Hey Guys, Just Got The Mopar iPod Integrator. When Purchasing The Kit Also Get The Extention For The Modular. The Easiest Way I Could See Mounting Everything Is What I Have Pictures Of. There Isnt Much Room Behind The Dashbord Thats For Sure. Entire Process Took About 2 Hrs Including Looking For Easier Ways To Run The Lines And Places To Mount Every Thing. All In All Its Pretty Easy To Install And Works Great For Around 200 Bucks If You Ask Me. Where I Drilled My One Hole To Connect To The iPod You Cannot See At All Which Is Also Nice.
Love This Thing So Far Stereo Displays Artist And Song Title. I Can Use My Steering Wheel Controls To Scroll Between What I Want To Listen To. The Only Pain In The Butt I Have Right Now Is I Have To Push Button Number 2 To Switch Between Bands. Meaning I Push That Button Then On The Steering Wheel I Can Scroll And Select And Keep Scaning Through That Same Band. If I Want To Change Bands I Have To Push Button Number 2. Definetly Well Worth The Money Though My 4 Gig iPod Nano Is Almost Full I Had 200 Cds Sitting In My Truck, Not Anymore. Sound Quality Is Great Just Like A CD.
You Will Also Need A Drill To Make a Hole To Locate Where You Plug Your iPod In Like The Way I Ran It. Its Also A Pain In The Butt To Get The Amplifier Screws Off Also, Youll Need A Flexable Bit To Get Those Screws Off.
Remove That Screw Under The Purse Holder.
Pull Dash Straight Out Working You Way Around It Top To Bottom.
Then Unplug All The Plugs To That Dash To Get It Out Of The Way.
Remove The 4 Screws That Hold The Stereo In.
Remove The Two Screws That Hold In The Cover Under The Steering Column.
Pull Straight Out Also On Other Side And Remove.
Now Behind The Stereo You Can See The Main Power and Speaker Harness.
Your Going To Snake Your Wire Through There. Into The Hole You See In The Pic., Not Through That Hole Just Pull It Down. Plug In The Line Into The Back Of The Stereo Next To The Harness. Install The Stereo and Pull All Of The Slack Out Of The Line You Just Ran.
Remove The Alan Bolts And The Shift Knob Pull Them Off And Then Remove This Console. There Is a Plug That Needs To Be Pulled Off That Goes To The DC Plug.
Remove The Two Top Phillips Head Screws Then The Lower Ones Near The Front Of That Storage Compartment. Then You Will Need To Remove The Two Screws On The Amplifier, Which Are A Pain. Then Remove The Amplifier after you unplug it. Your Not Removing That Black Liner You Just Unbolted You Are Only Going To Pull It Up An Inch So You Can Snake Your Wires Through The Carpet Underneath.
The Easiest Way To Snake The Wires Underneath The Carpet Is To Start From The Shifter Hole Back. Your Going To Have To Rest Your Head On The Floor And Lift The Carpet. Youll See Other Wires Running Between The Drivers Seat And Passanger Seat. Once You Get The Plug Over That Line It Glides Down To The Hole In The Storage Compartment. You Must Lift The Carpet Using The Hole In The Storage Compartment To Get The Line To Come Towards You. After Running The First Line Run The White iPod Connector Next To It.
Using A Small Drill Bit Drill A Small Hole In The Corner Of The Console. Work Your Way Up In Sizes Until You Have A Hole Big Enough To Run The iPod Connector Through It.
Reinstall All Screws Including Plugging In The Amplifier And Reinstalling. Then Install The iPod Modular Wherever U'd Like Using The Supplied Velcro.
Reistall All Screws And Time To Play
