Here's a C we did today...

We put the Eclipse Nav unit in for a customer. Nothing custom but looks pretty good.

No, not yet. As I've said before, the beta test piece which was sent to me only works with the volume.
I've been told July for a working piece but in this business...who knows?
You would think these companies would have such a desirable piece as this WHEN the car hits the market not fumbling with it a year later.
They say that they wait to see the customer response BEFORE making products....BAD BUSINESS!
The movers and shakers in the business world take chances and are ahead of the curve.

Wes, Do you have any documentation on the protocol to control the Eclipse unit? I can do full steering wheel control from the CANBUS. Maybe I can add this unit to my list of devices to support.

Wes, I've read elsewhere that shaving the stock radio opening is involved for double-dins. Was that your experience?

Just a little custom work compared to our usual custom work.

We shaved the bottom under deck so the top visible is still clean.

We relocated the factory deck to the trunk and used the canbus for the turn-on. Then we used the inputs from the factory for the Eclipse.
Sounds great and the factory controls still work.
