i was thinking of installing this http://www.newscionparts.com/product/?id=1641
what do you guys think?

 

Looking good. Not to be rude or anything but how much did you pay. I only ask because I want to get the same exact setup with sirius instead of xm.

 

 

Did circuit city install the bypass too? Cuz if they did, I dont think they are supposed to.

 

i installed the bypass myself but um the whole package cost me $2600. fairly good price. the manager of the of the installer guy made me a pretty good deal so yea i suggest u go down there and talk it out... worth a shot

oh, by the way, the way i negotiated was i printed out the cheapest price i could find online and i showed it to the manager and we found a price in between.

 

2600!?!!? what price did you find online? I have found these for 1499 from a reliable source, and 1399 at a less reliable source.

it looks very nice though, congrats!

 

Looks tight...To get around the bypass, just ground the wire that is suppose to connect to the e-brake...

 

1499?? -- U gonna share where??

 

actually, $2600 included the headunit, XM, ipod, blutetooth adapter , the bypass, and the PAC SWI PS. it aslo included the installation price. i think its pretty good

i read somewhere at a forum www.avic411.com that there was a problem if you keep it grounded all the time

 

ygpm.

 

the reason i didnt buy mine online was because Circuit City is an authorized dealer of pioneer so if anything went wrong, they would just replace my headunit for free. Plus when i went they had the free installation on any pioneer systems and 0% APR for 18 months. i think thats one heck of a deal

 

Hi,

I am interested in this machine as well, primarily for ipod manipulation. Is it easy to get from say an "A" artist to a "Z" artist or does it take a while if you have many artists?

Thanks

 

^ I'm wondering that too.

 

actually, it takes a really long time. but the only reason i got it was because i can control it from the headunit. all i did was i just made a couple of playlists with songs that i like.
