hey fatnat,

it will not blow my headunit for all it is doing is sending a high level signal to the bose amp... thus the bose amp will not allow the volume go any higher than 22 or 23 lets say and as u turn it up, only the sub gets loud and clean, the bose amp is still the main audio source for the factory speakers, until next week once I receive my component setup, amp and mids.. Then the bose amp will be completely bypassed and will have far more superior sound through the car, then ill build onto that box, make a nice fiberglass cover and wrap that in vinyl...along with the rest of the box... But do appreciate everyones opinions and comments..

If anybody wants to mount an amp that can get pretty hot and mount that behind their seat or on the shelf and screw into the plastic be my guest... With my back windows blacked out and the hatch closed all you really see is the wire... But definately took all considerations..

I like the kenwood interface, I looked into the av interface to mirror my reverse cam and it seemed like the option wasnt there or was blacked out...
Have not yet put the nav traffic in to give a review on that... The only pain in the *** with the touchscreen and driving the z none the less a stick shift can be a hassle with selecting and changing songs on the ipod. Thats why I need to get my SWI working properly, it just works intermitantly..

Any suggestions.?

So far so good. I've had it for awhile and everything is good right now.

Worked on it this past Friday night. Put in the Bluetooth, ran the antennas, ipod cable, axxess steering wheel control and wired up the head unit. Powered it on and everything looked fantastic. I was super stoked. The GUI was f'in sick! The steering wheel controls I was not able to get programmed and Sirius wasn't working cuz I didn't have the adapter plug. Didn't realize that til I saw the plug wasn't gonna fit. Looked online and saw best buy had it at a store 20 miles away but it was already 10:30 at night so they were closed. Rode around and called a buddy to test the bluetooth. It works pretty good on both ends. Called it a night at almost 1 just fascinated with all the features it has. Next morning I woke up early and started wiring the backup cam. Took a good look at everything and decided against doing that part myself. Looked online and found a local shop that opened at 10. They took me right in and I showed the installer exactly how I wanted it hooked up and for them to basically finish up the install but not button it up since I need to put on the sirius adapter plug. I wanted them to check the cam first and make sure it was working. Its from the same seller that AK used on ebay. They hooked it up and I had them point it up into the light. No whiteout could be seen so I said go ahead and install it. I did notice that it didn't have the colored lines on it like AK's. Instead it has lines with numbers on each side indicating how many feet away you are. After it was installed, it looked fine. The white balance outside isn't the best but its not that bad. I can tolerate it. I kinda wish it adjusted itself. At night its grainy but that doesn't really bother me that much either. The axxess control adapter had to get the firmware updated in order for the controls to work. Also they tapped into 2 wires on the factory harness that were for the controls on the car. It was a bugger to get working but I'm glad they figured it all out. Also, one other thing I noticed this morning on my way to work. I happen to turn on my navigation and the road i was driving on when i looked down turned red on the navi. I was like WAAAAHHH???? I'm guessing having sirius hooked up that it integrates with the garmin navi and shows traffic cuz when I was on that road that was red i was in heavy traffic. So I'm very impressed so far. It compliments the Z immensely.

I'll take some pics later and post them on here.

Hey Xiven,

How's the response for the Axxess steering wheel control...I had the PAC garbage before, which was unbearably slow. I know it's worse than most people had cause I really had to wait around 10 seconds to move!!! WHAT???? A little lag would've been okay, but that was terrible. Anyway, I just want to know if the Axxess lags.

I don't know if you ever got a response to this, but I just put the Axxess in after fighting with the PAC unit. The Axxess unit is instantaneous in its response. On the PAC, I might hit the volume button more than once, thinking that it didn't take. Then all of a sudden the volume would shoot up. When I hit the Axxess button, it changes the volume immediately. At least as good as the stock if not better. It's a whole lot easier to setup and hook up also IMO.

Does the Laser jammer still work efficently with it being behind your bumper and all?

Xiven and Tree,
I just swapped out my PAC for the Axxess hoping to get radio station up or down to hit the next preset station. Instead it just moves to the next available station. My HU is the Kenwood DNX6140. Does either one of your go to the next preset station? If so, did you do anything special.

Thanks.

I was talking about running the speakers Directly off the head unit that WILL blow the head units amp.

If the customers had more time or more of a budget I would of had no problem doing a fiberglass setup for a amp in the back behind the seat. But with a budget and limited places that was a good spot for most of them as they agreed. Just thought I would point that out.

NYJ,
just to make sure I understand you correctly... when you say it works perfectly, does that mean when you use the channel up switch on your steering wheel that it goes to your next "preset" station or it goes up to the next available station and is your HU a Kenwood DNX 6140?

Thanks.
