I just Order the Pioneer AVH-P4100DVD headunite. should have it installed with the next few days.

 

Looks cool but if I were going to spend that much $$ I'd be getting NAV too.

 

already have a tom-tom, and the build in nav system can take a bit to boot up, i really don't want to wait 5min for music to play in my car.

 

I have that model...I love it

 

i so can not wait, sick of the factor radio and CDs. then i can use my 30gb ipod. I'm also planing changing out the factory speakers and have the new ones power by a 4-channel amp. still looking into that.

 

thats the unit ive been checking out (wow bad out of context lol)
Let me know how the instal goes!! main concern is will you be able to close the waterfall door thingy??

 

My AVIC takes about 20 seconds to start playing from my iPod. NAV is ready in about another 20 seconds.

 

my co-worker does audio installs for extra money now and then, and he hes done a few TC's with that same head unite. lucky all we need is the wire adapter for Toyota. other than that the stock brackets bolt up just fine, and i believe we can adjust how far the head unite will sit in the area. all in all should take about 30min - 1hr to install depending on how fast you can splice wire together and remove the need interior pieces.

i'll post a few pic of how it sits and any mod you my need.

 

cool, i was at a show and this guy was demo'in a Nav system took 5min to boot, i guess it loaded some wired 3d maps and just really slow. but like i said i already have a tom-tom, so i figure i save a few $$ on the head unite since i have Nav. already. plus i have my G1 so if i leave my tom-tom at home, i can figure out where i'm at.

 

anyone got the pioneer Avic-z110bt? it looks cool but very pricey i could get myself some new rims wit that type of money

 

Please do!!!! since ill problably be purchasing one of these two:
Alpine iXA-W404 or pioneer avh-p4100dvd
and any tips for install will be welcome!!!

 

I've got the AVHP-4000DVD (one step older) and the door closes just fine. I would imagine the 4100 should be similar but then again, the D3 takes some work and cutting to get it to close. Wiring is super easy, just like any other deck except for video parking wire (got a switch on mine). The D3 has a toggle built in under the VOID sticker I believe. You can click my avatar and it'll take you to my cardomain page for pics.

 

To get radio to fit all you have to do is drill new holes in the factory brackets. Also remember you need to pick up the toyoa double din dashkit (basically 2 small black pieces that fill the gaps in) for your install.

 

I'll find out when i go to do the install. but i think I'll be fine with out the dash kit, the stock one i hear works fine. but like i said i upload pics and any mods that need to be done.

 

You'll want the dash kit. Trust me.

 

I may pick it up. but it should be here by the 19th... hate shipping sometimes.

 

hey... hope ya'll dont mind... I think this Q is fairly on topic

for those of you like ack that have already done an install of a DVD HU... how anything special you had to do to hook it up to the stock harness? I have a 2008 tC that has the Premium OEM Pioneer and Im looking to put in a DVD HU myself.
thanks!

 

@ LuckyPablo7 from the installer at my work in order for the screen to slide down properly you wont be able to shut the door but i guess well see how this install goes

 

i would check on google, but i would have to guess off the top of my head the wire adapter from wal-mart would work fine. do you have a factory amp?

 

pioneer FTW...i have the avhp4000dvd and love it!
