what after market rear view mirror do you have?

[DerSchwarzenhimer]

is this the stock audio system? or did you add a sub?

very original review

[JohnnyGification]

That was a fun ride. I just sat back and enjoyed your driving lol.  None of that racing crap, just a nice drive. Ohh, I have the same stereo.

thought of a 3rd question

Does this particular garmin unit have the ability to show time and/or miles remaining in the trip rather than only being able to show time of arrival?

[steguis]

I don' t think so.

[JokerJ333]

two quick questions about the nav:

#1 does it actually do the text-to-speech with road names?

#2 each time you enter an address does it prompt you with the option shortest time vs shortest distance (as opposed to one being selected as a default at all times)? If so...does it include the time/mileage of each option?

[steguis]

#1) Yes

#2) No, you set the preference once in the settings.

nice headunit man..how much was it?..thinkn bout puttn one in my Type S

[whisperingvenus]

Hi, any cons so far with the headunit? does the faceplate detachable? thanks!

[steguis]

No, so far it's been great. I can't imaging owning a car that doesn't have all these features. No, the faceplate isn't detachable.

wasup i got the dnx6140 with back up camera kenwood ccd2000 how is it possible to view the back while driving? i could not figure out because i can only see the back when i am on reverse

[steguis]

There's an option where if you hold down the NAV button for more than second it'll either turn off the display or show the video-in (rearview camera).

[isvram]

does the unit lowers the music volume when speaking the the directions? or it completely postpones the music to say the navigation directions? let me know thanks

[steguis]

You can have it either mute the volume as it gives direction but the nav itself also has a separate volume you can configure so you can have it speak over your music which is how I have mine configured.

@steguis how did you mount the camera?

[steguis]

It's just a license plate mounted camera...nothing special. I didn't want to drill my bumper.

[drjd2real]

Is the Ipod album art clear and is there a lag between tracks because of album art loading?

[steguis]

The album art is clear but small-ish since it's only displayed in a small square on the upper left hand side of the display.

[isvram]

i got an vbp type S, what double din trim kit did you use to place the dnx6140 in your dash? american international or mertra kit? thanks

[steguis]

It scoche (or whatever the spelling is). I used a metra kit I think for the wiring harness.

[SJNew05]

Your audio sounds great in the car, what setup do you have? Sub, Amp, Speakers? You should do a walk around video on the system, so we can see it. Great vid, thanks for sharing.

[steguis]

Believe it or not everything else in the car is the stock Bose setup that Acura includes in the RSX Type-S. The only thing I changed was the head unit and it makes a huge difference.

[gtnick44]

Yo u video was real DOPE!!!!!!!! NYC all day... how much u paid for your deck?

[steguis]

That HU goes for around $750 from a reliable shop on Ebay. It comes with everything I demonstrated except for the ipod cable which is an extra $30.
