one thing i STRONGLY recommend is when you pull-up the shifter ring (first step), place a thick towel under it so you dont scratch the center console when you place it down.

not that i scratched mine, but i see a lot of folks with scratched center consoles.

like this:

ill just pull off my shift knob and set the whole assembly aside

yah, might want to read about the shift knob removal thread... you might get lucky, but mine was a royal pita to remove. broke 2 strap wrenches.

LostSol

LOL i have an aftermarket knob already, and I did destroy my stock knob in the process, but my new knob is easy off.

anyway, the stereo install is easy to do with the shifter ring still attached too.

Looking good OP

I picked up the AVH-X3500BHS a few weeks back.
Does anyone know if radio preset seeking steering wheel control (w/PAC SWI-RC) works with these 2013 line of Pioneer HUs? I know there is a limitation listed on the PAC website, just wondering if it still applies. The way I have it setup now I can only manually go through the band in .2 increments.

"Pioneer AVIC-Fxxx radios do not interpret radio preset seeking commands. This is a limitation of the radio not the SWI-RC. There is no correction for this unless it comes from Pioneer. "

looks good, jenz. i saw a couple other people placing their mic there. originally i was going to place mine there too, but i decided to place it near the rear view mirror as i could tuck the clip into the ceiling liner more cleanly.



im using a 4yr old peripheral (pac) on my 4500BT and for FM radio, i do need to select the presents on the display to scroll. other then that, everything works. i dont really listen to the radio so this is no issue for me.

i will be installing a 2500BT in the next week or so using a ASWC in my dd. will post back how that works. its on my honda, but it has the same steering wheel controls as my base Z.

I cannot get this thing to work for the life of me...I got the 4500 and nothing works

kenchan

wont even turn on? can you push the reset button?

Cbtech

no it turns on and blinks. followed the instructions to press the volume button up and it reacts but then nothing else. no light blink nothing

For the ASWC and the 2500BT, if you have to do the manual programming (page 19 of the AXXESS instructions show the button assignments), you can make the choice of "Seek Up/Next & Seek Down/Prev" or "Preset Up & Preset Down".

I choose the "Preset Up & Preset Down". So in Radio mode, it will switch between your preset stations. In USB mode with a Flash Drive, it will switch between Folders. When I do listen to the radio, I will switch back and forth between 3 different preset stations so this works best for me. Works well in USB mode also -- If I want to go to the next song, I push the "Track" button on the HU -- If I want to go to the next album, I push the steering wheel control.

if pioneer does a firm ware update on these units, i hope they also add some feature to turn the clock off. my 3100, 4100 both worked fine with pac (all functions including FM scroll by preset) and allowed the clock turn off.
