I'm Awesome
So I just started the next project on the van and it is quite an undertaking. First I removed the OEM radio and cd player. Fitted a 10.1" touch screen Android head unit. I still have to route and mount the backup camera, GPS antenna and the bluetooth hands free microphone. I hooked the GPs and Microphone up and they work very well. The GPs antenna grabbed 5 satellites laying on the dash inside my shop. I connected the radio to the hot spot on my phone and downloaded the Texas map and then downloaded OBDLink that ties to the OBD2 Elm327 device I have. I have swapped out the front speakers and the tweeters. I have the rear 5x7 and 6x9 speakers on order. Rockford Fostgate Punch line all the way around. The 5x7s are 3 way and the 6x9s 4 way. The internet based apps play very clearly off my hotspot. I will need to cut the radio craddle, reinforce it and find a way to mount the ac controller in the former CD player opening. The electrical connections and vacuum hoses need to be relocated to the lower opening in the dash behind the craddle but they are plenty long to reach. I will seal the upper opening off with a piece of textures ABS plastic cut to fit the opening. I used a Metra harness and the radio harness and spliced then together with solder and heat shrink before wrapping the wires with 3M harness looming tape to make a plug and play conversion harness. Still have to route a wire to the parking brake switch and the reverse input to the cluster. Finally have a dead Clifford alarm to remove out from under the dash and a new Metra power antenna to install to replace the failed OEM power antenna.
