specifications of the factory-installed Premium Sound System
The UZZ32 factory-installed audio system is of high quality and offers the following features:
- front speakers
- rear speakers
- subwoofer
- cassette player
- am/fm radio (Japanese frequency range) with dual in-glass antenna
- 12-CD stacker
- tv-tuner (Japanese spec) with Quad in-glass antenna and diversity circuitry
- Digital Signal Processor (DSP)
- EMV touch screen is used for software-based control of many functions
- hard" controls available for key functions such as On/off/volume, Source selection, Tune/track selection
- AUX input, though not standard, could be added as an option
- "Balanced audio" for cleaner sound
Disadvantages
- Tuner requires external frequency shifter (or complex modifications) to work in eg Australia
- DSP (and tuner?) are failing with age
- CD players are failing with age
- no AUX input unless added by factory/dealer/third party
- no Bluetooth
- no DAB
- no audio controls on steering wheel
Options
Replace cassette player with after-market headunit
Replace EMV with after-market dual DIN unit
Add AUX input and connect eg an ipod
Add DVD player through AUX input
Add after-market headunit through AUX input
===Install a car-PC, either as a replacement for EMV or using the EMV's TV-input as a display
modifications to operate other devices through touch-screen
Example
Requirements:
- retention of all existing functionality
- no permanent modifications to vehicle
- hands free telephone integration via bluetooth
- USB input for eg ipod
- DAB for better quality radio and/or additional station availability
- Line-level output RCA connectors for connection to external amplifier
- Support for wired remote control (so that the unit might be mounted out of sight)
- AUX input using standard 3.5 mm jack (optional)
- Support for wireless remote control (optional but easiest way to achieve steering-wheel mounted controls)
- option for displaying
Solution:
- Pioneer DEH-X8500DAB
- located in trunk (above fuel rank) or under passenger seat?
- connected to stock system through "AUX input"
- AUX input crested by disconnecting the TV tuner and creating a suitable wiring harness
- faceplate (with display and controls) located in convenient location
- infrared remote control for "version 1" steering wheel audio controls
- custom-designed steering wheel audio controls?
