looks good fella !

do you have any other audio mods ?.

If not, some 3-way or 4-way door speakers will make all the difference !

Limited,

when you upgrade your head unit, it will make the factory speakers a little better, but only to a point... turn the volume up to high, and it starts to distort, because the factory speakers cant handle the added power, however small the increase is lol...


like i said a good set of door speakers will make all the difference for your audio !!!!

Its a pioneer avh-p3200bt it made the speakers sound much better and its much more convenient as to it gives you more options with the sub. With the old deck it was just bass and treble. This gives you two more settings and the option to shut the sub off completely of course it was a separate wire that has to be purchased, also if i paid 80 more dollars i could of had the volume control work on the steering wheel. Also if you wanted to add navigation its 400-500 dollars more. which is ridiculous

Absolutely what Caldwell said. Not sure what speakers your model has, mine were all 6x8's and very affordable. Definite improvement over stock, I think the stock speakers were made of paper plates painted black with a tiny little magnet glued on....

yes its perfect I watched a movie on it and I have a disc with music videos and it is displayed perfectly. The only downfall is u cant drive with them playing unless you have the parking brake down. Luckley mine doesnt work so I can have it slightly down and watch videos while i drive..lol

theres a fix for that. it costs like 10 or 15 bux on ebay. just search ur model # and add parking brake bypass and im sure u will find one.

My understanding is the $10 fix says to ground the parking brake cable wire to the ground wire....

Kind of like charging someone $10 for a bitter coffee fix. For $10--add sugar...

There are plenty of more detailed "fixes" using multiple wires and a relay on youtube. You can check them all out for free. No experience with this myself so I cant say what works and doesnt. But I do know watching videos seem like the lane swerbing women who paint their nails or use that eyelash contraption while driving. I stay far away from them.

Blackberries, PDA's, cellphones, DVD's, curling irons, newspapers, eating cereal, etc etc are best left outside of the vehicle. Drinking coffee is okay as long as you dont spill it on your crotch and its not McDonalds 2nd degree burning temperature.... Thats worth a few million.

looks sweet.
did you have the rear DVD? if so did you integrate it?
The only thing keeping me back are the steering wheel controls, and integrating the rear DVD, which add, i thought another $200 or so.

yeah I installed the AVIC_Z110bt back in FEb. in my 02 limited and wasn`t that bad you have too buy the PAC module to keep the steering wheel controls, mine just had the sub from factory, it didn`t have the rear dvd montior so I didnt` have to contend with that, on my AVIC_Z110bt I had to move a wire in the harness then ground the parking brake wire and everything worked going down the road

I have the same Pioneer unit in my 04 Eddie Bauer. How did you go about installing the bluetooth microphone?
