any models that are compatible with the stock ipod connector?

 

I just installed mine and I love it.

And the seperate box you have to install is only like 3x5 and makes the Kenwood a whole lot faster since it doesn't work off a disc. You also do not have to buy new discs to update it, you can download the updates from the Garmin site.

 

does anybody know if the AVIC Z1 works with the stock ipod connector and the steering wheel controls?

If it does... then I'm really considering getting it.

 

nothing works with the stock ipod connector, and only Eclipse DVD units work with the Steering Wheel controls out of the box. Some other ones can make it work with an adapter

 

I have the Eclipse AVN2454. I love it! Gotta love the plug and play ability!

 

A great deal going on right now for the Pioneer Avic D2, from certain premier dealers, you buy an Avic D2 and get a free Pioneer S1 portable unit. And its not a mail in rebate type deal, you get it in store with the avic D2. A local shop in the detroit area is selling it for $750 and they are even an Authorized Premier dealer.

 

sounds like a good deal. which store in Detroit? and how do you find a Premier Dealer.

 

for sho id go with any of eclipses products if you want the best sounding audio. if you plan to go with an amplifier down the road, eclipse uses either 5 or 8 volt preouts to get u the best, clearest audio with out turning up the gains on the amp. plus eclipse has a total customizeable feature to them, you can do sound alignment, custom wallpapers, custom eqs and bunch of others on their website www.eclipse-web.com. check out their pro tuning microphone for advanced audio controll.

Eclipse is made by Fujitsu-Ten of japan, the same company that makes our sions, toyotas, and lexuses. the great thing about their top end decks is that they have the factory toyota plugs on them, so u need no expensive harnesses. just unplug the stock deck and plug in the eclipse, even the steering wheel controlls will work with the eclipse. i work at circuit city and ive installed plenty of pioneers, eclipses, alpines, ect. eclipse always gets the best sounfd and performance.
im not sponsored or anything, its just i own a car from a superior car company, whynot get the best of bothworlds. now as far as their amps and subs, in my opinion their ____.

one dope thing that you can do with a pioneer thats pretty dope is get their vehicle dynamics processor and you have gauges on the screen. it has a g-meter, tach, speed, volt and some other meters, and it funcions as a gps unit for lower end video monitors. so if u want to save some cash, get an older compatible pioneer deck, the vehicle dynamics processor and gps, and be the dope dude with the digi tach in ur dash. check out their website www.pioneerelectronics.com

 

It's Car Tunes, they have 5 stores, westland, roseville, pontiac, allen park, berkley, you can probably find dealers on the pioneer electronics website.
