I have same FJ. Stereo unit looks good!

Great discussion... I needed to see it in place. Looks like I’m going to go with the DNR1007XR, Focal Utopia M, and Audio Control D-6.1200... should make for a good front of cab set up.... Currently have full JL Audio 4 10” 2 Hd 750/1, C5 6.5” 1 Hd 600/4, will be moving the C5 5.25” to the rear of the cab.

Cool unit, was looking at them just last week and this vid answered a couple of things i was wondering about. Might put one in my Amarok once funds allow, will go nicely with the Hybrid Audio and Helix treatment i gave it this week.

Does anyone know how far the screen comes down past the double din opening at its highest setting adjustment? Don't want to buy it to find out it hits my air con knobs below. I've got about 20-25mm of room below the opening. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the product update. Just got a pre-loved, stock 14 Fj and looking to begin upgrades. Any chance Sam is willing to share his list of FJ upgrades? One of the best looking front bars i've seen to-date. And I've spent hours checking on reviews with none that I can admit truly look like they integrate to suit the look of the vehicle. The Kenwood is also a new addition to my shopping list. thnx John

I would love to give you the full list but I know its a kilometer long at this stage hahaha. Basically everything you can do within reason. There are 2 sides to the story on this one as the electrical system alone has just as many if not more hours in it, and that isn't including the stereo lol. Are you more interested in the electrical or body and mechanical upgrades?

Front bar is a TJM (Australia) T13 Outback bar. There are a few brands in Aus that make decently "integrated" bullbars. TJM, Uneek and ECB for a start.

What brand are the speaker pods?

Hey boys great video and very helpful. I own a Mazda 3 MPS 2013, to remove the A plastic pillar isn’t easy due a retainer clip/strap that’s fiddly to unclip. Can I skip DAB + antenna connection and connect just the factory car antenna to the unit. Cheers 🤙🏻

Hey fellas, where did you get the info on the upcoming 2021 Alpine products? I'd love to look into them, coz I agree, I'd pay scary money for this Kenwood if it had a digital output. A volume knob, LDAC, DSD, 14 band PEQ + 13 band GEQ, HDMI in etc etc they really nailed it!! I wish it had a generic OBD2 reader too, missed opportunity. But I want to see what else is coming out before I drop $$ on this. Cheers

Not a problem mate glad you enjoyed it 🙂 There are a couple of different ways you can run video. First is wireless mirroring, this can have mixed connectivity depending on phone. It's generally better on Samsung's with smart view and a few other decent brands. Not sure it the iPhone can do it at all, there was an app for usb mirroring but Apple stopped it from working. The other way is to use the hdmi port in the back. You can either run it out and use an adapter on your phone or ecen just plug a chromecast in and use that 🙂

I enjoyed this as Jay looks like one of those guys who actually enjoys his job. So after watching the entire video I am thinking I want one of these units. So I followed the links below to the Phatt audio concepts website and, well, its lovely and all that, but no clear information about installation services or products. Perhaps I'm a little out of the loop. I am now thinking its a high end place and probably too classy (expensive) for my pedestrian budget. I also have to admit complete ignorance into what the FJ owner actually has in the back of his Car. Holy shit. Whatever that was, man it looked wonderful and expensive. I only have draws, toilet paper and a fridge. Anyway , for fear of being laughed at, what would the cost of an installation be for the same head unit in a stock Fj?
