I just installed a Z130BT in my truck today. The wiring was a bit tedious and took me a bit to figure out. The VSS signal is in the factory radio plug at Pin 14 so that took a bit of research to find. I also bypassed it, moved mute wire and grounded it to the parking brake line and connected reverse line.

 

I have the blue tooth mic mounted on the A-pillar trim piece with the wiring ran inside and through the dash. The GPS antenna is mounted under the passenger A-pillar up by the windshield. If you reach your hand up in there you can feel a little shelf for it to sit on. I could have pulled the cover but I just squeezed my hand and the antenna up in there.

 

I did a test run when I went to get fuel and dinner and I did not experience any lag issues with the display and where I actually was. I live in a not so major area in WA and it had little roads I had never noticed before on the maps. I did not look to see what "rev" I have but it seems fairly decent.

 

My kids were pretty excited when I tested the bypass and it worked. They were amazed we now have movies in the truck.

 

I thought I would post my so far experience with this unit.

 

I will get a picture of the finished product when I get my new splash screen loaded :)
