BACK TO DIY 2000 TECH SUMMARY

Introduction:
This is an autotoys.com installation. One of several hundred by the staff of autotoys.com
This article is a sample of knowledge gained by working on real cars for over 18 years.
Online for over 10 years, when you buy a product from us, we give you real support when you need it.
Instant access to answers through our customer forums. With thousands of customers, avoid delays, errors and miscalculations in your installation.. buy from autotoys.com - your outlet for car audio, car alarms and auto accessories.

Products:
If you have an interest in any of the products in this article, everything featured (electrical tape, connectors, radio, alarm, wire ties, rca cables, diodes, screws --- everything is available 'now' (FOR SALE!) through our storefront). Remember, there may be many manufacturers out there who sell similar products as the ones featured in our articles, but if you want a problem-free smooth professional install, your only guarantee is to buy the same parts we use (see our storefront). Any slight difference in any of the parts and your install is ruined (plus you won't have access to our post sale support or forums). Especially important for alarm, radio and OEM changer products.

Sales People (be careful!)::
Everyday, we get dozens of requests through our chat & ticket support system, request for forum passwords, questions on installation problems or questions. We can only focus on questions from our customers. The questions are simple.. the answers are simple - but these people, because they did not buy from AUTOTOYS.COM cannot get an answer. Dont make a mistake by buying through auctions, fly by night operations or new pop up websites who are just a voice over the phone (a sales person) with absolutely NO EXPERIENCE.

No experience installing in cars, no experience what-so-ever! They barely know the products they sell! Don't make that mistake! Make sure your purchase is from autotoys.com. These articles are proof we know what we are doing and that we WORK IN CARS! We work on the newest cars with the newest products.

Mercedes S Class with a AVIC 9 Navigation System from pioneer with a Pioneer AV6010 monitor and a Panavise mount

 

This is an installation we did in an S-Class Mercedes Benz. We kept it as factory as possible, with the install of a Pioneer AVIC 9 DVD Navigation DVD system and a Pioneer AVDW6010 monitor. No holes were drilled.

 

The products we used in this install included a Panavise S-Class Cellular mount for the AVDW6010 monitor.

The AVDW6010 6.5 Pioneer monitor has a built in IR receiver for the Navigation's remote control and a built in speaker for the voice commands. Whats unique about the AVDW6010 is that it is FULLY DETACHABLE. You slide the unit down and it locks into place (connections also), when you need to detach it, it will slide up and out without any need to detach any power and control cables! This makes things ultra easy. Using the AVDW6010 monitor, we also were able to control the Navigation system directly and when the Navigation disc is not inside, the customer can watch regular DVDs, VCDs or listen to a CD. The Navigation DVD (included) covers the entire US and Canada and includes all Points of Interest.

 

It is VOICE GUIDED, say something like GAS STATION and it will bring you to the closest gas station. Say RETURN HOME, it will bring you home. Name your friend's house, with any name (for example, my favorite girlfriend) and say that "my favorite girlfriend") and it will understand and start plotting the route. This system is the ONLY Navigation out on the market with MULTIPLE type of driving displays (drive it like a video game) and is voice guided. It also has telephone # search (you can also use your voice to input the numbers), address search, closest freeway search and much more! (see also our LEXUS install for more photos and installations!)

Test fit for the DVD unit in the glove compartment. We needed to make a few modifications, including some custom work with Vinyl (see our tools department). The DVD unit has a fan on the back, you need to give it air and make sure when you close the glove, it will not damage or crush the DVD NAVIGATION unit.

Errrrr, autotoys.com is founded by real installers.
we integrated the NAVIGATION unit with the factory radio so when the
Navigation speaks, it will mute your factory radio (see above)
