Blaupunkt? Its German Mike. Translates to blue dot or blue point. That's what their logo is

I know it was a German company. Your point? The shamwow guy said Germans make good stuff! It had the features I wanted at a decent price and that was that. I don't have any pics of the installation anymore, they're long gone. Too many computers ago and before photobucket existed. :lol:

I had their speakers in my 76 firebird. I forgot my point I wrote that too long ago

Here are the pics of the install. I painted the interior and added new Coverking Neosupreme seat covers. If you look closely at the dash cubby hole on the right you will see where I installed my Video Bypass Switch. Also added 2'' Rough Country.

Lookes great. I really like those seat covers.

Its one step below the Neoprene, which are suppose to be like wet suit material. But these are nice fit and look good. It had the grey and black to begin with so I left the back seat stock as I have a 6 yr old and hes gonna destroy it back there anyway.

Where did you put the auxiliary input?

I personally stay clear of kenwood.

 

You might want to change that practice. Kenwood has the best double din DVD/NAV units on the market.

I've had bad luck with the Pioneers, but I'd give a +1 vote to Sony or JVC. Straightforward install either way.

This Pioneer was plug n play and is lays flush against my dash, with a dozen or so color options. 7'' screen with backup camera. and gps and Pandora through Iphone (Bluetooth). Also has Mosfat amp built in.

No, no they don't.

    • Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!
    • I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.

    • Checked the pads today and there's plenty of meat on them. If the message keeps coming up, I'll just answer YES that the pads were replaced and wait for the squeal.
