I have sucessfully put in an Pioneer AVIC Z2 HU. I did tha hack to it myself so it plays DVD, operates NAV, and everything else while the car is in motion. I'll post some pics when I get sometime but wanted to just say that this is a great headunit with much expandability.

Also, I am will to hack you Pioneer unit is so desired for a fee

Thanks,
PG

 

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

 

Check this out! http://www.saiaco.com.tw/

This company here do all the interface... like ipod av aux and usb...

and we still can use our OEM head unit..

it is great...

i want to do the group buy i dont know if any one will do it.

 

Looks interesting if I wanted to keep the stock head unit...

But I want Nav and DVD's and BT and iPod

So aftermarket it is for me...

 

thats great news i have one on the way as we speak should be here thursday or friday. With BT and ipod controller. Ill prob be pming you soon for some info on the hack if thats ok. Grab some pics when you get a chance cant ever get to many pics .

 

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

 

for the steering wheel controls you will need a pac adapter

 

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

 

humm cant tell ya for sure on that one bud i have a 06 and am installing this week. But i still wont be able to help with that bump for another reply with a 07 good luck with it.

 

Thanks 2006350zSA, let's see if anyone with an 07 tries it out. If anything i might be the one to take the plunge and see

 

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.

 

I just got my Z2 in today from Costco...
Just waiting on my crutchfield order so I can get it mounted...

I will post pics once it is all together

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

 

just got mine installed yesterday man this unit is sick. I love it already and havent even had much time to play wiith it. I went with the scoshe dash kit they said it was a little harder to install witht he mororized unit. But i think it looks awesome. Almost looks stock if it wasnt so bad *** lol. Ill post pics of my full install tomorrow sometime. i would highly recommend it if you have the money.

 

Hey, what did you use for the bypass?

 

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?

 

thinking about upgrading to the Z2 from my p6800dvd...

pics!!!

 

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
