Stereo & Electronics - ****PICS INSIDE- Custom Lighted Dash Kit (Humount) with Alpine Deck****

Here are a few pics of my custom dash kit and my new Alpine Deck. The dash kit is a Humount and has a blue LED backlight. I wasn't too sure about the Blue backlight, but after looking at it, it flows well with the red/blue lighted CD player. I am happy with the way it came out. I had a stock Monsoon head unit before this new Alpine unit, and the sound difference is amazing. The Alpine deck made my Monsoon seem like a sack of crap. I can turn it up pretty loud with no distortion, whereas I couldn't before. It sounds ten times better. If anyone wants information on where to get one, just PM me and i will get you turned in the right direction

That is VERY cool!

Do you have a link to the kit? Anything like this for Camaros?

Looks sweet. Where'd you get it?

non-sponsor link removed

I've got a brushed stainless one with red CAMARO lettering...:nod:

Looks good.

Clean looking setup, looks good.

If anyone is interested in buying something like this, pm me and i can get you some info.

Looks very nice

I have one of these and mine lights up in Red. Do you remember how you hooked it up to what leads? I don't have instructions but I think there's two wires? I need to install it soon. Thanks

The power wire (probably red) goes to 12V power and the ground wire (probably black) goes to ground. :poke: The brown wire in the black connector behind the radio is power from the dash lights that you can tap into.

There also like $80 for that, the website who sells them is (non-sponsor link deleted)

looks nice, i kind of want to do the blue interior swap, maybe after i do a rear seat delete and build a puter in my trans am, so many things to do haha.

Looks really nice.

I just ordered my HU Mount today, but went with the polished finish and the red light to match the stock dash colors. My deck will change to red too.

Have you changed all your interior lighting to blue?

Nah, its still red. I am considering it, but not too sure yet. Its possible I might change the blue Trans Am to red, Im gonna give it a few weeks and then decide what I am going to do.

i like it!

Kelw, but did you guys tie into the steering wheels controls? If so, where did you get the wiring adapters?

I didn't bother with buying an adaptor for my stering wheel controls, mainly beacuse I never used them in the first place. I know they make some kind of adaptors for them, but don't know where to get them.

you can pick them up from kee audio brother or from most any nonsponser car audio/video site....the set-up looks nice man, i am def. a fan!

I just finished up my HU Mount (awesome product!!) last night and installed my SWI-X so I could keep my steering wheel controls. I didn't go with the lighted kit but I did put white vinyl behind the T/A cutout so it matches the car's exterior color (looks pretty cool IMO :nod:). I'll post up pics later today of the finished product.

Yeah, I would love to see how it came out. Sounds like a good idea.

This is the finished product of my HU Mount install. I thought it turned out pretty good with the white Trans Am.

I have that exact HU in my car, and the HUmount thing as well, except mine lights red. They both go good together.

I was thinking of putting the "Trans Am" lettering underneath the head.. any thoughts on that? Might not have to cut out that little nub that sticks up in the radio cavity, too ;)

The plan for me is to hook the lights up to the dimmer, so that the T/A letters get dimmer when I dim the dash lights.. ;)

That would be pretty cool!

I just bought one thanks to this post...I have a blue Sony deck, and White Face Reverse Glow guages that glow blue. I wont hook mine through the dimmer switch though because I keep my dimmer switch off. It lets a funky white glow through the back of my reverse glow's so I just turn em down and all is good. I'll prolly hook it into my fog light switch like I did my reverse glow's. Thanks for this post though, this is perfect!

Connect it to the brown wire in the stereo harness. That's the parking light circuit (non-dimming) and it's more convenient for where you're connecting.

that sounds good to me. I have my parking lights on 99% of the time so that would be good. I am about to do the easy mod to make my fog lights stay on when I turn my brights on lol. Right now I have my reverse glow's hooked up through the fog lights and when I turn my brights on my gauge lights go out...LMAO!

Glad I could help. Post some pics when you get everything installed.

I just picked mine up today.

Really look forward to getting it in the car now. I won't have a battery in the car for at least 6 weeks so it will be a bit of a wait.:bang:

what color lighting did u get?

Im liking that.

what color lighting did u get?


Me?


Red lighting to match the stock interior. I also have a brushed alum. bezel to match it. A nice set of MBA handles would make a nice finishing touch, I will have to see if I can find them in satin.:D

how much does this cost with the head unit?

$65 or so. I love mine, but then you have to buy the HU which varies in price on what kind you get..

Looks good. Side note, it looks like that radar detector is pointing UP?! Do you want to detect the magical radars from above? Get that biatch level!

Ha ha ha, I didn't notice until you said something. I haven't touched it since I took these pics, so Im sure it probably still looks like that. I will get it leveled out tomorrow, thanks for pointing it out.

did you bypass the stock amp or leave it hooked up?? still really good bass with stock system??

looks good man, and its simple!

I put the new HU in the HU mount and I really like this thing.:D

Very rigidly mounted too.

Nice! I'm waiting on the ida-x100 to do mine, and man, that just looks awesome! Unfortunately, I'm a little paranoid about drawing the wrong kind of attention to that part of the dash, so I'm going with the black plastic..

My car is rarely left alone. I only put 2-4k miles on a year and most of those are driving to a cruise night or the track. Then it gets locked it a secured garage. If they managed to get through the security in the garage, I would worry more about my tools.:D

Wow!! That looks great!!

Looks very nice!

How long did it take everyone to get their HUMount?

It took me 2-3 weeks to get mine... well worth the wait IMO.
