What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

One of the most useful pieces of organization gear I have as well

 

That is the answer I was looking for, thanks. Yes I am familiar with the different ways to capture speaker signal, as well as DSP's and what they do. I was just wondering if you were getting a premade harness, or cut wires and re-route. I was considering using an intercept harness myself for the audio build I am doing, but in the end what I like is clean sound, and the best way to achieve that is proper wiring and DSP/Crossover/Amp/Speaker hardware.

 

Where did you get the mounting plate for the d-5-1300 ?

 

Yes, proper wiring and I like sealed boxes built to the lowest possible specs for the sub...nice tight bass.
There's clean wattage and dirty wattage. Incorrect wires and a Walmart amp will give you dirty wattage.
Gold plated battery terminal with a nice thick ga. power wire.
Use gold plated connectors on all wires, too.
Clean.

 

Thanks; I may give that a try.

 

That belt in the center console brings back memories. 7 years of mid shift on the flight line.

 

Scored some slightly used ditch lights, complete with harness and relay which looks a lot like my cali-raised fog lights harness. Now the hard part is I got these not realizing I don't have a second set of hands to hold the hood steady while removing hinge bolts. I still need to get my hood struts kit installed as well. Gonna be a busy weekend as I got to get the Mini Cooper in the garage for O2 Sensor's replacement, engine bay clean, interior clean/de-mold of seats, and if I have time, take a look at the brakes and see how trashed they are. On top of all that, got to swap out right front fender well liner and under tray on my GTI.

 

do you have to splice or do something with the main line? If you run it to the box, then plug in the airplay into that, does the airplay have a USB port to run to the dash switch?

 

LOL got those also carry too much stuff LOL

 

I for one would enjoy seeing your progress. I always wondered how that would work out.

 

Was thinks about doing exactly that.

 

Realllly smolllll update (literally) but I'm geeking out about it too much to wait to post it with other things.

Last night I swapped out the white cubby light for one that comes on the RAV4 that matches the rest of the blue interior lighting. It's way cooler than it should be and it is a direct swap. Took about 5 min to install, but if you have sausage fingers you will not have a good time. Worth it though.

Ahh... I did buy an add in harness so I don't have to cut the stock harness.
Got this one... https://www.autoharnesshouse.com/82193_info.html

 

Washed and waxed my baby. Used the Toyota pinstripe remover (touch up paint pen) on a few spots

roof had a pretty annoying rock chip right in the middle where the windshield joins

 

Should be PNP. Pull the USB port out of the dash, plug the extension cord into it, run the extension into the glovebox and plug the adapter into it. Get a blank (or a switch, etc. for an accessory) and pop it into the opening where the USB port used to be. Done. Or did I miss something else you want to do?

EDIT: Having said that, I searched and couldn't find reference to the size of the existing USB port's opening so that something else could be installed there. So I created a post to see if anyone knows what size it is...

Looks good man! Glad I could help you spend money lol.

 

If you go lower, the screen will tell you to get fuel. Been there 2-3 times, looking for a place. Too big a pucker factor to get like that...

 

I'm almost at 16, no turning back now. Although I don't work on the flight line anymore. Lol

 

would i need to already have apple car play in the taco? or will this add it? i have a 19 and it did not come with it
