Now to add a couple of rear power sockets to run off the Aux battery. The lower one is an Engel socket, the upper one is a normal 12V Cigarette socket and I also wired the inverter to permanent 12V on the Aux battery.
Detail shot of the Luggage Hooks that I bought from Pelican Parts (many thanks to the other Pradopoint Members for this tip).
Fused distribution block for the rear power sockets is hidden in the rear LHS storage area.
Override switch for the SBi12. This one doubles as a switch and and indicator in one!

Major body upgrade with new ARB Deluxe bar, Safari Snorkel and Lightforce 240 XGT's (HID Upgrade). (also did high beam HID upgrade at the same time)
Also added Rhino Rack Pioneer Alloy Platform and Foxwing Awning.
That's it for now. The wishlist is still long...
* Bilstein / Lovell replacemnt suspension (can't go with lift kit of it wont fit under the garage door)
* Winch / Synthetic rope (most likely go with the Avenger Mako 9500 after it's strong review in the recent 4WD Action comparo).
* Front ARB Air locker.
* Rear Work light/s.
* Rear camp table integrated onto inside of the rear door. (look like a great DIY project).
* Overhead roof mount DVD Screen/s.
* Front aftermarket recovery points (Outback Ideas)
Argh, when does it end
Thanks for looking.
Ben.

Great looking rig mate. I should've bought a VX!!! Just wondering how you fitted the Lightforce to the ARB bar. They only have 100mm bolts and the bar has 12-14mm holes. My HID Genesis seemed to move around in the hole a little unless they were REALLY tight. Interested to hear how you mounted them.[b]2013 GXL LC200 TTV8[/b]

I used the existing holes to mount the lights and once they are tight, they are rock solid. No movement at all.

The main head unit is the IVAW520EBT + NVEM300P nav module. The lower screen is a TMES370 and the camera is a HCEC105. The TMES370 is not available any more ( I had it left over from a previous installation).
I'm using the Alpine Steering Wheel Interface SWCC10, and I get all functions except for phone buttons and voice commands. There is a more expensive interface available from PAC called an SWI-RC which will allow the phone buttons to work, but not sure about the voice commands.
A complete fascia kit is available to allow fitting of the aftermarket head unit and it suits the GXL and VX model 150 series. The kit includes a storage pocket that goes where the OEM head unit was. It has a retractable lid I removed and replaced with the lower screen, so I still have use of the storage area behind the screen.Last edited by VXWesty; 28-04-2011, 01:22 AM.[SIZE=1]2011 Crystal Pearl VX D4D Auto, MT ATZ 4 Rib, Full River 105AH / Redarc SBi12 DBS (TJM Tray), CKMA12 Air Comp, Alpine INA-W910R - PDX-5 - Type-R Speakers, Engel MT60FP, Rhino Alloy Platform, Foxwing Awning, Rear 12V Cig and Engel Socket, ARB Deluxe Combi Bar, Safari Snorkel, LF 240 XGT's + HID Upgrade, HB3 (9005) HID Upgrade, Bilstein / Lovells 2" Lift Suspension, Chip-It, Alpine PKG-RSE2 Roof DVD Monitors, Maxtrax, GME TX3540 + AE409L, Avenger TDS 9.5, ARB UVP, ARB Protection Steps.

I had the head unit and fascia kit fitted at Alberts in Morley. The guys there are very helpful and knowledgable. I fitted everything else myself. I had most of the gear from our previous car but the guys at Alberts Morley sell both brands so you can see them in action. Personally I think the Alpine unit outperforms the Eclipse unit in sound quality, screen resolution and ease of use. It also works much better with iPhones.
They can source the storage box as it comes with the fascia kit and brackets for the new head unit. It's not a particularly cheap solution but it is much better than the factory system and worth doing.
