Navyguy Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 Well I received mine yesterday and installed it today. It was a pretty straight forward install. I thought I would take a picture and add to the forum. For all of you who are wondering yes that is my factory HU in the dash. We had to keep it in order to keep my factory overhead entertainment system. Navyguy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

With the Z1 installed it still is more room for future goodies. The DVD goes in up to to the DVD player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks![/quote] We are happy and thanks again. You guys know my wife is jealous of this site. Being on here is like being out with the boys. She is not too mad since she knows I am an electronic/gadget freak. I fix medical equipment all the time and stereos (car or home) is my hobby. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There is no bypass, trust me I have been searching for awhile. We tried it and it did not work. When we found out that we only had to power the DVD and screen up then we were off to the races. I have an '05 F150 Lariat Supercrew. It all works now so I am pleased and so are my kids. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NYRngrs24 Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 you can figure it out. if it just needs power, cant u do a relay w/ the amp turn on from the stereo? or something like that. you gotta be able to do something Quote Link to post Share on other sites
