I uploaded some pics i took before and after..overall the install was fun, challenging and oh! so rewarding. i also documented the whole process with pictures from beginning to end..

ofcourse the before pic

and after pics




everything functions the way they're supposed to, compass and the green running bars work after being tapped into the abs sensor, outside temperature is dead on with the weather networks reading, also after hooking it up into the sensor provided, both the maplights work as well as the sunroof controls. the illumination after being tapped into the clock wire also functions perfectly. the screen is super bright during the day and not too overbearing once the headlights are on during night driving..oh yeah..forgot to clean the rear view mirror ....

 

Nice.

I just wish there was away to change it to *F and Feet instead of meters.

 

i know especially for you guys there in the US, you'll just have to keep on doin conversions..fortunately here in Canada we use the metric system...thanks though.

 

Nice work. Welcome to the FMU club.

 

Looks good! Do you live at sea level?


I wouldn't mind having the metric, its easy enough to get a ball park metric to standard conversion

 

well if only you americans would go to a system that makes sense.....

 

the only thing that makes sense in the US is driving a toyota. everything else is just silly.

 

+1

 

haha whats wrong with measuring things in relation to the size of a foot?
yep, we're retarded, but hey at least we've managed to keep soccer from taking over the US like it has the rest of the world. bunch of sissies. hahah

 

Nice job!

 

Thanks guys. it's just one of those cool gadget's i just had to have. Without the write-ups of the guys who'd done the mod themselves..tackling it would've been..oh! oh!...i also documented the whole process with pics all the way.tons of pics..i don't know about another write-up though.

and yep i'm at sea level.

 

Looks good, i wish I didn't already strip out my grab handle screws so I could actually access the wiring..

 

with the help of my 18volt dewalt impact driver, even the blue loctite toyota guys used was no match. sorry to hear you stripped the grab screws..maybe if you tried using the"grab-it" damaged screw remover, you'll get 'em off..but then again..issues the blue loctite....

 

I stripped out the screws on my drivers side grab handle and found a easy way to get them out.

First get a drill bit that is 3/4 the size of the screw head and drill off both of the screw heads and remove the handle. Then get a pair of vise grips and clamp the screw thread and simple unscrew

This worked allot easier than trying to use a "easy out" or any type of "stripped screw remover".

 

Thanks for the advice, i'll give it a shot if the time comes .

Where's all the rest of your pics blcktpgsr? Have an online album?

 

well i have over 40 pictures from start to finish, i have to sort them all out first, maybe do my write-up.

 

looks great

jealous as all get out

 

guys i'll start a new thread including the full write-up

 

Metrics work, every things in 10 100 1000, if you know a 10k road race is 6.2 miles then it all falls in place....100kph, 62 mph simple,shmimple.

 

yep metric simple, imperial 12 inches in a foot 3 feet in a yard 1760 yards in a mile, tell me how that makes sense, did a drunk come up with this or a 2 year old?. that conversion works nice if your sitting in a vehicle.....
