Default my retrofit touchscreen vs my doubledin,lots of info

well i first installed a doubledin, which was cool it had all the bells and whistle
but then someone tried to break in and take it ,they had no such luck everthing is bolted down,
so now i thought let me try the stock touchsreen sat nav and add movie play back,and a backup camera, usb ETC,
so my first task was to locate all the parts and shematics heres some pic of what i had to get
i posted some of my past projects also
i hope i dont blind you guys with all these pics





what you see is the touch sreen,
harness ,
remote climate controll unit,
dvd rom drive,
gps antenna
optical link




the piece above is the remote climate controll unit the hardest part to get,i got lucky i have 2



it fit perfect in the side

heres some pics of install




started wiring things up



backup camera at night









for the backup camera you tap into our rear light plug the grean and black wire




phone btooth working





heres some of te plugs i orded



heres some of the schematics if you want to try it yourself



this diagram is from dave x thanks bud



look in that mess of wires is the navtool thats what you need to play movies and backup camera of course i straightened up the wiring neatly



heres the button i switch between movies and navigation




heres the audio modulator


this was my double din install youve seen before














WRITE UP TO ADD BACK UP CAMERA AND MOVIES TO SAT NAV

PARTS NEEDED

NAVTOOL i paid $150 on ebay


BACKUP CAMERA i paid $12 ebay



DVD PLAYER i paid $79 for a soundstream one ,i changed the boss one i had



in the diagram all you have to do is cut the four wires in the diagram
on the navtool theres also a acc wire to be hooked up and the backup camera





i made these diagrams to help you guys out when you get the navtool you will see all the wires matchup to my diagram
the diagram they give you is no good , i figured it out for you guys

heres the bluetooth and voice modules connected



heres the harness



running the bluetooth module under the carpet


putting the harness under the carpet is a bitch
PLUS I FOUND SOME M&MS under the console lol




this is what you need for bluetooth and voice intergration

The install itself looks wonderful with a lot of thought into the overall look. It's very clean and looks great.

But why the hell use crap BOSS components????? That's a sacrilege in the car audio world

Need to know how you tapped into the stock screen and added everything. Can you please list parts and details used?
Thanks.

Thank you very much Dennis. I've been to the settings menu several times, but using the "917" code. Turns out, it offers other options than "1971." Shame we can't use custom images for the logo screen.
