Fitting Kenwood DNX5220
 

Hi

I am looking at buying the kenwood DNX5220 plus a bluetooth adapter and fit it into my 04 STI

Has anyone done this? If so wondering was it easy, what was the best place to put bluetooth mic, GPS reciever and cable runs?

Any help greatly appreaciated

Cheers

Hi,

I have the kenwood DDX5022 plus KCA-BT200 in my 05 STI.

The mic is just above the rear view mirror.

Sorry, didn't go for GPS so can't help there.

Thanks

How did you route the cable for the mic

Got this in our 08STI, didn't fit th head unit, would have thought not a bad job, but I did fit the bluetooth, removed the lower dash panel under steering wheel, pretty sure it's only 3 or 4 screws on your car, ran the mic lead to the top of the O/S door pilar easy job & works very well

its a piece of cake. gps can go at the rear of the clock in the top of the dash. the panel just lifts out.. with a bit of force :)

The mike can go at the mirror or at the top of the a pillar. The whole job should take about 1 hour. The best way to run the cables is to remove the instrument assembly. its only about 3 screws and it comes out really easily.

Thanks for replies

Just had a look, trim for removing stereo comes out really easy, but could not get clock panel out (lots of force), I also have my tracker GPS located in that area. Would they interfere with each other ?. I was looking at positioning the GPS at the left hand side of the dash between the pillar and vent, would this be o.k?

it does take a stupidly large amount of force to get some of them to move...

the gps systems won't interfere if they are located close to each other. They only receive signals they dont send anything out.

mounting it beside the a pillar will work fine.

Thanks

Just ordered stereo + bluetooth adapter + ipod lead

Should be here next week

I have couple more questions, On the STI is the aerial an amplified if so do I have do use a 12V source for this?, I hav ordered an ISO adapter but looking through these forums it suggests that the aerial amp needs a seperate source, This then started me thinking should I disconnect the battery to fit the radio

Again any help much appreaciated

Cheers
