The nav adapter costs $350 I think. Not really worth it IMO.

How much was the head unit itself?

i paid 500, but it was a preorder from crutchfield and came with dash kit and harness.

they can be had for much less elsewhere.

I paid 429 off eBay. Bought the wiring cables from various other places.

Where did you get your dash kit from?

dangsy · 05-08-2012, 11:33 PM

Would installing a P8400BH be pretty much the same equipment wise?

slowhat · 05-08-2012, 11:46 PM

Yes. same

badz · 05-09-2012, 12:17 AM

Just got an MRP-M500 and a Pioneer slimfit 10" sub installed. This pretty much complete's my audio setup (until I crack and buy some upgraded components)! I'll probably end up taking some pictures of the whole setup and if I do, I'll post them up.

xlr8onu · 05-09-2012, 12:22 AM

Please put up pics. Where is slim fit sub mounted? Any rattling/buzzing?

I had a custom enclosure fabricated by a local guy. It sits underneath the false floor of the trunk (where the spare tire sits). It looks great, and with the slimfit I get to keep the spare in the trunk still! The MRP-M500 is under my passenger seat too so no one's gonna know I'm rocking a mono + sub in my car unless they know me, or heard me as I drive down the street. Everything is completely hidden.

I'll post pics in the next couple of days.

Ying · 05-09-2012, 08:20 AM

Yes pics please in a new thread to stay OT here. Particularly curious about the false floor set up, though, and the shallow mount sub. What material is the enclosure?

I bought a hatch for the purpose of having space so neither of the sub boxes I have from other cars make any sense to install because I'd loose a bunch of storage. Really love to have something like you do that maintains the spare and still gives some extra punch.

amfreeman · 05-09-2012, 12:59 PM

I made this under my floor MSG me if interested

Barrettrw11 · 05-09-2012, 02:32 PM

That's a clean install. How much was that altogether?

Java Black Pearl STi · 05-09-2012, 03:30 PM

I think I'm going to go with the P4400BH as well... The thread was started in February, how are you liking the unit now? Anyone else with it, how do you like it?

I've only used the AVIC D2, D3, and one of the Z's... My sister and her husband have had those in their cars... I never had an in dash unit and this one fits my wants... I was fine with installing it myself but forgot about the steering wheel controls which gave me a little worry; I still think I should be okay though...

I am just as pleased with the 4400 as i was on the day i bought it. no issues, and no complaints.

and you'll be fine installing steering wheel controls. just get the right harness from SVXdc

Java Black Pearl STi · 05-09-2012, 03:45 PM

Great, thank you!

+1. I've never installed a radio before and I setup the SWC, BT mic, and obviously the harness with little problem. As long as you have the patience you should be fine to do it yourself.

It was about 100 bucks for the materials. It was my first time making a box or using fiber glass so I took my time. I probably had a good 25 hrs in it. I cut the top piece 3 times till I finally got the curvature of the back of the car so it sits perfectly in the space!

I just put up a thread with pics of my custom enclosure. Let me know if you have any questions.

I too give his HU high marks. Functionality is superb. I actually find myself using the touchscreen to answer and disconnect from phone calls more than I do with the steering wheel buttons for some reason. I do use the track and volume buttons on the steering wheel quite a bit though because they are pretty small on the HU.

If I'm knit picking, the only thing that irks me is when I bring up my recent ingoing/outgoing call list, select the person to call and then hit the "dial" button on the touch screen, it doesn't seem to always work the first time. Not sure if it actually just takes some time to communicate with my phone (android) or if it really doesn't begin the dial process when I hit it the first time. I get antsy and just press it again. Anyone else have that issue?

zolaman · 05-11-2012, 09:34 PM

How does this HU compared to Model: AVH-P1400DVD?

I just want better sound quality and do not need bluetooth or any other functions.
I know p1400 model is still capable to use with the steering wheel buttons but how about the ipod/usb ports under the glove box. Would I be able to connect those to the HU?

zolaman · 05-11-2012, 10:04 PM

haha Thanks.
Just decided I want a bigger screen so I'll just get the p4400.

Barrettrw11 · 05-14-2012, 08:54 PM

So I just installed everything and it worked perfectly. I unlock the doors with the key fob and it worked, but when I went to lock the car the key fob didn't work. I turned the car on and the radio, clock, dome light, and reading lights wont work now. I pulled a few fuses and everything is good. Anyone have any ideas whats wrong?
