Fitting Intravee to an ///M with Nav & DSP what a B&st&rd

[Raify]

With PVR's awesome knowledge of how to strip the interior, it would have been a 30min job. The only reason it's complicated is the stupidly short cables.

Once in, it's a brilliant addition to the car. Gives you complete and simple access to all your music on the nav screen. It's the best iPod integration I've ever seen in a car.

I hope it's worth it, TBH my Dension IceLink Plus did a good job, but as I hadn't fitted it, it was a now or never choice.

 

[pvr]

Your Icelink Plus did not charge the iPod and could not show half the information that the Intravee does.

Remember to switch on the "advanced" options so you get a whole load more to configure as the default is MKIII computer, not MKIV.

It charged the iPod, showed ID3 tags on the DVD screen, along with Playlists and artist and album selection.

Yep, more or less what I said then :rofl:

[pvr]

i don't see the attraction in this at all!! Maybe it's becuase i'm not a techy geek!

If you like your music it's essential, I don't remember mine being that hard to fit 3 years ago when I did it either, and I have the CD changer and NAV etc. I have a coupe mind.

The Intravee gives you your ipod on your NAV screen, cracking piece of kit.

I know you demo'd it for me...But it just looked a nightmare to install! - Loads of wires by the battery... are all the issues ironed out, i'm sure you said it was freezing occasionally?

Sure i like my music, but i listen to alot of mixes, so i put it on and leave it on, i don't need to change it for at least 2hrs more the time and i'm rarely in the car that long...

I'm not a techy at all, i only got an iPhone last year! lol!

It's only really two wires and all are hidden and occassional freezing cured through software update.

I'm always changing album etc so it works for me,

I feel the need to re emphasise that the Intravee install isn't beyond anyone with a basic level of DIY skills. Take the bulkhead carpet away and it's readily apparent what needs done, especially if you search the previous installation threads on here. People are being put off installing the Intravee because of the misconception that it's a complicated install, there's an Alpine DAB unit for sale on the forum for this reason. All it takes is a little time and patience.

 

[srhutch]

Well finally had time and temperatures above zero to get my Intravee install finished.

In the end I had to remove the CD Changer as I could see now way of getting the carpet up in the boot far enough.

So Intravee and alpine unit are located where the CD Changer was.

I made a small hole by the light in the storage compartment to feed the iPod and serial leads through. This also meant if the Intravee was removed the little hole wouldn't be noticeable.

Put it all back together and I made up a blanking panel from a DVD cover to cover the hole.

Updated the Nav to V32, Intravee also updated to latest version, so just have to work out how to use it now.

 

[pvr]

Excellent, the first mod you ever finished :evil: oke:

 

[pvr]

Oh, and working in the garage today so if you need a senseless target to drive to, I can take you through the use

 

[srhutch]

Funny you should say that, the thought had crossed my mind but for Saturday morning, how are you fixed then?

Excellent, the first mod you ever finished :evil: oke:

I completed the Nav in the last car in the end.

 

[Stuart Truman]

Let me know how you get on with the intravee please? Especially how many of the extra menu features work with the car, I'm really tempted!


Tapatalking...
