Pioneer AVIC-HD3BT install...

oh, I'll say it again. That looks real nice, a great set up.

It all hooks up to the steering controls too?

That's a pretty sweet unit there, with so many features. Plus, being so flush in the dash, it looks like a stock Nav/TV system you get on most modern cars now.

What's the rest of the system look like?

Good work.

Yep, it needed a separate CAN Bus interface to enable the steering wheel controls. What that gives you is volume control, a/v input selection. Actually haven't tried the phone button yet, but phone connects no problem.
ABSOLUTE pain transferring my phone contacts. Because I have a Dopod 838 Pro, I can only send one bluetooth business card at a time. I will easily fill up the 400 memory capacity of the AVIC, PLUS when I do transfer one business card I get multiple entries in the AVIC phone book, This is because typically I have for one contact a mobile, office, fax & maybe home number. These are all transfered to the AVIC as one business card, but the AVIC creates a new phone contact PER phone number & not per contact name.

Hi Jon,
There is no rest of system, it is all in the head and the interfaces are all tucked under the dash.

Looks OK.
PLUS when I get the rear camera fitted next week, I can also at the same time have that up on a split screen next to the nav.

Then you can reverse your way to timbuktoo!! Woohoo!!!

In all seriousnes - awesome looking setup. I went a paid a visit to BlackVr6 last week and got some prices on having something similar fitted. I bet it set you back a pretty penny! Awesome job though - looks very OEM+

Thanks 99gti, it certainly does blend nicely into the dash & it certainly did cost a pretty penny. You get what you pay for these days

Had the rear parking camera fitted today.

Fantastic clarity on the picture, really, really good (and I do cctv security cameras as part of my job), so I am very impressed.

I had the camera on whilst driving, man, very weird. Kinda like race cam.

While post a couple of photos in a day or so.

Hi,

i meant the rest of the speakers, amps, subs or whatever you're running. Unless you're just going with the sweet head unit and stock speakers?

Aaahhhhhhhh, got ya
Just the head unit. AVIC has improved the sound of the stock speakers by leaps and bounds.
I'm thinking if I dropped in a sub and changed the speakers the car might explode

I have noticed that I am missing some of the sound clarity compared to the Bose speakers in my Audi, but as of yet I haven't tweaked the equalizer. I will see how I go

Here are a couple of pictures of the rear camera in action:

not too many places to put the camera unfortunately
reverse selected

Dude that is sick as! Looks great, are u happy with the user interface? Must have cost a pretty penny but worth it if u do alot of driving (unlike me ).
