Pioneer AVIC-X920BT

I think you should install it yourself, and save that $250 for something else.

I'm an avid "do-it-your-selfer" and prefer to do things myself than pay someone to do it for me...and forums like these are exactly how you can become one too. There are plenty of posts on here to help you. If all you are doing is changing out the headunit only; it should take no more than say 30 minutes to get this done...an hour if you want to go slow.

give yourself a couple of hours. no need to take it fast, just go at your pace and make
sure you dont scratch up the trim or miss any steps in the wiring. there are plenty of DIY
with pictures in this forum!

if you're going to do the rear view cam also consider doing the rear fog lamp at the
same time if you're going to run your own wires.

My local stereo shop thats been around for ages did mine for $150 with the rear view camera... I was suprised at that price so I gladly let them do it... Just make sure you have feedback on the shop you are using...

I would not trust best buy , unless I went in there and personally saw the installer that was going to be working on my car, doing work and see that he knew exactly what he was doing. But i still prob wouldnt let best buy touch it....

Check to see if they have an android cable from pioneer not sure if they do though, Ipod one is 50 like others said , dont get the knock off.

I actually just order this HU from Amazon.

Just to clarify, you only need the Metra dash kit if you have a Bose/Touring right?

I have a NISMO (same as base stereo) so I shouldn't need it correct?

Correct. On my base I'm running stock trim bezel for my 3100DVD. . You might need to make a gasket trim for it if your HU does not come with one.

Sosche makes the dd trim to fill the gap ( sold at amazon. It's like $10.)

Good to know x2, thanks for the bezel info. I'll go give someone rep so I can give you another lol.

I think this is what you are referring to:
Scosche Double DIN Trim

Yep, there's also one that you can trim the center divider off on 2 single space dd trim. Or, you can do what I did on the Z and get some EZ felt from arts stores, cut it to size and make it fit. The car's bezel has reinforcement fins on the back side so you need to do some cutting to make it fit perfectly. EZ felt is very easy to cut and trim. I use this stuff all the time on my car installs.

So would this model avic x920bt... do i need a dash kit? like i have 370z base...

JayYoon

So far this is what i am going to buy...

Pioneer CD-IU50V USB Interface Cable for iPod/iPhone
Scosche NAA2B 2007 Nissan Antenna Adapter
Scosche NN04B 2007-Up Nissan Car Stereo Connector
Pioneer AVIC-X920BT
Pioneer ND-BC4 Universal Rear View Camera

Is there anything else that i need?

Another thing... I am at newegg and is "Pioneer CD-IU50V" same as "PAC Audio iC-PIOUSB50V"?
On Amazon "Pioneer CD-IU50V" pops out and on newegg "PAC Audio iC-PIOUSB50V" pops out...
Which is the right fit?

kenchan

If you're wanting the steering control buttons to work, I used the PAC-PS (pioneer/sony) one. Works great.

Check in my albums page under G35C and there is a pict of a blue box I am holding with wires zip tied to it. That's the PAC PS. I took that pict like 2 days ago while doing the 4100 in my G.

kenchan

Jay- btw, you will want to have other basic tools and supplies handy like soldering iron, crimps, taps, wire stripper, e-tape, zip ties, long nose pliers, nippers, screw drivers, etc to make your install go smoother. Do you have such tools handy?

JayYoon

Is it this one?
Amazon.com: PAC SWI-PS Sony and Pioneer Steering Wheel Radio Control Interface: Automotive

Does this work well on 370z?
btw kenchan... i am so jealous of your garage!!!

kenchan

Yah, they show pict of the old version (PAC-PS) but it works just as good as the new.

I also have used a Perpheral brand module and they work great too.

JayYoon

Another quick question, do you think that i will need Scosche Double DIN Trim?

G Fo12ce

I highly reccomend these as well for interior work. You don't want to gouge or poke at soft interior peices with metal tool when removing panels:

Harbor Freight Trim Tools
