I would go aftermarket. The RF system uses high level (speaker) leads and a converter to drive the amp. Proper twisted pair RCAs would be far superior. I also think the power lead to the amp is pretty weak.

Also, the RF sub hangs way down into the trunk. A thin mount sub would be much better.

Hi all -thanks for your thoughts on the system. The dealer rang me today and said the custom fitters came back with a quote of $5000 - they told them it was too much - and to be honest - I agree with them. So he said they have asked them to re look at a package that will not be so costly. They are supposed to be letting me know tomorrow. Sigh -yep - another day of waiting!!! I dont think they will replace the head unit -just put in a great set of speakers around the car....

$5000 OMG! Did the dealer say you wanted to enter it in audio competitions?

Hehe - yeah it was a bit over the top... I recon I would have been bouncing out of my seat! I was hoping for a quick solution - but it looks like its going to take a while for me to get this sorted... : ( - ohhh well the car is worth it - still really wrapt with it.

Congrats on the new car! Seems we here in the states get the shorter end of the stick--we only have rear sensors. How do the front sensors work?

If the dealership is willing to retrofit the entire car with the RF system, I'd let them do that as long as it doesn't affect the other features like murcod mentioned. Otherwise, I'd see if they'll just give me some money back for their mistake. ;)

Heyyyy guys, i think i may be the youngest Kizashi owner in Australia lol. I bought my Kizashi when i was 18! Now I'm almost 21 so i've had to the for nearly 3 years. Won't be selling it anytime soon. I've added a Catback exhaust system to my car. People ask why the hell i'd do that but when they turn the car on and have a listen, they know why. It doesn't sound asif the driver is trying to make himself feel like his in a V8 car. It's just perfect. I've also had my Windows tinted which turned out really good. I've replaced my original filter with a K&N filter.
Soon when i save up a little more money I hope to buy a nice body kit for the car and some cool rooms. Nothing too fancy but to give it that nice look that it deserves!

Has anyone else made any changes to their car?
