Hi everyone, i just got my 2006 eclipse gt yesterday, and i installed my navigation system today. I was just going to see if anyone needed a how-to or help with wiring or anything. I noticed there aren't too many of those on this site.


Pin #14 is the vehicle speed sensor.

if you can post pics that would be nice :)

What kind of dvd/nav unit did you install? Got pics?

just wondering how do you play music or dvd's do you have a box some where else?

The screen flips down and thats where the dvd and cd slots are.

so the screen folds down and you put the cd like in the top of the screen and put it back up and it plays. hmm sounds interesting might wait a while and do that with my car.

Not really how you described it so much but i will post a picture for you.

yes if you could send me pictures and a sorta price list im kinda interested. i currently have other projects im working on and will be posting pictures as soon as products are installed.

That's EXACTLY what I want to put in mine. Any pics, instructions, parts lists that you want to give up are appreciated!

THX!

how do you take out that center head unit?

how about pics of the install, brackets? Did you buy a instlal kit or custom one up?? pics pics pics!!

is there a install kit for the wireing? is it a plug and play type thing ??

Can I assume your volume paddles (on the back of the steering wheel) and the heads up display (at the top of the dash) do not work anymore?

I had thought about something like this but don't wish to lose the convenience of the steering wheel controls or the HUD.

You can buy interface kits so you can use factory steering wheel controls with aftermarket stereos.

Sorry for not posting these sooner. I edited my above post. As you can see from the pix, the only thing on the HUD you lose is the track number/ disc for the factory cd player. I used the brackets off of the factory cd player, since the factory cd player is in fact double din behind the cover. I used the standard 94+ Mitsubishi Wiring Harness. ( i think it's 94+. Any car audio place will know what your talking about). There iare also harnesses to let you use the steering wheel controls as well. It was a fairly simple install aside from running the GPS line and speed signal line. I have an ECU diagram and other pointers if any one desires them as well. The Box in 5th pic over ( the one thats kinda dark) is my IPOD adapter. Hope I've answered some of your questions.

hey ameldorf. i will be picking up an eclipse gt later this week. i currently have the alpine iva-w200 and i love the fit of the double din. where did you find that trim piece for the dash?

Trim piece can be purchased from installer.com

also the wiring harness for this car is exactly the same as the previous year eclipses if any stores have any beef with finding a product #. BestBuy refused to sell me one because they told me they changed it...well its been the same since 93, and it still hasn't changed. RF systems need an aftermarket amp to work the door speakers as well.

off topic, sorry.. but my 06 GT has no outside temp.. is that an option?? or am i missing something ?

Do you have the sun&sound pkg?
