i didnt realise the back had so many cables! being a n00b, did/do you need a separate JVC ISO connector to interface it with the speakers/amp in the car?

It looks worse than it is. Mine just plugged straight into the ISO connector. The other wires (RCAs) are just if you want to fit an amp or two.

Hey lordmike, could you do a few checks when you get it setup mate?
I want to know if when playing a cd/mp3 track, and say you turn the car ignition off, when you restart does the track start from the beginning or continue where you left off?
Also whats the scrolling like on the id3 tags? some pics of the gui would be nice.
410 sounds rather appealing tbh.

L0rdMike, is the faceplate not the same size as the DIN height? (looks overside in this photo). I thought it was more flush fitting than that but it looks as though it sticks out... is it missing a surround fascia?
also, whats that thing just below it that says "push"

The thing under it is my Toyota cup holder and a little tray.
The head unit is pretty big and does over hang a small bit, I had to take the surround thing off as it wouldnt fit with it on.

Honestly doesnt bother me that much.
had a look at the demo unit in halfords yesterday... i didnt realise the faceplate was going to be so reflective shiney. its not going to fit in with the rest of the dash. bummer
has anyone else made the commitment and bought it?
L0rdMike, have you installed the TFT alongside the unit yet?

When you fit the jap stereo cage thing, put some washers behind it and it'll bring the stereo out by a couple of mm which allows you to fit the surround without any problems

When you fitted your screen did you have any probs folding it out with the unit on?
I put mine in quickly and I have to fold the screen out then put the head unit on.

I couldn't fold the screen out while the JVC front panel was on, it's just too thick so you need to remove the panel first.
Soldato
Yeah same here.
Thanks for the screen didnt work at first.
When I took it apart I didnt put the power cable in right.

Looks very familiar!!
haha, and an MR2 too 
what screen is that btw? not that i'd copy or anything
the oversized headunit is a big off putter - i really like the unit but what if it now does not fit, darn thing!
