I just saw the pics. Looks really, really nice. Looks like the AVIC-X920BT fit in perfectly no?

Also, I plan on getting a back up cam. Anyone have suggestions for a camera?

You will need the dash kit that metra makes so there will be no gap other than that fits nicely.

Yes I did a pioneer install about 6 weeks ago in the z without the dash kit you have a large gap around the head unit. Stop trying to start crap.

Big...

What would be the pros and cons of installing the PIONEER AVIC kit on the spare compartment above the audio slot?

I've a Pioneer AVIC installed on my Z and I must admit, I find it ergonomically disappointing to having to look down and manage the console while on the go.

Any tips on how my setup can/could be improved?

Thanks for any/all feedback.

Your only down side would be having to cover up the stock location and fabricating a new spot in the cubby above to snugly fit the head unit. Not to mention if you do not keep the door there is a bigger STEAL ME factory when it is in even better clean sight.

Also you could have to make sure you have enough space behind to fit the back end of the unit.

Thanks for the expert advice, Big... I guess it stays where it's at (for now).

Did you lose your steering wheel controls when you upgraded? If so try this:

Steering wheel control with Pioneer?

Yes. The Bluetooth/phone buttons to the left no longer worked.

Exactly………..the gap is very very small and it’s not even an issue!! Nobody really needs the dash kit unless the installer doesn’t know how to install………….just sayin

That is all you have is "just sayin" it is like you have nothing to say.
And this is the pioneer units with the dash kit. Depending on the model the gap might be different but with this unit, the gap was huge.

The fact is you have worked on what one, two five z's? While I have done over 12 I know what needs a dash kit and what does not. Most kenwoods are fine they have a very small gap. Compared to the pioneers which are a tad small units themselves some will need dash kits. So shut up and stop trying to start crap on every thread.
