radio and mic placement. shit cell photos sorry...

sav · 01-07-2013, 10:45 AM

Nice! That's probably a better spot for the mic than where mine's at currently.

I see you don't have a background image on the radio yet?

It's easy to install the mic in the factory location. I have no issues with my Alpine mic there.

It's a bit of a mission but if I remember correctly you need to load an 800x600 jpg on a USB stick then use the media player to "play" it, take a screen grab and then you can select it as a background image.

Or something like that...

Also set the speaker size in the settings, it makes a nice difference.

where's the factory location? can you take a pic and post?

rbizzle004 · 01-08-2013, 02:50 AM

I have a BRZ but I am guessing it's in the same location. I can't post a pic right now but it's in the headliner by the dome light. There is a plastic piece that has a couple slits in it. It pops out and mic is attached to it.

Nice price... A helluva lot cheaper than the other offerings so far...

sav · 01-08-2013, 04:09 PM

Check the shipping price.

(and R520 duties)

You may as well get it from dx.com since that's probably where they're buying their stock from. If not from alibaba.com

Hey Kaptein

I have basically the same unit. Just the 630WBT that fits in the slot perfectly, no gaps. But same software. Would love to load Android on this baby. User Interface is a bit gay...
