burnin4 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I recently had a Pioneer AVIC Z1 installed into my 05 LGT. I am so happy with the results, a truely amazing dvd/navigation unit! My installer spent roughly 40hr's on this job, everything came out perfectly. He has pics of the install from start to finish, I'll pick them up tomorrow and post them up. I just went on a 25hr road trip, watched dvd's the entire time . The surround sound is unreal, couldnt be happier with this system. I have Boston Acoustic Z series components in the front and rear, JL 10w6v2 and a JL 500/5 amp. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v733/burnin4/DSCN0719.jpg?t=1164583289 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burnin4 Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 ^ I'm friends with the owner of the shop, and he wanted to make sure everything came out perfectly. I bought the avic z1 off ebay for $1525, and a few hundred for labor. There is an extensive amount of work involved with installing these units, including the fabrication of a custom bezel.

burnin4 Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 looks like in the first pic that you changed the power button on the radio? I had the jl audio cleansweep previously, but no longer needed it after the avic install. I didnt want a hole in the radio, so I left it there, kinda looks stock.

chuckzul Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I'd really like to know how he fit that in the cubby slot. I installed mine and could not get the thing to fit lengthwise. There is a dash support beam in the back of the cubby hole and I could neve figure out how to get around that. I'd also like to know how he fashioned the bezel.

You cut the dash support hacksaw FTW! If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough. - Mario Andretti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure he cut the dash support beam, I remember seeing pics of a saw and lots of sparks. The bezel was recreated with a bondo type material, and then painted to match the dash. This owner of the shop told me this was an extremely difficult install, but it came out perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
