Re: Alpine IVA-W505 Installed
Hey
Mud - I chose the W505 because I liked its DIVX capability, and I love Alpine headunits. I have owned a IVA-D300 and IVA-D310 and I loved both of them. I really like the touchscreen interface, and the sound processor is awsome. Like I said before, it sounds amazing.
RCL0025 - I used the Scosche install kit, which was absolute crap in my opinion. Theres no way when a dash kit fits everything from a 1990 Ford Econoline van to a 2007 H2 its going to be perfect. The opening in the front was way to small for the deck, and I ended up not even using it. I removed the 2 side pieces front the front square face, bolted them to the side of the deck, then bolted that into the H2 dash. Then I put the W505 trim ring on, then the large H2 dash trim piece and it looks awsome.
Marauder - I'm not sure about the Metra adapter, but the shop I bought it from said they have not had the best luck with the Metra adapters. I was going to just do the re-wire and not use the Bose amp, but then you cant have the onstar audio coming through the door speakers which was a concern for me, plus the Bose system sounds amazing with the new deck.
I will try to get some pictures posted tommorow when I get home.
