NAVIGATION ON S2K?

[S2000]

I have a funny mod idea for my honda now.... I heard and i checked on internet Japanese stock S2k comes with NAV system... Should i try???

[S2000]

and the screen would be on the center console

[Doctor T]

A few people have tried this before...I believe there are actually pics in an old post on S2KI

[ace9250]

Yes but the screen piece that gives it an OEM look needs to be modified to fit a LHD vehicle... Other than that there is a company called Mastergrade that offers a CF piece to house the screen for a Navi in.

[Cyclon36]

Some guy bought the JDM nav piece to try to put it in a US car. There was no way to modify the frame to fit our cars. He ended up selling it. The curves on it are just to conformed to RHD cars. Some people have cut the dash, but I haven't seen one that doesn't look like butcher job or that someone molded a bunch of fiberglass on the dash.

How bad does this look??

[S2k Dude]

It looks okay I guess.

[suzukasue]

I can tell a lot of effort went into it, but to me, it doesn't look like it belongs.

[tamara16]

I agree with Wendy....it just doesn't seem that it belongs....

[S2k Dude]

I agree, it's like saying "hey checkout the traction control system I installed in my car". I like that Honda kept it simple (at least in the US anyway).

[Aaron]

clean install - not what I'd want.....maybe something similar but with a door-cover like our radios....

in zebra wood for Tom :)

Or you could go carbon fiber for 198.00

[Aaron]

except that's a frame, not a cover. but a carbon door might not be bad if you had other matching interior bits.....

sorry for hijacking your thread S2000.

[Cyclon36]

Thinking about doing the mastergrade front fenders? I think those look awsome.

only if it didn't involve tearing my whole body kit off....I would like them and they would work on my car. However if I do, I will be shaving the door handles and doing the rest of the body work I had in mind. That is way down the road.

[Cyclon36]

Oh yeah, that would kinda get in the way of your side skirts and other trim. I'd like to put those on mine if Rio wasn't so hard to match. Plus I heard that they break easy.

[LITTLEELVISDAN]

Saw a new NAV that might fit in the S. It looks like a normal CD player that fits in your dash. Its a dvd/cd player that the NAV screen pops out like a CD tray and then flips up for viewing. I am trying to find a link and some pics to post. I just can't remember which add I saw it in. I do know that somebody does make it though. I'll keep you posted as soon as I find out who is making it.

[Cyclon36]

Yeah, I had though about these too, the problem is the overhang of the vents and dash would prevent the screen from being able to stand up completely. Also, the gearshifter would get in the way of the screen as it panned out of the unit.

The only good way to get Nav on the S is to live in Japan, hack the dash, or add on a Garmin Nav unit to the side of the center console. Other than that, it's pretty much impossible.

[LITTLEELVISDAN]

1 more option. I saw a commercial for one of the new luxo liners. BMW or Lexus or Jag, I can't remember. but it had the same in dash player but the screen was made out of a lexan type of material that came out of the player and was not a flat screen. It kind of rolled out and the lexan screen was bent in a semi-circle, so it didn't come straight out, it kind of rolled out and upwards. That version might clear both the overhang and the gear shifter.

[S2000]

sorry for hijacking your thread S2000.the pictures are awesome.....hoa~! i want it! but too much money..
firstable let me own this place and i start it...hahaha

I'll keep you posted as soon as I find out who is making it.in my stock we got 2001 Q45 with that in there already...that screen is soooo long it will get stuck on our shift before even it comes out fully. let me go out and measure it could prolly work if we take the screens out when we have the reverse gear engaged.

[Cyclon36]

One of my future planned projects is to have a dual monitor setup. One for DVD and the other for Nav. I'm waiting for Alpine to release a stand alone touch screen display to work with the nav unit so I don't have to have a huge remote. The plan is to use 5.5-7" screens on the dash just right of the curve after the gauge cluster and air vents. No huge cutting either. I'm looking to do an istall like they do on the back of headrests for SUV's. That way it fits flush to the dash and I don't have a huge plastic frame like some of the modders are putting on their S. It won't be perfectly plumb, but I'll sacrifice it being at a slight angle to get a flush look with no gaudy fiberglass work.

[LITTLEELVISDAN]

thats been done I was just reading about that touch screen NAV. NOw I got to go into my history to find out which web site I just read about that

Get some rails on the unit so the whole unit could slide out a bit to make the screen stands up better w/o cuttings. iono...me no like math...

Yeah, but I'm specifically waiting on Alpine. No offense to Dewain, or anybody else with Kenwood, but I've heard nothing but bad news and gotten bad experiences from them. I did work in car audio for a while and that was one of the most returned or repaired brands (not including JVC/Audiovox or crap brands of course).

[Cyclon36]

While surfing the official "yellow" thread on S2KI, I came upon this really nice install of a navi system. This is a good idea and it doesn't look butchered like some of the add on screens do.

[s2kjones]

That's kind of far away. It's hard to tell if it's a butcher job or not.

[Cyclon36]

You know, I was just thinking...if he ever got into an accident, the passenger side airbag would blow that screen right into someones forehead. Definitly worth the sacrifice though :D

[Cyclon36]

Now, if he could just get two next to each other.

BTW, does anybody know how much room is behind the dash. Apparently there's quite a bit if he can stick a whole head unit back there. Maybe someone has some pictures of the S without a dash?
