The installation was pretty straight forward. I will post some instuctions and additional pictures. I still have to install the back up camera and I am not completely satisfied with the bezel. The texture is wrong. I want it to look like it is factory.
Pioneer makes some other units. I installed a Avic D1 which is an older model. (+/-$500 off Ebay). Avic D2 is identical. They have a motorized screen that folds down to access the cd and dvd drives. The GPS/Nav cd has to be in the dvd drive for the nav to function, but the cd drive is still available. I got mine used off Ebay for $300.
The Avic D3 doesn't have the motorized face, but is a newer model. (+/-$600 off Ebay). It has 1 combo drive so if you have the GPS cd in it you can't play cd's. It is however Bluetooth capable so you can make phone calls through it.
The Avic Z1 has a motorized face, has Bluetooth and an internal hard drive, so you do not need to keep the nav cd in it. (+/-$1200 off Ebay). Great system if you can afford it.
All three are XM ready, MP3 ready, support auto switching for backup camera and have auto day/night switching (reverses colors) which is nice. Without that it is like having a spot light in your dash at night.
Pioneer also makes a Avic N series that fits in a single din slot and has a fold out screen, in case you do not want to cut your dash.
Other manufacturers have similar products, but I have no experience with them.
Good luck, Lou
