AVIC-Z1 Install Questions
Hey all,
I've been wanting to throw a nav into my '06 Touring for some time and now with the metra kit, it seems like it's finally possible I went to car toys today and they had a sale on the AVIC-Z1 for $2050. They told me that they could install but that I would lose the OEM Bose Sub functionality in the process. I'm not a huge fan of the OEM system, but I don't want to replace it and the amp just yet (especially near the $2k I'm gonna drop on this). Anyone that has done an install have this problem?
They basically quoted $2500 for the kit, install and bluetooth. I said F-that because I see it on Amazon for 1.6k. If the harness, kit and bluetooth cost $200~300- then they're making out with $700.
Anyway, I've never installed a system, but I've done what I think amounts to my "homework" on this and I'm pretty tech savvy myself. Is this something that I could pull off on my own if I ordered from Crutchfield or something? Or is the 700+ for an install worth it? Or better yet, does anyone have any recommendations for installers in the Seattle area?
