uncald4 Posted January 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Thank you for the compliments. A JVC head unit was used along with the proper harnesses and interface pieces. All the factory stuff still works like the steering wheel buttons, door chime and such. I've got a Phoenix Gold Titanium Series 5 channel amp hiding in the center console. The amp runs Morel speakers front and rear as well as a single 8" Kicker L7 hidden under the rear seat. The interior looks completely factory other than a tiny Morel badge on the front tweeters.

uncald4 Posted January 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Almost forgot one cool thing. I can start the truck using the iPad too. My truck has Viper Smart Start and I've got the app on my iPhone and that iPad mini. It lets you start/stop the engine and lock/unlock doors. Not that I need to use it when I'm in the truck but it's a cool trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLOWN SS/T Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 And are you able to run just iPad and still use steering controls? Or is that why your running a head unit? Lol my excuse to get this done is gonna be for weight reduction, shoot an iPad mini weighs less then a double din. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncald4 Posted January 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 There is an interface available that will allow the use of steering wheel controls to the iPad. There is a video on YouTube that shows it. I'll see if I can find the product. I've never used it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
