Mod of the Day

Hi there,
can you tell me where you bought the center console and how much you paid for it?, looks perfect, I'm thinking of buying one in carbon or one just like yours for a double din, but I want a perfect fit and I do not know who sells them.
Thanks and keep goin whith the good work, looking good.

Nice work!

I have a question, where you buy the double din console frame?

Thanks

The center console I purchased from BerzerkFury02 from this forum. To my knowledge it was the only one he made. I placed a wanted to buy ad and he replied. Shortly thereafter Prime moderators got a hold of him and after a falling out he was banned. Something about not providing an address. Talking from e-mails he has no real interests in making these anymore. I paid $280 all in with the ash tray door and shipping to Canada. The shipping alone was probably $40-$50. The address that it came from was a Texas address. Not sure what the real problem was but Daniel always kept me in the loop of what was going on and he kept my name confidential in while he was arguing with the lawyer/moderator.

My weekend mod was the SOS screen and navigation install. The parts used were:

Science of Speed 7" screen
OEM Honda navigation pod
Xory72 navigation pod holder bracket
Science of Speed double DIN bracket and harness
Pioneer AVIC X930BT
Pioneer 920XM satellite radio module
Hasegawa Kitagawa Sigma ( aka HKS) CAMP 2

First step was to mount the remote control sensor into the machined plate. Science of speed says to silicone the sensor into place but I decided to use some foam tape which the aluminum bracket then holds down.

Testing the screen a little bit to make sure it works

Next step is to remove the OEM Honda felt tape from the sides of the nav pod

....and then you begin to cut apart the piece of plastic that Honda charges too much money for. The first two shots are the tabs that need to be trimmed. The screen can't really go forward with those tabs in the way. I suppose you could leave the tabs on but it wouldn't look very good. For cutting I just used a regular razor blade and just pushed it along with my fingers. The plastic cuts away easily.

Test fitting the Xory72 bracket. It attaches to the factory mount in the car where the clock used to be. The upper screws go through the nav pod and hold it down very nicely.
IMG_4317.jpg


IMG_4316.jpg


I loosely tied the screen controls away from the mounting points since they are not necessary.

I cut the silicone nozzle at an angle but it's not necessary. Also after this picture I ended up cutting more off since it wasn't coming fast enough

More to come for the screen later but you have to let the silicone dry over night.

I bought a half height antenna and fog light switch from Australia. My plan was to wire the switch in between the antenna lead from the stereo to the actual antenna thereby having control of when it goes up and down (it's way too tall and really ugly). I succeeded at doing that but it also turns out that the same lead turns on the amplifiers in the car. So when I push the button the antenna goes down and the sound turns off but everything else still functions. I'll probably leave it like that for now considering the antenna lead is in a plug where you have to take the dash board off to get to. While I was at it I also wired the internal lights of the switches to the parking lights so they turn on with all of the other lights. The donor plugs I got were from a 1999 civic. There is a yellow 5 pin plug behind the cluster which plug right in to the antenna switch as well as the same green plug somewhere around the blower motor ion the inside of the civic. Both plugs work. The 6 pin switch was a bit more tricky to find and in the end I didn't get one. I made a 5 pin one work and an extra pin.

While I was at it some of the light bulbs were burnt out so I had to replace them. I bought some 12 volt light bulbs from The Source for $5 and replaced them. It was really easy and the bulb condoms fit on nicely.

The heated seat lights don't match all that well but they're close enough

After this I started taking apart the center console

In case anybody cares here is a short video of the vents doing their thing as I push the climate control buttons

This is the replacement vent piece

This is the antenna adapter ($13 at Certified Radio) which allows me to use both the mast and glass antennas with both feeds going into the nav.

An eternal sports mind for me
IMG_4335.jpg


First thing I did for the navigation is to get the speed sensor wire. There is a convenient one going to the gauge cluster thereby making the wire have a short run to the stereo
IMG_4336.jpg


It is the orange wire

I needed to find a place for the XM module. Since my car is a 2005 it doesn't have a bunch of clunky electronics in the "computer stack" There is plenty of room to mount the module there as well as the excess wiring and HKS module

I mounted the XM and GPS antennas on the Xory72 nav pod bracket. This brings the antenna right to the top of the dashboard since they won't stick to the outside of the car (refer to high school science class if you don't understand why)

I ran the Bluetooth microphone along the A-pillar

The OBD2 port is located up high in the driver's side foot well

The HKS OBD2 plug has twice the amount of wires as the NSX does

Wiring some of the switches up

IMG_4398.jpg


I opted not to use this connection that comes with the SOS screen. Instead I cut off the plug and soldered the wires in directly to the car while still keeping the fuse)
IMG_4401.jpg


The HKS unit is not entirely plug and play as it needs a power source. HKS says to use the cigarette lighter but you can also power the pink wire up by connecting it to 12 volt accessory with the provided fuse and wire.

The lights look more even in real life. My camera is just a point and shoot

The coin tray is a little bit out of line. The mounting points aren't tall enough at the back which causes everything to shift when you tighten it down. I added some plastic material onto the end and it seems to be holding up. There is no mistaking it's aftermarket though.

The nav pod screw covers. You see some cars without them and it looks really bad.

A strange thing with the NSX is it doesn't let you go full throttle according to the CAMP2. I would laugh if that was the way they got the NSX-R to be bit faster. I'm going to try and put full voltage to the DBW system at the throttle body and see if it opens fully. Unless someone knows of an easier way. I assure you I was practically standing on the pedal and 86% is all I got.

KW's look like they've been on for many years
IMG_4433.jpg


Also put a NSX vanity plate on
IMG_4437.jpg


IMG_4438.jpg


Also had to drive back to Edson today to meet with the old landlord. KW's on the highway were really nice. The ride was as good as stock. Down the dirt roads it was a different story and the washboard type roads gave the ABS a hell of a workout. Also a fun fact: the NSX-T weighs 1420 kg according to a truck scale. This was me not in the car with about 55% of gas in it.
