All of the positive comments are right on! I got my drive faster than I expected, and got it installed today. Thanks so much Garret! You are awesome!

did you ever find an answer to your battery draining prob? I'm having the same problem on my truck, batteries were too drained to start the truck (there's 2 batt's on my diesel) Dealer told me the batt's are fine, but there's a draw coming from the stereo, about 100 miliamps. Had the stereo installed for over a year, and it's just suddenly starting this? I also have a remote start on the truck that has also been installed for about a year. I find it odd that it just started killing my batteries....any suggestions would help! Thanks.

Steve,
I just installed my Avc Z-1 in my 2005 F250....it was super easy with a dash kit, wiring harness from Circuit City and wiring info from [url=http://www.the12volt.com]www.the12volt.com[/url] I have never installed anything electrical in a vehicle, so you know it had to be easy if I accomplished it without a problem :D I just ordered your bypass circuit, but have not installed it yet...just haven't had time. It looks like most of your questions have been answered, but just to throw in my $.02 I found the reverse wire by pulling out my fuse box and going from there. It was a black wire, with pink on it...but the pink was more purply than pink. I found at least two other wires that were black/pink, so I just used the one from the fuse box. The VSS wire, I just spliced in behind the wiring harness from the vehicle. I hooked up the AVIC's illumination wire to my dimmer wire, and it works fine....but again, I haven't installed your bypass yet (my AVIC is pre-June '06) And lastly, I put my GPS antennea under my dash. When I took out the radio, there is a bar straight in. I put the antenna on that bar just to the left of the air vent. It works perfectly =) In a couple of weeks I have to pull apart my dash to add in all the extras I recently ordered, hopefully that will go as well as the headunit install! Good luck with your friend's F250.

Steve,

I couldn't find the exact part number anywhere in my manuals. You saved me a lot of stress and headaches :D
Micheleok, I'll skip the story and explanation....but I need a replacement rear monitor / camera input harness....i,e. "RCA connector 2" Any idea where I can get one? I tried the pioneer web site, but no luck. I sent them an email, but probably won't hear from them until at least Monday if ever. Thanks,
MicheleThanks so much for the replies, I think I might go ahead and get this camera to give it a shot. I really like the audio thing, if it will work, so I can hear someone outside talking to me when I'm backing the trailer. It'd be great if it works! Thanks again
MicheleI like the switch idea... thanks. I was hoping there'd be a way to hook up the audio, thought it'd be cool if I had someone outside helping me, I could hear them clearly, and they could point out things I might not be seeing on the camera. Oh well, I guess that's what walkie talkies are for....or just yelling back and forth :wink:Hi All, I'm waiting to get my Avic Z-1 in the mail, and I'm ordering all my accessories while I wait :D I am going to get a back up camera for my truck, but my question is, can I hook up two rear view cameras? I have a 27' camper trailer, and would like to put an additional camera on the trailer so I can see way back there when I'm towing/backing. Also, I found this "wireless" one on ebay:

I'm curious about the quality, but also notice it has audio capabilities... is there a way to hook up the audio to the Avic Z-1 too? Thanks for your help and opinions!

Second gen Ipod Touch with Z2, does it work?

My Touch works with my Z3, but it only plays the music...doesn't charge the Touch, and of course no video. I just leave an old ipod mini hooked up to it and leave that in the truck.
