Another satisfied customer! Super quick delivery, easy installation, and I quite like the included screwdriver too! High Recommended! Tom

Thanks man! That was very helpful! That took care of the last couple of "issues" I had. The Z3 is now installed, and works great! Took your advice on the heating gun too, a lighter works just as good! I appreciate all the help, I know I would not have been able to install it myself, without it! Tom

I had already connected the VSS from the PAC (purple with white stripe) to the Reverse Gear Signal Input on the Z3. Should I attach the pink VSS to these two as well? Or should the Reverse Gear Signal on the Z3 have gone to the Reverse Light on the PAC (Green wire)? Oh yes, I do it outside the car. It was a relief to find that I could do it this way. I expected to sit crunched in the car all weekend long.. and with the temperatures being in the 100s, that would be unbearable! I believe this pink cable is the last one I'm missing, and then I should be done. Thanks! Tom

I went out and got a soldering iron and some heat shrink tubing and a heat gun. While I am enjoying this more than I thought, I prefer to do it just once! Does the Car Speed Signal Input get used for anything? I haven't been able to find a wire for it on the PAC unit. Looking at the harness inside the car, I see a pink wire going to it, but that's it. Also, the subwoofer cables on the PAC are green and purple, does it matter which goes into the red/white cables that came with the Z3? Thanks for your help! Tom

Yes! I cut my hand on some metal piece trying to take that plug out by reaching behind the console. When I got it further out, I finally saw how to remove that plug.

Ok I have couple of other somewhat stupid question: -How do you guys attach the wires to each other? I got these "butt connectors" from Radioshack (16-14 gauge), but I'm not sure if those are right. I also have some tap-in squeeze connectors, which looks like they could work? -Should I just pair up all the cables I find that do match? And it's ok if the shade of green is a just a little bit different than the green I'm attaching it to? This is my first attempt ever to install something electronic in my car, so I hope you can forgive my questions here. Finally (hah! Right), w

Thanks guys! That is very helpful! I think I will look for that shelf or use the area under the instrument cluster. The signal should be good enough, even if it's covered like that, right? I'm feeling a little intimidated by all this. I got one of the PAC harnesses today, which I thought would make it super easy to install, but there's a lot of wires on there! Hopefully when I get started, things will fall into place.. Tom

Thanks dawgbone! Did you install on a Mustang as well, or another car? Tom

Executioner and mroaches: Where did you guys place the GPS antenna, and how is it working for you guys? I'm installing a Z3 in my 06 GT this weekend, and I'm not sure whether to take it all the way back to the rear window, put it up front or what.. Thanks, Tom

Hi all, I'm getting ready to install a Z3 into my 06 Mustang this weekend. I've located the light green parking brake wire, as well as moved the yellow wire, with two black stripes, marked MUTE (CRW1358-A) into the bottom right location on the connector 2 socket. Now my question is, and it may be really stupid, but I have absolutely no knowledge of anything electrical: How do you attach these wires to ground them? I understand you attach them to an unpainted piece of metal on your car, but how? The black grounding wire looks like it could be attached under a screw because of the wa
