  1. Mivey, Thanks for the pictures. Since this is the first time I install a head unit myself, how would it typically mount or fit into the 1 din space after removal of the Becker OEM unit? I've already removed the OEM unit before...so that shouldnt be a problem. However, in your experience, would aftermarket unit "fit" right in without further modifications? I know there is a bracket included in the Eclipse package...however, have been wondering how this would connected. Thanks again. Regards, James
  2. Mivey, Thanks for sharing your experience. It does seem a bit strange that there a wire harness is not available. I have, however, found that a few posts that mention using a harnesses for Audi/VW. I believe a Metra Wire Harness (70-1784) for VW/Audi is the part number mentioned by others. I havent got my hands on one yet..but will try to snap a picture when I do. Anyways, the Navi unit I was interested in is actually a 1din Eclipse - Japanese equivalent of the AVN7000. http://www.eclipse-web.com/7000index.html I am still undecided about how it's going to look...particularly after seeing your install. Thanks again for your feedback! Regards, James
  3. Mivey, Looks great. I am also considering changing out the radio with a navi system. For the wiring, were you able to find a wire harness that the original will plug straight into? If possible, I would like to avoid splicing or cutting into the wires...I'd like to be able to put the original Becker unit. Thanks for your help...and great job...looks very clean. Regards, James '99 996 Cabrio
  4. Loren, I think I have the same problem. The blower seems to work but recently (earlier this week) started to make a loud noice when turned up. It is bearable at lower fan speeds; but obnoxious at higher speeds. Would you mind posting or pm me with possible DIY solutions? I think the dealer was quoting something like $800 (or 100,000 yen). Yes, that's yen (I am currently living in Tokyo - but originally from Texas). Thanks for your help. Regards, James '99 C2 Cabrio
