I felt it was time for an upgrade. I went with an Alpine IVA-W205. Check out the pics.

Now I have two questions:

1) what are those switches on either side of your shifter. They look like seat heater switches? :thinking:

2) how on earth do you keep those seats clean! :eek:

Headunit looks good! :goodjob:

jeff is definately doing this car right. That killer head unit, heated seats, and that glass roof.

If you paint your car, so where the bumper is like black on the bottom, panda style, it'll be fucking SICK.

So wait, those heated seats are factory? :thinking:

When I had the seats recovered I bought a seat heater kit, and had the heaters put in the seats at that time. It wasn't even that expensive, $180 for a 2-seat kit. The guy that re-upholstered my seats did the installation for free, and then I just ran the wires and installed the switches.

I use Meguiar's leather wipes on the white parts of my seats.

Glass roof should be finished next weekend, and then it's going for paint.

Security is taken care of. ;)

The front folds down.
Here's a pic, that also happens to show the other major feature.

http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2007/01/pmd-b200-w-iva-w205_450.jpg

I can add Alpine's Blackbird portable navigation system later and it will fit entirely inside, giving me an integrated in-dash touchscreen nav. :D This was the feature that sold me on this head unit.

The really great thing about the nav unit? It adds bluetooth to my setup as well, without shelling out for Alpine's ridiculous $300 add-on. :goodjob: More pics tomorrow.

What's a lil $300 to you ........................... :lmfao:

It's not that I couldn't afford it. It's just that it's way overpriced for what you get. $50 cell phones have bluetooth, why should my $1k head unit need a $300 add on for the same integration?
