wedmonds1 Posted May 10, 2006 Author Posted May 10, 2006 Nice Well i suppose: 1) If i wanted them on my 03 STI can i get them mounted where the clock is (on the dashboard)? Can i replace my stereo with a single DIN and fill in the other DIN with the gauges? 2) How easy are they to fit and would i need to get someone to do it? Where abouts can i purchase them and where can i get them fitted? 3) Anyone got HUD installed with mph being displayed?
granby Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 1) They are normally mounted where the clock is, yes you can change the headunit to a single din and then you have a choice of 2 pockets to fit underneath, a open one like i have or a pocket with a flap [] which is almost the same colour as the rest of the dash surround, you could fit more gauges but it would be very very tight and you might have to trim the dash surround a bit [:|] 2) I got mine supplied & fitted by Xtreme, they are not cheap (about £600 including pod) and that's for the 60mm gauges, i have 52mm gauges and a special pod that i ordered from America and took 3 months to arrive [] 3) Don't know [:^)]
darryl_martin Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 Got my controller in my pocket under the stereo, gauges would be a bit of a squeeze. Only fitted boost so far, didn't take long. Took the feeds for permanent live, switched live, negative and illumination off the stereo loom (the subaru to sony/kenwood/pioneer etc. bit you get from halfords then you can take it out the car connect it properly with plenty of space and no risk of short circuit and if you b#lls it up you can easily get another bit). Thats the contorller done. One wire from controller to gauge (plugs in) and one from controller to sender unit in engine bay (plugs in). Then sender unit to engine.
