**PICS/VIDEOS** New Alpine Nav/DVD/TV Stock Motorized Housing

[btorok]

My SLU just has two sets of RCA's. Nothing that would transfer power. The cable or dock I need would have a single plug that plugs into the bottom of the iPod and the other end provides power and a set of RCA's for the audio signal.

well i would just find a way for you to be able to play dvds and call it a day. you have the nav control buttons, which is why i need a touch screen since i dont have those. but other than that having a touchscreen is pointless. (plus, your screen is 7 inches i think, my alpine is 6.5). so yours with dvd would be realllly sweet.

That looks awesome, the motorized flip is the best looks stock how smoothly it works. Nice.

I'm trying to customize my IS similar to your setup. I really like the look and feel of the stock navigation. How much did it cost you for parts and stuff? Where did you get all your parts? I see that you got the Stock nav housing from a local Lexus dealer, but how about the Alpine Touchscreen and the Nav?

1. Alpine TME-M770S Touch Screen
2. Alpine NVE-N872A Navigation System
3. Alpine TUE-T151 TV Tuner
4. Vais Tech auxiliary input

I'm just trying to determine how much it would cost me before the labor fee.

Thanks!

that's a pretty sick set up! +reps

[raveypoo13]

Wow, that looks real nice. I like how you mounted your ipod. I've been looking for a good way to mount mine. If its not too much of a hassle, could you tell me how you made it? Perhaps you'd be willing to make another one. For a fee of course

hey
here's the thread that shows how i made the mount. hope that helps.
no time now to make another one as i'm leaving town for a month in a few days and everything is pretty hectic right now, but it was pretty easy to make.
the only thing that didn't come out great was the spray paint. it's been like a year since i made it, so ill just have to touch-up the paint, but this time i think flat black will come out better and match the interior better.

*PICS* Newest Custom iPod Mount Yet

i'm looking to do this same setup, but i'd like my ipod to be controlled through the touchscreen so I can keep it hidden. Was there a specific reason you chose to mount yours?

x2
i want to do the same thing

That's a very nice setup you have, but is there a specific reason you went with a 6.5" touchscreen rather than a 7" touchscreen. I'm assuming that when you installed your system Alpine didn't make a 7" touchscreen, is this correct? Also, would a 7" touchscreen fit better since that is the stock size?

I second this as loud as I can

hey. i've been asked about this TONS of times, so here's all the info.

LIST OF PARTS:
Alpine NVE-N872A nav system ($1200 on ebay)
Alpine TME-M770 6.5inch touch screen ($500 on ebay)
Alpine TUE-T151 tv tuner ($150 on ebay)
PS2 Slim ($100 on ebay)
VAIS Tech iPod auxiliary input ($300, at Toyota/Lexus Audio,Video and Information Solutions (Lexus Auxiliary input,Lexus iPod integration,Lexus XM integration))
Lexus OEM Nav Housing ($700 at dealership, or can check out Lexus Parts at Lexus Parts Online - LexusPartsOnline.com, but that will be around the same)

(see the list of Lexus parts below. Don't pay attention the the price. That price list is about 5 years old, all dealer prices have gone up since.)

I originally bought a Kenwood 7-inch screen with the Kenwood Nav (KNA-G510) but there was no way to fit the screen inside the lexus housing.

So I went with Alpine, the screen fit LIKE A GLOVE in the housing. It fit PERFECTLY between these two little indentations that the housing has on the inside. One millimeter wider or narrower and it wouldn't have fit as well. So the guy at the shop built a pretty simple bracket to keep the screen permanently in place.

CONNECTION SETUP:
Nav box connected to the screen's nav input
PS2 and tv tuner into the screen's two video inputs

the Vais aux-in unit has two inputs. One specifically for the iPod, and then a general one. so the screen's sound OUTPUT goes to the vais unit (the vais unit connects directly into the stock sound system without having to remove anything. it makes the car think you're playing a cd). so i can choose to listen to radio, tape, cds, ipod, or screen (the sound i get is whatever is showing on my screen, whether it be navigation, DVD, or tv). the only shitty part is i cant listen to any of those things at the same time. if i have it on ipod, its ipod. so if im using nav, i usually just play music and never actually hear the nav, i just see it. if i chose to listen to the nav, i wouldnt be able to listen to any music simultaneously.

hope this helps.

**and this is the thread where i originally got the idea, by one of the first guys to do this. you can download the complete installation instructions there, although he used different parts.**
** INSTRUCTIONS for building 02 nav housing **

and one more thread for reference.
Navigation Install

both of these guys used different actual parts, but that's just personal preference. my setup was done a few years after theirs', with some newer alpine parts. and the alpine parts fit PERFECTLY. but you can try and find something else if you so please. that's totally up to you.
BUT THOSE TWO THREADS GAVE ME ALL OF THE INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS I NEEDED TO DO THIS PROJECT.
