8th Gen Civic "Viper"

[istafa111]

Enthusiasts/hobbyists are encouraged to check Building a PIC18F USB device - WFFwiki; it will be "SUPER COOL" to have 2 DIN Car Computer; running Windows 8 (which is due early next year :P); with some setup as given in the URL; basically controlling Windows 8 using these Steering Controls (H)

Idea for Final Year Project or something!

Nooo wayy!! I don't want to enter my electronics lab again... :eek:

[istafa111]

to make the steering control work with Kenwood / Sony / Pioneer HUs; we need to add resistances; I wrote the existing Honda Steering resistances for reference...as these Kenwood / Sony / Pioneer etc needs different values.

I have seen this thread for like a Million times... You have done an awesome job!
I just came to know yesterday that my standard player also has Aux option. InshAllah I'll get it fixed today...

Sir I don't know the details of that incident, but I am sorry for your loss...

[istafa111]

So Khurram Bhai, today I saw the "new" DVD/Navigation for Civic. Let the pictures talk first...

[istafa111]

Ignore the box beneath this unit. It is not Rockmars...

Interesting facts...

The guy claims it to be the one that is being installed in the Civics by the company. The person who fits them in the company has given him the link and he have imported it from China. The price is around 45000 PKR and the guy also claims that its quality is much better than Rockmars' one.

It looks similar to the OEM one, but I have seen a few changes as well. Maybe this is some other Chinese brand trying to copy the OEM product in detail. I did not buy it because this is new in the market and I wanted to see how much will it sustain its price.

The finishing is good, but I felt a color difference between its panel and the original panel. I could not test it as the guy was extremely busy and I myself had less time.

Now, is it the one that you were talking about? Isn't 45K too much for it? I can't be sure for it as I haven't seen the results so far, but according to the guy, it is much better.

[istafa111]

And yes... nonProsmatec II got aux!

Congratulations!

It looks similar; but its different!

45k for this unit is too much...Anything in this range makes me think to pursue Car Computer thing; it will be the true value for money. The cost and return of investment are concerns. I will never like investing insanely into car entertainment

LOLZ I dont even know the basics of electronics just observe/show interest when someone does anything n learn it!!!! Entusiasm n 'keeraa' makes me do such things!!! love to help sensible/decent n helpful people found here.

yestarday on vist to shersha i saw oem navgtion which atlas is providing is avalbile for 22k

[fireblade]

So Khurram Bhai, today I saw the "new" DVD/Navigation for Civic. Let the pictures talk first...

its not same
nav slot & sd card slot of oem system is at top of d system

neways

this new chinese dvd is far better than d old 1

can u plz tell me where it is located in isb

[fireblade]

Congrats Khurram bhai.

I also did a small DIY of installing the steering wheel in my car. The controls do not work as for now but will soon inshAllah when zunny bhai will hand over the clockspring to me.
It was lying useless in my room so I thought instead of the shelf, I shall place it in my car. Jo bhi hai, shashka to hai naa...

Now, a couple of things...

[LIST]
[*]Shall I place the complete steering wheel, i.e. with all the buttons or shall I only put the audio controls in my steering wheel and install it here? I can make use of the spare buttons as there are a few things for which I'll require some buttons.

[*]I have asked the guy who deals with the audio systems of my cars for the OEM in-dash 6-CD changer. However, he asked me to see a DVD Navigation system that is not Rockmars which would be arriving to him in a couple of days. According to him, it is much better than Rockmars. But whatever it is, it would be Chinese. Now, shall I go for it if it appeals me or shall I get the 6-CD OEM changer?

[*]Last; can we get the motor that comes in retractable side mirrors? I want to know whether we can make the mirrors of non-oriel models retractable without changing the complete assembly like Sattar Khokhar bhai did to his Gli.
[/LIST]

1st of all u cant run steering controls with pioneer, kenwood, sony etc players
u need a device that is AUDIO INTERFACE to get ur controls work with pioneer, kenwood etc

that ll cost u approx 8000/-rs

2nd u can also add retectable mirrors of oriel from used parts shop

[airomerix]

Istafa you better change your head unit as Qasim bhai is correct. Why dont you get OEM indash changer? Costs 15K for a good one!

[khurram_aziz]

"Audio Interface" costs more; they are PIC based thing and designed to be generic i-e to work with all audio controls and all audio systems. They remember mappings; pressing X button send Y signal etc. Therefore they are expensive. If you know the values; you can do this cheap way!
