After a long wait i finally got my new head unit which is pioneers avic-z1 and so far I'm thoroughly happy with it. The audio is 100 times better IMO and that's with the stock front & rear speakers. The navigation is accurate and on point from what i can tell. The Voice control commands take a little getting used to. Well here are some pics of it (sorry for the poor quality of pics).

 

Nice move, Chuck! AVIC = perfection.

Can't wait to hear it at the next big run!

 

damn! I bet that was cheap..

 

lol My thoughts exactly! Looks great Chuck, would love to hear it. I guess will have to wait for the reviews!

 

Looks like a perfect fit! Long term plans include a double dine touch screen like yours, only Alpine!

nice! I want one.

 

looks like around $1500 from ebay. Nice choice on head units.

 

All said and done I parted with just under 2600 bucks. I bought mine at a local shop which I do all of my car audio/video business with.

 

damn...$900+ for installation charges? wow...

 

Actually the unit retails for $2250 I paid $2100 plus tax and installation was a flat $300. In my opinion it was worth it, sure i could have saved some money if I'd have got it through ebay but while i was researching the unit on an avic forum someone complained of pioneer not honoring a warranty for a product that was purchase on ebay so i decided i pay a bit more for my peace of mind.
