Since it's a slow day on the board, I figured I can contribute by finally taking a few pics of the Trooper install me and my friend Ian completed about 5 weeks ago. It's pretty basic looking, but does exactly what I wanted. Sorry, there were no pics taken of the actual install. Pics are available on riocar.org but I've also included them here.


Yet another Trooper that I've bought (my 3rd). This one's a 1998 and is Automatic transmission. It's also the most deluxe one I've owned with leather, cool wheels, and fake wood on the interior.


This is the first dual head unit install I've done. I think it came out really nice. The main HU is an Alpine CDA-9847. The empeg is connected to the Ai-Bus's AUX adapter.


Also connected to the Ai-Bus is an XM satellite radio adapter. In this photo, XM is the selected source. With this setup, I have the best of all worlds. Empeg, CD, CD with MP3 support, XM satellite radio, and AM/FM if I want to listen to commercials.
