Installing modern radio into a GQ (pictures added)

[RN]

I put the radio in the pod, the professional did the wiring.

That explains it

I'll stick to my day job then...

Nice... OziExplorerCE will run on ce.net 4.2 this is proper mapping software for offroad use..

Sweet. Is that freeware or paid for software.

My radio has a SD slot in the front in which the road maps are stored. Would you load the OziExplorerCE software to a new SD card via a card reader and keep the two cards seperate?

Wouldn't want to bugger up the Route 66 files if I stuff the download.

$40 for the serial number after you download the software, i dont know if OZI will run off the sd card but its worth a shot.

Wow that is cool, certainly wouldn't want to do a DIY install on that stereo.

Seller indicated that a professional install would benefit the warranty.

'professional install' hmmm then why is the radio half hanging out of the console and on an angle....

Has to 'hang out ' for when the screen deploys it cannot foul its surroundings. Screen can tilt up and down, side to side to face the driver or pasenger.

Angle ...do you mean angle of the screen or angle of the radio in the pod. ( if the latter then that is due to the cut out of the pod that has been modified to suit a UHF which is now been removed.)

I put the radio in the pod, the professional did the wiring.

Does the unit have av outs and can it play a dvd without the dash screen out ? Good for mapping but the kids wont see it in the back L+R seats.

Has AV out with 2 RCA audible output...was informed that you could have the main video screen closed and the extra screens operating..

Buy a couple of these and some screens for the kids in the back. That way they can watch what and when they want. http://www.mediagateusa.com/html/mg25.html
