Friends: 0 | Dension's Ice>link for Toyota really works fine. I bought ice>link today from Bestbuy which I saw just one there since last week. I paid $199 - 12% from bestbuy coupon w/bestbuy card. I called dension about 2 weeks ago and they said they can sell me directly for $189+Shipping. Well, I installed it. I tooks total of 1 hour, however it could be done within 30 min if I do it again. pretty simple, took out vent cover, unscrew white big cable plug, connect connector by just on hand, test, put everything back. mount cradle.. that's it. Text display is really cool. Goodbye all static fm noise.... happy thanksgiving Hojoon

With the SiriusPrius, the on-screen artist/title text is limited to 10 characters, according to those who've installed it. But you do get full functionality through the steering wheel controls and the MFD. Personally, I've decided to spend that money on the new SIRIUS S50 PnP portable and eventually either hardwire the FM modulator or wait for the VAIS SIRIUS controller. (According to a VAIS e-mail I received, they are working on a SIRIUS controller which may be available in a few months. It'll give full functionality to SIRIUS PnPs.) BTW, the S50 is shipping to stores this week.

Friends: 0 | I just installed the Bazooka BT8100 subwoofer using the FAST-BTAH cable, FAST-1761 interface cable and an RBCM-EL remote volume control. Install was relatively easy considering I only drilled one hole and no splicing was necessary. I installed the sub on the plastic cover of the battery pack. The screws provided would have penetrated the metal housing over the batteries, so I used my own shorter sheetmetal screws and screwed the include strap brackets through the plastic cover and in to two strips of scrap sheet metal I had in my shop. I ran the FAST-BTAH cable from rear to front since the connector for the stereo is smaller than the one for the sub. I ran it under the black plastic vent for the battery, under the kick plate on the passeger side and behind the lip where the bottom of the glove box clips in. This is (almost) the same route I took when installing my XM radio. The remove volume control was installed in the upper glove box. I had to drill a hole in the side for the connector to pass through. This cable followed the same route as the FAST-BTAH cable. At the sub end, I replaced the heat shrink tubing on the FAST-BTAH cable so I could include the volume control cable. The FAST-BTAH cable has a ground connector close to the sub. I connected that to a screw on the metal housing for the HV battery. The screw in question is immediately above the right rear screw holding the battery pack to the deck. It seems to join to pieces of the housing, so I remove the screw, slipped the eye loop between the two pieces, and reinstalled the screw. I also notched the right rear corner of the plastic cover over the HV battery for the FAST-BTAH cable. It runs up along the front right edge of the cargo tray. When I need trunk space, I disconnect the sub, put it in the cargo tray and also put the cable in the cargo tray. I assume the same procedure would work for just about any of the tube subs that Bazooka makes. The difference in sound quality is phenomenal. Without the sub, songs like Bring Me To Life by Evanesence and just about anything by Maroon 5 results in bad distortion when I set the bass setting up a notch or two. With the sub, I can leave the bass setting neutral resulting in no distortion when I turn the volume up. |
