Will the Pioneer Avic-Z2 simply fit right into where the stock system fits? It looks like the screws will line up perfectly and it's double-din sized. If I get this installed (already have new amps, speakers, sub) will all I have to do is just make a custom dash ring to fit on the outside of the unit and fill in the area left over from the stock deck (e.g. the two knobs)?

Also, I've read about "PAC Modules" on the forum that will integrate the Bluetooth steering wheel controls into aftermarket decks, but I can't seem to find out more information. Is there something like this that will work for the Z2?

Thanks!

Please do post the pics... just got a 3G TL and I'm wanting to put in my AVH-P6800DVD (pioneer). Just want to see how your install looks to make sure i want to do that. Did you lose your stock Bluetooth capability at all?

Excellent! Looking forward to it. I'm tryin to decide if i should get a TL with Navi and convert the screen? or should i get one without nav and put in my own screen... what do you think?

dave0935

when i was in the market to purchase a "new" car, it was very hard for me to find a 3G in the color (int/ext) that i wanted (even though i work for a dealer), for the price range i was in. so i ended up picking up the non nav. i really wanted the oem nav, but just took too long so i got a anthracite 6 speed w/o nav. what i am looking forward to is not having an "extra" dvd player, and not being able to add on from there...so far i have been very happy w/ my decision, & i know i wont regret the Z2 w/ all the features/capabilities it has (plus the bypass is out finally). wont be too much longer ,

looking forward to see the turn out! I want to get rid of the factory unit and replace w a double din touchscreen, but haven't seen a single pic of one done that way. Dunno

Cool... i think i'm leaning towards a 3G without nav, cuz I have my Pioneer AVH-P6800DVD unit, and i would really hate to lose that. I am still alittle new to this, so what do you mean by 'the bypass'? And do you know if we lose the Bluetooth system if we take out the stock radio head unit?

dave0935

the bypass is pretty much an update dvd that allows you to watch dvd, etc. while driving & having to use an additional ground wire. not sure about the bluetooth just yet, im assuming it might still work since the "hands free link control unit " is not inside of the stock head unit. for the bypass check out www.avic411.com
