Hey all,
First of all, nice forums! I didn't realise there was a Liberty club in Australia until I started googling about how to put in my head unit. Can't wait to come on a cruise!
I've just gotten a MY08 Liberty and realised that my head unit install would cost me $400 more than I expected!
I've been doing some research, but this isn't my primary skillset, so apologies if some of my below questions have been answered before(I'm sure they are, but I want to check before laying out the cash).
My interior is the stock system with single zone CC and the factory satnav equipped.
My understanding is I need the following parts:
A-V Panel Set D-F Single
Hazard Switch
Here's where I start to get confused. I've read the big sticky post on the Legacy GT forums, and had a look at SVXdcs site. I don't think I need an i88 harness.
Unfortunately the "parts needed" page doesn't exist yet for the Aussie/JD model, however my understanding is the additional connections from the i88 harness provided by SVXdc aren't required on my one, as it's not North American manufactured. Is this correct?
I believe however his forward harness is required for dimmer settings, however I can source an adapter locally (and not have to ship one from the US) which will be missing dimmer wires. I'm assuming my head unit (Sony MEX-N5150BT) won't support dimming - any way to know that though?
Assuming it doesn't support dimming, I can just pick up one locally?
I don't have SWC either, I should mention.
My understanding is that I'll only need the two parts above from Japan Parts - is this correct? Also has anyone shipped from avoJDM/JapanParts before? If so, what's better/quicker for shipping? Price is pretty similar.
Thanks for your help!
