for sale Panasonic CQ-VD6505U

unholycumulus · 07-23-2009, 03:02 PM

I'm considering selling my Panasonic CQ-VD6505U In-Dash 2-DIN 6.5" Widescreen Color LCD Monitor/DVD Player. This does not have navigation. here is a cnet review: http://reviews.cnet.com/car-audio/pa...-32575465.html

I'm looking for $300 shipped. I also have the Ipod hookup cable that would go along with it. From what this goes for online, i believe thats a pretty good deal.

It works perfectly. Just selling to upgrade.

unholycumulus · 07-26-2009, 07:56 PM

thanks! Its a great stereo. Just doesnt fit my wants (fits my needs perfectly.. just not my wants!)

jeremiekc · 07-26-2009, 08:02 PM

Not to steal your thread but I noticed your Garmin Mount. I did the same thing with mine and then ordered a mount that went into the socket and ended up taking it all apart and using the pieces. Just another idea for you I gues.

unholycumulus · 07-26-2009, 10:39 PM

DOod thats really nice actually! can you tuck the wires away when not in use? Good idea though!

unholycumulus · 07-27-2009, 12:38 PM

Yes you can, all you would have to do is pull the heater control panel out. I hard wired it into the fuse panel with a fusable link and ran an external antanea since it sits below the dash. The only thing I would have done differently is use a little shorter screw or epoxied a bolt on the inside of the panel so you could just screw it in there.

Congrats on selling your stuff!!

It looks clean and more stable than mine. That little panel doesnt hold much weight, so it sometimes comes a bit loose but never falls off. AND thanks! Hes a cool guy; stereo will have a good life in Hawaii

jeremiekc · 07-27-2009, 01:58 PM

It is alot more stable. I had mine set up like yours for awhile but every time I would hit a bump I was worried that it would fall off. I will send you a link for the thing that I bought to get the parts. I would do it now but I am on my work computer.

I loved being stationed in San Diego it is one of my favorite places to live.

hey awesome thanks - i'm curious how it is all set up.

San Diego is pretty amazing - just SO crowded.. but quite the amazing place to live. Whenever friends come to visit for a weekend I never can show them everything i wanna show..

Not a problem, I dont have any pictures of the actual installation but I will give you step by step.

The first piece is a mount that fits into the cigerette lighter and then you plug the Garmin into it. I took the bottom part that fits into the lighter off. Use the bolt and wing nut. I dropped the wing nut into the truck somewhere so I went to Lowes and got a small nut. This works better then the wing nut, it allows more room to get turn the heater controls.

Drill a hole in the side of the panel and push the bolt through. It is easier if you take the dash apart, or course I didn't do this part and struggled for an hour to get my big monster paw into the dash. Use an exacto knife to cut the plastic on the mount so that you can adjust the angle of it better. I cut about 3/4 inch back so that I could adjust it to where I wanted it.

Here is the part that I used to hard wire it to the fuse block, I just fished the wire through the back of the dash. Use an add a fuse to connect it to the fuse panel. I don't have power windows so I just used that circuit.

http://www.thegpsstore.com/Gilsson-G...P1718C210.aspx

Then I added the antenna and ran it trough the dash as well. I drilled a hole at an angle between the bottom of the radio and the top of the heater controls to run the wire through.

Then I took some electrical tape and made it look nice.

That is pretty much it. It was definately easier to take the dash apart and work on the radio surround instead of trying to do it in the truck.

AND thanks for the links - i really like the one where it fits in the cigerette lighter.. it will work perfectly for the girlfriend's Honda Accord. I sent her the link and she bought it... when it comes in, i'm gonna play with it and see if i can make it work for me as well.. if shes not looking.. maybe take it apart... haha

jeremiekc · 07-29-2009, 09:35 AM

That is pretty much what I did with mine. I put it in the outlet closest to the passenger side in the truck but it got in the way of the drink holder when the wife was riding. With the location that it is in now there is lots of room. It does block the heater controls a little but not to bad.

I am glad I could help.
