I was going to try to install a head unit on my Z this weekend but I am having touble getting into the dash. It might be that I just don't have a large enough screw driver but I can't seem to get the bottom outer screws from this picture to come out:

If anyone in plano/richardson has exp taking the dash apart and can give me a hand today (saturday) hit me up...

beer and pizza will be provided

 

man...a Z is a beyotch to work on...glad my cousin is a head installer at CarToys....saved me hundred of dollars on my system

 

As far as head units go... so far the Z looks easier than any other car I have ever put a cd player into I just don't have the right tools since I live on my own now. I think I will end up going out and buying some new tools this morning and see if that solves my problem.

 

WD-40 took care of the screws

 

What head unit are you putting in?

 

AVIC-D1... taking it kind of slow so far.

I took part of the dash apart last night and got to those screws before I called it a night. Then I woke up early today went to walmart got a better screwdriver and some WD-40. Then I took everything out only to forget that I forgot to take my cd out of the OEM head unit so i had to plug it back in. Now I have the avic-d1 mounted in the console thing and I plugged it up to make sure it works... not without a little trouble... see:

Now I just have to figure out how I want to mount the GPS antenna (pretty sure I am going to have to cut something) and I should be all done.
