I am looking for a in-dash touchscreen 7 inch dvd / nav that is XM ready to take the place of the stock radio and heated seat panel. all I have seen online is the flip out moniters i've heard stories of guys trying to put in after market tv's dvd's etc.. and the engine temp and trip popping up on the tv screen.

does anybody have a in-dash unit installed or found one that works with out any problems?
please let me know thanks...

 

danm.. 3 posts. they need to fix this site.

 

Moved to audio and video

 

I just had one put in and it works fine.

 

My pioneer 6.5 flipout works just fine with no issues at all.

 

I have an pioneer avic-d1 and it works great no problems at all.

 

pics???

 

no ****. I want to see these setups

 

look any in dash will work u just need the right harness I run the sales floor at a circuit city in california and I have three monitors in my car just go to any cc and special order the metra 702103 harness as far as indash units theres no one that makes a double din 7 inch dvd/nav unit except for pioneer just came out with the avic z1 thats the only one out there that is 7 inch but it's going to cost since it's new even at cost it's some where in the range of 1400 to 1300 hundred

 

here is mine sorry it took so long to get a picture I had to get a new digital camera. I'll take better pictures during the day

 

hey xtreme GM which pioneer is that and how much did it run you and can you still use your steering wheel controls???

 

Its the avic-d1. I bought it over a year ago and it was in my 04 Grand Am GT1. Not really sure how much I paid for it then. I dont have one of the steering wheel control adapters in because I dont really use them that often

 

This is what I got.

Alpine IVA-D310

IMO By far the best piece you will ever find. You can get them off ebay for about $1,030 Brand new in box. Be carefull of some people though, they try to sell you links to get them for $500, they are scams.

 

Just thought I would share mine.....



It's not a GPS but will have an Alpine Blackbird hooked up to it soon......
P.S. sorry for the crappy pic....

 

For those of you with them. Are you useing the stock amp or did you change that out also?

I read that some are able to get the steering wheel controlls to work and that is cool.

 

PAC makes a steering wheel control module that works... www.pac-audio.com

Mine is hooked up just like normal... through the stock wires into the stock amp....

 

I use the stock amp for the speakers an an aftermarket amp for my aftermarket sub in the stock box

 

 

hey xtremeGM did you have to mod anything behind the unit to make it fit, and 2nd what dash kit did you use?

 

I had to push that metal bar back a little but other than that no. I used the metra 95-3302

 

cool thanx man

 

can I use the same XM antenna that came with my SS/SC if I buy a aftermarket stereo

 

where do you get the vss wire for a 05 cobalt ls?

directechs says from steering wheel... can someone confirm this? and if so explain what i need to do what wire looks like

 

YEA, I have the avic z1 installed and the metal thing behind the stock radio needs to be pushed back and i used the metra 95 9303 and it works perfectly. It retails for like 2500 but i got mine off ebay brand new for like 1500. Awesome headunit.

 

^^^i was looking at the eclipse but now i think i want the avic z1. i read it responds to voice command have you tried it?
