  1. Thanks, that was the answer I thought it would be. The bezel would need to be replaced from the factory one. Trying to get an 08' Suburban at a good price as nobody wants the big SUV's anymore. Problem is I have an 03' trying to trade, dealers don't want to give you much for them on trade. Catch 22.
  2. I can't tell from this picture if this is a double DIN or a new configuration from Chevy. Notice the headphone input at the seam. I'm waiting to get an 08' Suburban before the Z3. http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/img_popup ... otoIndex=1 photo 19 of 27 Let me know your thoughts. Anyone confirm this is a DD opening.
  3. Actually if a company has a (MAP) Minimum Advertised Price policy & a retailer violates the policy, a company can choose not to supply that company with stock. I'm a retailer for several companies that have that policy in effect and I try to adhere to the policy. You'll see some examples of a-holes on eBay where retailers try to violate the MAP. The thing that sucks is it takes sales away from the retailers who honor the companies policy. I suspect if sales are booming for the F series, the prices will stay high for a while.
  4. It's a bummer Pioneer didn't go with a 7" screen for the F-90BT. Seems like a sweet unit but the downsize to 5.8" . Really only loosing 5/8" on the diagonals. You can see the size difference when the screen sizes are lined up. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/ ... on/In-Dash. Jason, can the voice promp directions be turned off? Nice review btw!

  7. I have a 03' surburban. I think you just saved me a lot of time hunting down wires. Thanks so much for the useful post and all your efforts. Love this forum and I don't have a Z1 yet. Soon though for a road trip planned this winter to Mass.
  8. What will the Pioneer CD-SR1 control on the Z1? Will all functions work as if you were using them on the touch screen? Can you switch between Nav & DVD on the fly? If a cop is coming up from the rear, can you quickly swithc DVD to Nav? Also I hate seeing fingerprints on a LCD display. Thanks
  9. For those of you shopping, a $20 rebate is available from [url=http://www.pricegrabber.com]www.pricegrabber.com[/url]. Every little bit helps. That puts 6th Ave. at $1495.06

    A Few Questions

    thanks murzik. Kind of sucks there is no trip counter. It is cool to have that feature. I bring my Garmin Ique3600 sailing & it keeps a trip log and leaves breadcrumbs where I've been in the sound. It is cool that it is made for roads, but also shows accuratly over water. We have a new bridge here not on maps yet, so when you drive on new bridge, it shows your driving over water. I wonder in the Pioneer has that new bridge. It is like 5-6 miles long. Does anyone show a picture of the antenna on the web? I've only see pictures of the head unit. Anyone have pics of it? Thanks in advance

    A Few Questions

    Hope someone can answer a few simple questions. 1. Can/does the have a trip counter? Such as the Garmin iq3600. It will give me total miles traveled, average speed, total stopped time, max speed, ect, ect on a given from: to: destination. 2. Where do most of you guys have the GPS antenna moounted. How does it fasten? Adhesive? screw down?? Cable long enough to route to rooftop in 03' Surburban? OK a few more than a couple of questions, but I keep the planning in my head and getting ready for an eventual install. Thanks guys, gals
  12. Sort of off topic, but will the Z1 work w/ another type of portable MP3 player? Does the Ipod adaptor only fit Ipods? Obviously I don't have an Ipod yet, but would like to consider other brands of MP3 players. I guess what I'm saying; I would think the software in the Z1 only allows the interface for Ipod.
  13. I see these for sale. I don't see why they would not work. I mean, how clear of a picture do you really need to see behind you? Just enough to see no little ones or toys. Unless you really need the details.

  14. [quote name="HeavenSoldier"]Hmmm, what did this alpine unit come out? I've also been looking at other units to compare with the z1, and so far I've found this [url=http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/2006/01/kenwood_hdv770_gps_fantastic_features_come_with_steep_price.html]http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives/20 ... price.html[/url] But the Z1 is a competitive unit.[/quote] All reviews seem to talk about the high price tag. $1875 USD. But it includes the TV Tuner. Player also supports content in the form of mp3, WMA and MPEG. I don't think that is high priced. Should be interestin
  15. I'm sure you can find cheaper, but here is what you'll need. [url=http://www.crutchfield.com/S-PECRhMyMJWV/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?search=gmos04&i=120GMOS04]http://www.crutchfield.com/S-PECRhMyMJW ... =120GMOS04[/url]
  16. This may be a little late, but here is some info & pics of GM Double DIN install from Delphi's new GM in dash Navigation system [url=http://www.delphioffer.com/tnr800/]http://www.delphioffer.com/tnr800/[/url] [url=http://www.delphioffer.com/tnr800/pdf/delphi_tnr800_install_guide.pdf]http://www.delphioffer.com/tnr800/pdf/d ... _guide.pdf[/url]

    Rear view camera

    [quote name="In2Deep"]I used a different camera. [url]http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=717[/url][/quote] Could you elaborate a little more on the camera? I only see a picture of it. What brand? cost? install required? Thanks
  18. Excuse me if this has been mentioned in thread although I did not see it. If you use a American Express card or most Mastercards to purchase, they usually double the Manufactorers warranty. If you read the credit card detail sheet, you will see the policy on it.
  19. Do they still make you call them once you receive their email? They tried to upsell when I bought a 50" plasma. Gave me such a hard time, I told the guy to cancel the order. They lost a huge sale over the bait & switch BS.
