Just verifed that PAC SWI-PS will work on Crutchfield's site by changing vehicle to 01 Pathfinder w/BOSE http://www.crutchfield.com/S-aCjR5yMM9u ... i=127SWIPS Check out the feedback section of the product. Someone already installed one on an 01 Pathfinder I have the SWI-PS and it works great! Good luck!

Thanks for the break light idea (and pic). I had easy access to the same location from the inside the trunk. I get very strong status. I also get signal inside my garage! How is it possible to get better signal buried under the rear deck than on the roof of the car?? Thanks again!

Looks great! I already moved my XM ant inside the car. I put it on top of the rear deck for now. I like what you did and may try it. You should have the lead for the SAT ant pointing towards the rear of the car. I am not sure if it makes a difference, but I remember the install instructions being very specific on this. It may explain why your positioning is off. You should also make sure the speed wire is connected, as it will improve positioning accuracy. There is also an adjustment to help positioning under “Settings/System Options/Installation Angle Setupâ€. Looking at your ph

Thanks for the update. I also stumbled across this trying to get my son's phone to transfer the address book. http://www.howardforums.com/archive/topic/961298-1.html

I just pulled the same unit out of my Regal and put in my son's Accord. I could not get my Sprint phone to transfer the address book. Bluetooth functionality is going to vary based on carrier, phone, and BT version. For example, Verizon blocks the ability to transfer the address book via BT on all their phones. You should dig around at http://www.caraudio.com/forum/ to see if you can find further answers. Good luck

Where did you put your XM ant? I put my GPS ant under the dash. My XM ant is on the roof. I would like to move the roof ant inside the car.

Wow. You are very passionate about Sirius. I had Sirius for a year and liked it. I had it connected to three different head units (all direct connect to Pioneer equipment). I thought to poor sound quality was the Pioneer AUX adapter. I ruled that out with my son's IPOD as it sounded great. I think Sirius has a great marketing machine (as does Microsoft). If the N2 would of had a better interface with Pioneer Sirius tuner, I would have opted for that as my wife's car has Sirius (from the factory) and I could get my subscription for half price. The improved sound quality was a

A couple months ago, I replaced by Sirius Sporter Replay (connected with Pioneer AUX adapter) with the Pioneer XM/NavTraffic receiver (GEX-P10XMT). My primary motivation was to get all the channel/artist/song displayed on my N2. I was blown away by the improved sound quality of XM. XM almost sounds as good as my CDs. Sirius sounded more like my radio stations. The best example is when I listen to the comedy station. When I had Sirius, I was constantly changing loudness / low frequency settings because voice (mid-range) was coming through my subwoofer. With XM, the voice come th

Thanks for the idea to hack up a factory radio to create a fake face plate. I found a radio at a local salvage yard (paid $5.00). First I shaved off the face plate and super glued all the buttons back on. Then I cut a right angle bracket with a 1 inch lip into the top of the AVIC. The metal plate fits perfectly in the crack between the AVIC face and the body. Finished it off with electrical tape around the edge. In a dark parking lot, theives will not look twice!

This looks great as the startup image. Colors are a little off as a background.

[quote name="PaisanNYC"]oops sorry, Just reread that you used the aux input to connect the Sirius PnP unit to your avic.[/quote] Yeah, I am thinking about getting XM for the great interface the AVIC provides. I looked at the Pioneer Sirius, but the AVIC has limited controls and display. How does XM sound compared to Sirius?

This site was a great resource for my install. I read the manual before I purchased and had alot of questions that the Pioneer site did not answer in their knowledge base. I can't wait to get some more quality time with the D2 and explore this site! [b]Dash Installation in 97-04 Buick Regal[/b] Get ready to drill and cut! I had to drill out the rivots on the medal brace behind the factory radio and bend it up out of the way. Then I had to cut out the plastic section of the brace to allow the depth of the unit. I went to Best Buy and got the standard mounting kit. It was a bag
