Re: 2009 Smart ForTwo
Goals:
1. Achieve a high level of sound quality while maintaining a classy look with impeccable attention to detail.
2. Incorporate an iPad mini as the source unit.
3. Continue with the theme of no loss of trunk space.
As with my Civic, I reached out to John of JT Audio and Accessories to help make the install portion happen. Unlike my Civic where I did portions of the install, my wife and I decided to let JT really showcase his talents on this one. Perhaps the only thing remaining from my previous work on this car are a couple power cables along with where the amp is mounted (under the seat). This is to be replaced in the near future.
I'll let the pics speak for themselves, but every time he sent us an update, our jaws just dropped. Wow, amazing, awesome were words often used .
Ok, let's start off with the source unit as mentioned. iPad mini integrated seamlessly into the dash. Alpine RUX-C800 installed right below it. For those not familiar with the Smart, there's usually the controls for hazard, power door locks, and TPMS indicator right below the HU. The controls have been expertly relocated under the steering wheel.

Re: 2009 Smart ForTwo
I saw car a couple weeks ago while JT was in the middle of the build. Needless to say it cleaned up very, very nicely.
The pics are beautiful, I'm sure it looks better in person.
Have you started tuning yet? How do you like tuning with the remote unit?
