I forgot to look at how old this was, but i just want to let you know that i have done one 3 times... Long story, but he kept wanting more vs, him going with it all at once like I wanted.
Anyways to do an audio input on the tv input, you will be very disappointed, it sounds very bad. The head unit is a simple piece to intgrate into since it is a BlauPunkt unit and has 4 channels out with a flat response on all four channels. even at max volume.
Everything we did in the vehicle was made so that it would go back to stock. that meant no cutting anything. the subwoofer mount is suspended from the rear deck via a tubular steel frame, also the CD Changer and electronics also. no holes were cut or steel drilled. Yes it sucks to remove the rear deck, be prepared to spend some time on that! Audio can be spliced in on the CD changer, just record 0 bits on a cdand insert it into disc 1, play disc one and use a toggle to switch the input into the factory unit. It would of meant designing a wire harness for it ( we don't cut the factory wires) and really wasn't worth our time seeing we used a Rockford Fosgate 360.2 anyways for a processor (didn't really need that either, but the customer is gadget freak) it has an aux in with a remote volume control.
All in all here is the list of mods
Activated the video input
bypassed the can bus interface into the factory unit to display video while in motion
added sirius
iPod
Bluetooth
6-Disc DVD changer
Alpine PDX amplifiers
MB Quart speakers
JL audio sub
K-40 Radar detector Laser defuser
Simonized
clear ventureshield custom bra
Anyways the factory system sounds horrid, we scrapped everything, the amp has microphone inputs that no matter what shapes the signal according to the cabin noise... and it sounds like crap
Everything i read from Maserati and Bose about the system make it sound like it was so great, and use of lightweight materials. Geuss what? we added about 80 lbs to the vehicle and it still hauls arse!
We had some stipulations from the begining. As he needs his LV travel bag to go in the trunk, car cover, and if he wants to put his golf clubs in... he can
The vehicle was trashed when we got it, So we detailed it also.
