Yeah pics please!!

I found a great price on this unit at Costco...

Also, what dash kit and wiring harness did you use??

I want to do the hack and install of this unit on my '07.
Also want to add the Bluetooth and ipod cable so if you have pics of those as well that would be cool

pgn29 congrats on the new head unit, quick question on the bluetooth, not sure if you had the bose with bluetooth from factory, were you able to keep the steering wheel controls?? for track/volume and also phone functionality?

if anyone knows that this can be done i would greatly appreciate any info.

Thanks

Do you know if the pac adapter will also recognize the answer/hang up button on the steering wheel for the phone functionality?

Yes, I got one in each one of my car. I love them, did you do the voice activated and blue tooth to. You can also do a Ipod connection.

warning.....the freken thieves love to still them. One got stolen in my Tahoe and the second one in my Ford.

Oh and I will definitely be hacking it, I have the iso so it should be fairly easy...

get on avic411.com everything you need to know is in the stickies there. Its a two wire bypass and you burn a cd from your comp and download an update to the unit itself i did it works great.

I'm very interested in the unit. Does it have an extra "TV-out" feature to support 2 screens(running different channels)? I want to be able to play DVD and have NAV running at the same time. Is it possible?

Default z2

z2 has many output options.the map info is stored on 20 gigs of the hard drive so not only can you be using the nav with voice command you can also watch dvd or when you put any cd in the drive it automatically gets ripped to the hard drives libary.there is a bypass that needs to be performed but it very simple.i have one and think its great
