i want to get a z1. will this thing fit in my suburban and where do i get the trim kit, onstar adapter, and such?

Does your suburban have factory navigation?

no, but it has a 6disc changer unit nad it measures to be a double din confing.

I have had the Z-1 in my 07 avalanache for a few weeks now. I had the same factory unit you have, our vehicles are identical. I did a search for my post, here's the link... I posted in there all the part numbers and links you need. Good luck...

I have a Chevy Silverado pickup which I believe has the same frame and dash as your vehicle. Crutchfield told me no way would it fit, but it has been installed for a few weeks now. The key is that the Chevy doesn't have a very deep opening behind the double din radio opening. A little modification and the Head unit fits like a charm.

Have AVIC-Z1 in my 2007 Avalanche also. Had a 6 CD Changer also like you described. Z1 Fits perfectly. Works great too. You shouldn't have much difficulty. A plastic tab that was inside the dash had to be trimmed because the accessories (Bluetooth, Steering wheel control box) Made it that much more hard to fit. But once the plastic piece was trimmed, it sat beautifully. Good Luck

great. that is what i wanted to hear and see. thanks.

Yeah, you shouldn't have any problem replacing that system. On the other hand, if you had the factory nav.........no fun.

There are no similarities between the 07 gm model lines and the 99 through 06 model line. Everything has been changed, basically just tossed out the old interior and came to plate with a whole new get up.

The dash in the 07's has loads of space as the heater/ac controls only take up about inches of depth under the radio, as does the traction control parking assist button controls. Plenty of room for all the accesories for the Z-1 and then some.

Jimmy,

what is the Z1 installation difference between OEM NAV and NON NAV from the factory?

forgot to post pics....

had the install done the first week of aug. all is good. here is the result. i did a 10.5 flipdown monitor.

looks great...

did the new bypass for the 07/06.

!todo esta bien!

The dash plate is totally different, plus the factory nav already has a 9" screen, Nav-TV is currently working on a video input for that, and the audio controls are relocated to the area by the a/c controls. :x

are you angry.... i picked the dash kit. i could have flush mount but didnt want to wait to get a kit that was backordered twelve weeks. I have never liked the gm nav products so the z1 was a great find. i had a n1 in my 02 tahoe and loved it.

all of my steering wheel controls work flawlessly. I have a xm-navtraffic unit enroute. they were backordered....

I'm sorry, I need to correct myself. I was thinking of the Escalade I had in my shop last month. COMPLETELY different dash! The audio system controls are scattered all over the dash, that's not the case with the Yukon, Suburban or Tahoe.

See?

typical GM.... trying to make the escalade with its own idenity. but it still knows it is a tahoe, suburban... :)
