.

 

It does look really nice and looks like you spent a fortune on it. I would guess that you are NOT married. :lol:

 

Hmmm... we've seen the wall of speakers, how about a wall of head units? :wink:

I think he mentioned a while ago was he can have one unit doing navigation while the other played the av source or somethin'. Pretty good idea if you have the money.

 

Lu Scola, I see you organized the amps and such under the seat. Looks awesome all around, nice job. :D

Playing an AV source in view of the driver while driving? Seems like a worse idea than texting while driving, IMO. Well, maybe not worse, but just as bad.

Posted Sep 15, 2008 · 16:47 UTC#7

_shrug_ to each is own. Personally I think txting while driving is overrated, I mean, I memorize the keypad so I don't have to take my eyes off the road to send a msg, and it only takes a quick glance for me to read an incoming msg.

 

Also I think inputting a desitination is just as distracting as watching a movie, especially on the F seires where an input is hit or miss.

Posted Sep 15, 2008 · 18:56 UTC#8

I'm sure somewhere out there, someone thinks driving under the influence is overrated too. :roll: You younger guys' insurance is much higher for good reason! Maybe I'm alone here, but I believe in safety first.

 

I only input destinations or fiddle with the navi when stopped at lights or before I even leave. On long trips, the front seat passenger is in charge of setting waypoints and finding POIs.

Posted Sep 15, 2008 · 19:19 UTC#9

i totally agree with the watching video or texting while drive. My gps is on the other side of the car so my wife can input stuff, and my 4000 is hooked up to the e brake. I hate people that drive and talk on there phones with out bluetooth kits, i just want to run into them to teach them a lesson. As far as the truck, its nice. Im just not into 80 tvs or even the stupid 26 inch rims. Really whats the point? There is nothing original about it and i have seen it all before. But thats just my opion, what ever you think is cool or what ever. did you do the work or just have some shop do it for you? I would respect it more if you did the work yourself.

I'm not saying it's safe, anything that takes your eyes off the road is unsafe, all I said was I don't think it's as dangerous as people make it out to be. I don't see how it follows the same lines as drunk driving, because intoxication changes your mental state in every aspect: reflex, vision, depth perception, balance, all the key elements needed for safe driving. And I agree with the younger driver's insurance being high, because there's a lot of punk kids out there who like to floor it and end up getting hurt. Unfortunatly a few bad apples ruin the bunch, but it's better that way than some 17 year old kid affording a GT500 and driving recklessly. One of my closest friend has a lead foot and he always has to race me if we're both driving somewhere, and I always have a worry in the back of my head if I'm ever going to get a call that he's in the hospital for his stupidity.

so that train wreck in california was caused by the enginer texting, still think its not that big of deal? how many people have to die before everyone get the picture? What if it was your family member or even your child that was on that train? still think it wouldn't be a big deal?

Listen I'm not getting into an arguement with you about this. I simply stated my opinion on it. If my opinion bothers you that much, either keep it to yourself or take it up with me in a PM. No need to question my views in a thread that has nothing to do with it. I didn't even hear about any trainwreck in CA, I live on the opposite side of the country.

Yes all the work is done by me. I have been installing since I was 16. I am now 31. I dont really watch tv while driving. I usually have my map up on the top Z series. I usually run my Ipod video on the bottom playing mostly music videos. Its more of an ammenity for my passengers. I have a car dealership and a custom shop. I did most of the stuff as a mobile display to show some of the crazy stuff we can do to potential customers cars. I do have some money tied up in this truck, but I get everything wholesale, so my cost is alot cheaper than the average Joe buying at best buy, C.C, or any other electronics store. The Sirius backseat TV is awesome as far as clarity, and reception. I have heard that there will be 50+ channels added to there programming line-up. This truck has everything imaginable. The two head units work well together. The Z is the master unit, with the D3 as a slave unit ran into it thru AV1. You'd have to see it operate in person to see how good of an idea it really is. Im gonna YouTube my daily operation of it, and how they are ran together. Its definitly a cool thing to have if you have the space and the money to do it. ANy other questions feel free to ask. Thanks, Lu

 

 

here is a few videos of my keypad strobe operation, Corsa Sport Exhaust and a DUB Air intake!

 

Check them out, very nice videos

My shop is producing custom bezels and mounting kits for alot of vehicles without kits. We started with the Escalade. Its a lower bezel for double din applications. I sent our template to our wood grain kit supplier. We will have bezels witha factory match wood bezel. I just did a new suade bezel in tan, replacing the previous black bezel shown above. Once I get the factory match wood overlay back for the bezel, its gonna look very factory and flow very nicely down the console.

 

Here it is:

Pretty sick stuff for sure... Nice work...

Hey the analog clock is nice did that come with ur truck or did u add it and if u did add it where did u get it?

Posted Sep 24, 2008 · 23:15 UTC#16

The clock was originally down on the lower bezel where the factory 6 disc in dash changer was. I moved it to put the D3 down below. I moved the trac. control and the park assist buttons and put the clock there inside a suade bracket.

Please fill me in on my question, so I can rest easy :lol:

I've searched and searched trying to figure it out, and have come up with nothing.... I even went as far as blowing th picture up, and other than the "P" looking weird and hanging off the right side, I don't reckon it's a PS'd pic.... Is it just a flash screen(the track info at the bottom?) or does it hold any functionality?

Posted Sep 25, 2008 · 03:36 UTC#18

These are real pics of the head unit screens in my truck. No editing or photoshopping. The screen is my backround screen on all my AV sources. The words down below are the real track,and real artist. They still show with this backround which makes it look very real. However, the Iphone buttons dont actually function. Looks very cool though.

Nice job! 8)

Posted Oct 03, 2008 · 01:15 UTC#20

I like the backgrounds too..... I have to since I made them..... If you like those you need to see the new ones THE INSTINCT design

Posted Oct 03, 2008 · 08:10 UTC#21

where is THE INSTINCT DESIGN??? How can I find them. I just tried search with no dice.

Posted Oct 05, 2008 · 23:34 UTC#22

Im thinking about selling my D3 on the bottom bezel and putting in a F90BT. Have they worked out the bugs yet? Will the F90 play ipod video like the D3 does?

Posted Oct 06, 2008 · 00:06 UTC#23

man you could really pull somebody over with those strobes. :lol:

Posted Oct 06, 2008 · 07:19 UTC#24

Yes they will do that. These are Whelen strobe kits. They are the same strobes the police vehicles have installed in them. I bought 30 kits wholesale for a really good price. Each kit has 4 strobes, and power supply. I have made my way thru traffic before to get up to my exit 2 miles away. I dont really do that often. Its not worth the tix I'd get if caught.

Posted Oct 06, 2008 · 09:28 UTC#25

Yes, even better. It has a full video browser allowing you to select the videos from the touchscreen without having to control from the ipod.
