Default Re: Pioneer AVIC-Z1 Install

Excellent write-up. Did it take you longer to write all that up then to do the actual install??

I would agree with the massive amount of wires for the stereo. I think the hardest part of the install was just trying to route all of the wiring. I also have the iPod module so that adds another cable and 2 wires. Fortunately, there is pretty much room in the dash.

I'm curious how well your GPS antenna is working. I'm thinking of moving mine there also. How many satellites are orange on the connections screen?

One thing I have done recently is to add some spacers between the top of the stereo and the trim ring for the dask kit to make it line up with the dash opening a little better. I actually cut some small pieces off of a mouse pad and slid them in there. They were the perfect thickness.

I like where you placed your camera. I think I might move mine there also. I have it over the license plate right now and you just don't get a great view to the passenger side of the vehicle.
