01 Path with Sony CDX-GT700HD

Postby sesanchez » Thu Apr 14, 2011 5:50 am

Yesterday I finished my new radio install in my 01 Path.

I got the Sony CDX-GT700HD with Metra ASWC and the American International NC-K717 mounting kit.

I must say the process was pretty much painless and I really enjoyed putting it all together.

I do have two questions though...

1. The mounting kit, I had to trim quite a bit on the mounting brackets for the trim bezel to fit again in my car. And its still not 100%. I may disassemble to trim a bit more. Is this normal and expected? The guy next door told me to go to Best Buy and get a mounting kit from them. What would be your advise?

2. The Metra ASWC (Steering wheel controls) works nice, but when I push the down arrow, it turns the radio off, instead of going back one station. All other controls work as they should. I called Crutchfield Tech support and they said that is the way the ASWC recognized the car and theres nothing to be done.... I guess I can live with that, but I need to make sure theres nothing to be done

Thanks all!

You guys inspired me on doing this myself!
