Tech Oil Changer	that looks like that would take a expert to do, they did a very awsome job on cutting and extending the radio door, thats what your talking about right?
[#] Dec 11, 2004 10:23am
swolenoggin Window Washer	yea do you think i would have to extent the door? i think the door wont interfer that much. i hope not. i need to find a place that sells the unit as well.

falcon9094 New York, US Tech Advisor	I believe there is a write up on here or scion life so try a search

swolenoggin Window Washer	yea i have looked at it and havent found much on it. will a seven inch monitor fit in that space? cause what i think i am gonna do it is just have the monitor in that space and have the reciever probably in the glove box. any suggestions let me know.

Tech Oil Changer	im an idiot, just went out to my car and took a really hard look at my radio..... the door isn-t extended at all in the pic, i think that stereo will slide right in without any problems, except to mount it without it hitting the door(when shut) but those forums showing install show how to position the stereo to avoid that problemabout my last post... im such an idiot EDIT: and the measurement 7- is diagonally its will fit nicly if you ask me

scionadmin New York, US Admin	hmm I don-t have a tC but at glancing at the pictures it looks like it isn-t that hard to do but requires some time and maybe even some modifying to small parts. I suggest you take a good look again and try to test fit it yourself. If your not handy or good at this just bring it to a shop.

ToCool Tire Changer	Actually that-s my photo album There-s nothing special about the install, noting was modified but the mounting brackets. The stock radio door fits fine, but it doesn-t push in as far as it did with the stock radio. This means that you need to develop the -tap to open- technique cuz there-s not as much door movement. There is a photo on the site that shows how to modify the bracket.

scionadmin New York, US Admin	HEy TooCool you should feel proud that someone wants to copy you . Nice area to put it in though. I like it!
[#] Dec 12, 2004 02:43am
ToCool Tire Changer	Thanks Scionadmin! One (of the many) good things about this car is the flexability one has with such a large, covered radio bay. The AVN2454 is a nice unit and overall pretty easy to install thanks to the connectors being the same as the stock Scion harness, Almost a plug-n-play.

swolenoggin Window Washer	well i wasnt trying to copy someone my idea was a little different cause i cant afford that unit right now. what i was thinkin about doing was putting just the screen in that space and putting the recieveer maybe in the glove box or something like that unless someone knows of a good unit for a cheap price or any other suggestions

tChillin Detailer	Anybody know why that unit wants a signal hooked up to the Reverse lights? I understand the signal from the parking brake. Also, does this unit already come with the NAV package or does it require additional parts?Thanks.

FastFrank Detailer	i think it wants it hooked up to the reverse lights, so if u have a camera when you back up it automatically goes to that video feed. And i believe that model comes with DVD nav disks. but not positive.

There is a photo on the site that shows how to modify the bracket. weird as soon as i changed my stock radio to my RF 9400 the door miraculously worked even better than before. i rememer than when i first got the car i had to push the top right corner for it to open properly. now i don-t have to do anything just push in and it opens. all you have to modify is the mounting brackets that is by drilling a new hole about 1/4- 1/2 of an inch from the previous hole to make the door work properly.maybe thats why its now working for you as it should also they have a kit that its now avaliable for ppl that don-t want a double din stereo.

InLikeFlint Lexington Kentucky, US The Gearhead	Just fyi that the reverse cam is an accessory. It doesn-t come with the unit. But still a very cool feature!!

Also, does this unit already come with the NAV package or does it require additional parts?Thanks. The unit has reverse signal wiring because it-s for the Nav unit, it-s letting the unit know you are in reverse and not going forward, The nav guy would not be accurate too if you don-t install the cable. The AVN2454 does come with a 8.5GB DVD that contains entire US maps and Canada. One thing you might want to know is AVN2454 is a 4 channel system so if you think about doing 5.1 sound in the car, you will need the AVX series which is a true 5.1 surround system. As for backup camera Eclipseonly has a -Back eye- camera where it is manually switch on by the driver when you want to, it is not a -back up camera- where the video auto feeds when the car is in reverse !!! I know since I have both unit the AVN2454 and BEC103. You can install other brand like Pioneer where it-s a true backup camera ( you might need additional hardware to install that though, I am not sure ) Hope this make sense for you.

tChillin Detailer	Good info. ThanksI dont see the right size box under the Christmas tree though. Guess I,m on my own there.

unseen Hampton Bays New York, US Master Mechanic	are the eclipse dimensions exactly the same as the kenwood ddx? im going to install mine next week; just want to get a heads up on need for spacers, etc.
[#] Feb 16, 2005 08:31pm
unclemow Stockton California, US Detailer	sorry I don-t know, I did have to get my buddy to custom fabricate2 side panels for the eclipse so that the unit fits in snugly. Since the Pioneer deck is so much wider than the eclipse. Check on the product-s website and get the dimensions.

SciontC18 Window Washer	how much was the avn2454 ?And how much do you think it would be for a professional install.. thanx

unclemow Stockton California, US Detailer	-SciontC18- wrote: how much was the avn2454 ?And how much do you think it would be for a professional install.. thanx The retail MSRP for AVN2454 is $2999, most fine electronic eclipse retailer may sale it for 2299. I got mine at Good Guys for $2000 installedso basically $1800 for the unit, $200 installation because there are a number of sensors that need to be installed on the car in order to get the full use out of the nav system.

speedaddictsdj Oil Changer	-daythinkr- wrote: is this brand any good? would this component give me problem later on. If you are referring to the Eclipse AVN2454, YES it is a VERY GOOD brand and highly recommended. Eclipse is a higher end market brand, and their product speaks for it. They have also introduced 2 new double-din displays at the 2005 CES Show to be released soon. I apologize I do not have the new model numbers off hand.

TC4ever Window Washer	Hi everone....new to this club and I-m getting my TC on 3/2/05 and there is alot of things I plan to add to the car. The Eclipse AVN2454 is the perfect choice I think. But how do I get one? And where do I go to get it? help me please......TC4ever.

unclemow Stockton California, US Detailer	For retail, any major electronic store that are authorize retailersand you can register your eclipse unit for 1 year theft replacement.and warranty. For online , ebay check to see if they come with the map DVD, otherwise it-s useless but bad part is you can-t register the unit because it-s not sold from an authorize retailer and eclipse will not honor the theft protection if the unit is stolen with the 1st year. Nor will they honor the warranty with the same reason.
