Whoa! Will the door cards fit over this monster woofer??

I think this conceptual rendering looks much better than a real-world double-din (too small for the space) or a floating screen headunit, which will appear to be unnecessarily floating since the actual screen of most of these types of head units could fit flush in the dash. The Teyes unit...

Wow, huge price difference in purchasing abroad vs via Crutichfield (though I never buy through CF). I have no concerns with buying abroad other than the tariffs (10-15% as of late vs 0% before last year). I've read a lot of your posts and you always provide solid advice, so I knew you'd...

how did you make out with the amp and speaker swap?

@willyroo That system sounds fantastic - I could even perceive the soundstage a bit through the video. Shockingly good considering it's running through a Teyes, which hasn't traditionally been known for high SQ. It's all in the setup. I've been toying with buying a Teyes CC4 Pro which has...

@Berkut10r - I'm ultimately going to upgrade to a DSP amp and likely go headless (per your suggestion in a different thread), but while I spend money elsewhere on the truck, I've got blown woofers in front doors and the sub is blown so I'd like to address them immediately. I bought the foam...

Thanks for the advice regarding amp setup. It seems like I need to retain the OEM nav unit for the time being unless I buy a Teyes headunit which are known to be very flakey / buggy and negatively affect the sound quality. But the dedicated HVAC controls are coming so that will open up the...

I don't know the differences among the three versions of the Teyes headunit - I only care about the one that works for my (our) vehicles which is version C. The thing is, it looks the best in the 2003-07 LX dashboard, but it's not the best performing head unit based on reviews. And if sound...

With the HVAC controls in their own hardware module, you no longer need the Teyes, but yes, it will still function as a usable head unit. There will likely be canbus connections you don't need to connect since HVAC control is being handled elsewhere. And frankly, you may not be able to anyway...

Thannks for the heads up on the Teyes - perhaps it's best if I wait for the Anarchy HVAC system and go with a dual-DIN floating screen from a reputable audio manufacturer - I just like the bezel integration with the Teyes - anyway, semi-offtopic but head-units are probably something folks in...

Is this the Teyes head unit? Asking because I'm leaning that direction (looking seriously at the CC4 Pro that recently came out) and wanted to know what you think and whether it's negatively affected the sound quality of the Mark Levinson factory system.

@Anarchy - first, kudos on the incredibly impressive work and public service you're doing for the community. The mock-ups look fantastic and I love how you're going for a factory look. One thing I might suggest for better readability, especially in the dark, would be to use an LED or OLED...

@knuckle47 - you meant Money for Nothing. Still one of my favorite tracks for testing out hifi equipment. I've been lurking here for a while learning about the different approaches to either restoring the original ML system (passable) or elevating the SQ via speaker/amp/headunit replacement...

I'm seeking a clean, rust-free (or close to it) loaded LX570 in grey on either of the interior colors. Doesn't need to have the Ultra-luxury package, but needs to have Lux package with ML stereo system. Accident-free Carfax is a big plus. Miles under 170k strong preference unless the price is...

Yes, in nearly every product category you'll find the same scam. I see it with vintage hifi gear all of the time. The dead giveaway is the free shipping, inspection period, and free return shipping. I mean, get a little less obvious with the scam already. The 'I'm deployed and the car is...
