Double DIN upgrades question
Right, well mine is in. I got bored waiting for the bluetooth adaptor to turn up. I was dreading how much dremeling would be needed to the center panel but the work I did to fit the old AVX2 in pretty well covered it perfectly. **** poor pics, could do closer ones if anyone is interested, but a really good fit, the bottom buttons only protude by a couple of mm so very happy, the rest looks to be a perfect fit.

except for the iso adapter, what else was needed

Did it myself and it's very easy to fit as it's just 1 box, nothing else needed unless you want to add bluetooth or reversing cam like i have
I paid just over 700 for mine thru a mate.
Ebay seems to be the cheapest at the mo. A place on Walworth Rd in SE London, you can collect it there if you prefer, but a reputable place.
About 729

I've had the Kenwood DPX501U , DDX-6029 and now the DDX-7029 in my 06 & 07 STI's
All fit fine and easy to fit, just need the ISO connector for the wiring harness, £3.
I have the Kenwood bluetooth connected to all above units, DDX-7029 reads all my contacts from my Nokia phone without having to download to the unit like I had to with the Kenwood DPX501U.
Very easy to use.
Ipod connection was annoying as I had the IP-500 but the 7029 doesnt use that, I needed to buy the IP-300 which is just some leads but you can play videos from the ipod now - well cool.
oh, and I have the IP-500 ipod thingy for sale if any1 intereted, PM me. £25 posted

I'm almost sold on the DNX7200 (especially after some of the photos above) , but have a couple of questions:
1. Does it take a DAB tuner (if so, has anyone got any suggestions) and
2. is it ok with any USB connected MP3 player (I use a Creative Zen)
Thanks
Simon

2. Yes it should be fine as it has a separate USB input

Guys, why don't you do a bit of the legwork yourselves and look at the website or through the online manual for the unit?

just fitted mine myself today... boy are the wires a pain to squeeze back,
the screen isn't as flush as granby's
however i have a 2 main problems, there is no picture if i insert a dvd, only the sound, do i HAVE to fit that parking sensor wire? is there a way to bypass that (is that the problem?) i can't seem to find the wire , theres a light green one but its in the iso connector.
other problem is EVERYTIME i start the car the unit goes to the passcode screen, it also forgets my settings,
my speakers now sounds so bloody rattly. maybe need to upgrade them FAST!
