GPS in SVX?
Has anyone heard of or installed navigation in their svx? Just testing the waters to see if it is even doable...

Should be do-able. I've been looking at doing that with mine. The radio cage should fit most standard double slot sized systems, and then it's just a matter of installing the GPS receiver and nav system, if it's a separate thing.

I haven't looked too in depth, but I would imagine that any of the double-DIN sized units would work. Something like the Pioneer AVIC-Z2 and AVIC-C3. The roll out screen models don't work as well because the radio cage sits too far into the dash, and the screen can't rotate fully upright without hitting the panel above, plus it would block the climate controls.
Here's the link to Pioneer's nav units: http://www.pioneerelectronics.ca/pna...249639,00.html Some nav units have the screen which fits into the dash, and a second "box" which is the actual navigation processor that has to be installed somewhere else. Pioneer (as far as I know) has everything built into the dash unit. There's the reciever antenna, which has to be mounted somewhere too. SVXdc makes/sells wire harness adapters, which should make everything work just fine.

I think as long as it it a double DIN with max 4" of opening it will fit?
Kenwood DNX7100 is one. Kinda pricey though! Quote:

I just checked the dimensions of the radio cage. It is 7-1/16" wide, 4" tall, and 6-5/8" deep. The space between the cage and the radio cover door (closed) is between 7/8" and 2".
http://www.geocities.com/svxdc/Audio...2-RadioRemoval ; Section 2.4.1. That should be a perfect fit for any double-DIN standard size unit.

Keep in mind that the bottom of the face of whatever you install can't come forward too far, or the door will get hung up on it (on the door's inside black panel) about a third of the way closed.

I used to have a Garmin GPS installed right under my gauge cluster, above the steering wheel column. The big issue with GPS is that hte SVX uses some stupid ass windshield that has 'titanium oxide in it' to block UV rays, but it also blocks GPS signals. I had to purchase a 20 ft cable to relocate my antenna in the back window, and then it worked okay. As long as you can relocate the antenna from the in-dash units, you'll be okay.
PS: Look forward to seeing how 'off' your speedo is. GPS is very accurate. |

Re: GPS in SVX?
Pioneer d3 n d2 both fit and look nice, I saw an svx with one in it. They have GPS DVD CD as well as have hook ups for back up camera n such. You can get them on ebay lightly used for under 500 n if you're lucky under 400. Check it out. I think they look the best of what I've seen in SVX's so far, that's what I'm going for. When I get the cash, if my parents don't buy me one for XMAS

Re: GPS in SVX?
I met a guy once with an SVX, I believe his username here was SVXtatic or SVXtacy, something along those lines (It's how I knew there were even forums for this). This was maybe 2 or so years ago, when I met him at a local meet, and I know he lives somewhere in my town. He had the 6spd, TE37's, some kind of big brake kit, and a pimp thing where the stock radio is called a car pc, which, as the name suggests, is a computer within the car. Navi, movies, music, etc. One of his buddies in a 240 had his guages on a digital display in a similar car pc type thing, and he said he eventually wanted to do that when he needed those guages. All I know now is car pc. We should all get them because they fit PERFECTLY in that slot, and might actually give us a reason to close the door/hinge thing when we get out of the car :P
