My NAV/DVD install.. avic x910bt w/sirius

posttal · #1 10-10-2009, 09:32 PM

I just got done installing my avic x910bt and thought i'd share the experence.First let me say this..both crutchfiels and sonic are wrong..the factory sirius WILL work on the after markets..they both said the connectors were different but in fact if you remove the plastic cap from the square factory antenna end you will find the typical round sirius connection.heres a pic..

I mounted the gps antenna here..

I also made a shelf where the factory sirius was to put my pac steering wheel controls and sirius tuner..

I wrapped the unused rca cables to prevent any rattles..

Then I drilled a hole in the center console and ran longer RCA cables thru the console so I could just open the storage compartment and access them to hook up a ipod or itouch..

And this was the finished product..

.
Oh I also bypassed the screen so the wife could watch fantasic4 I of course I only listened to it

Over all The pioneer Aviv x910bt works great.and i love the fact I can change the led button color to match the factory color.The navigation is teriffic in both 2 and 3d..the sirius works as it should and the steering wheel control are as good as the stock radio was.The splash sreen is cusomizable with your own pictures..and it plays video off my i phone.The only other thing I might ad is a hdtv..I have one bookmarked on e-bay and for the right price I'll ad it also.

Great mounting spot for the GPS Antenna! I hope it works well, that would save a lot of annoying running of wires to the roof.

The kenwood GPS antennas are magnetic so thats where I put mine too.

I'm not sure where he got his from but I got mine from 6th Avenue Electronics. They are an authorized dealer and you can get these units for a good price from time to time. They are having some kind of sale going on right now where you email them what you think you should pay for an item and you can haggle on the price from there. I ordered mine from them about a month or so ago and paid $768.

I downloaded bunch of them from AVIV411.com
its a good site for hacks,mods tips etc for pioneer systems.Then do yourself a favor and download Avicfeeds 2.0.You can use it to set the size of your splash screen pic as well as nav point icons.You can also plan a trip,save it to sd card and when you plug the card in it will set you navigation points.I use it just for the splash screens.

Avic411 is a great site, makes the unit so much more pleasant to use. Do you mind linking that splash screen though, I love it!

I just ordered the Pioneer Z110BT.
I need to know what wiring harness for my 09 Lariat SuperCrew and from where. Can some please help?

I also need I guess that PAC SWI-PS unit. Yes?

I have the Z series myself and I love it. I'm not sure if where you mounted your antenna is a good location.

The antenna has worked out great..no problems and it works like a charm.I'f heard from a few guys that say thats where they mounted there antenna.
Hey Sopher..I got my wireing harness from SonicElectronix.com.The pionner has a diagram with it and so does the harness from sonic..you pretty much just match the colors.
