Thank youThats exactly what I was going to ask.

Sub'd for review. :tiphat:

Nice looking install. What app are you using there for your gps?

Oh yeah, how's the PAC working for your steering controls?

I use google maps. The PAC is working just fine ;)

Wondering how this thing will fit in the base radio enclosure. I'm looking for something that fits pretty flush. If I have to buy the whole center stack face, then I guess that would be ok as long as it looks like it belongs in the car.

Also - would the regular appradio3 work ok with the base model as far as not having 4v outs? And I guess it's time to google to see if the AR3 does bluetooth streaming. That is a must have for me for sheer convenience.

DashCommand looks solid. I really want to have that capability. Did you have to do anything wiring wise to get to OBDII? Or do you have to drive around with a PLX plugged into the port all the time?

AR3 will stream BT. I have the AR2 and it works great and sounds great.

I use an ELM327 and a dashcommand-like app. Works well, but the reader has to stay plugged in.

Damn. I was hoping to get around that. I have an older ELM327 that will work with a jailbroken iOS device, but I got it before I got my Z. It's huge, and I hit it with my shin when I go for the brake. I can't drive with that bad boy in there. Thanks for the reply! I'm going to have to search for something much smaller.

You can get a cable that goes from the car port to the reader that will allow you to put it out of the way.

I put the same in my 2013. X5500BHS with Axxess ASWC-1, SiriusXM, Backup Cam, & AVIC-U250 NAV Module. Its an awesome setup :tup:

What dash mount kit did you use? It looks like it could use a trim kit to make it look a wee bit cleaner.

That is the OEM base radio surround. I got the Scosche dash kit and while it gets rid of the gap, the color is way off. Its black when the rest of the car dash is greyish... I decided to live with the gap as i never payed it much attention. The color being off bugged me every time i looked at it..

Here is a picture of the radio with the Scosche kit.

looks great! makes me want to get one

i mentioned this a few times, but if anyone's interested, you can make your own gasket to close up that gap using black hard felt. most art stores carry it, or you can buy them online. the one i use, product name is EZ Felt.

you can use a sharp knife and a ruler to cut the hard felt to size. ive been using this product for over 10-15yrs. :D i have no gap on my HU install with factory trim.

also a good idea to completely remove the thin gasket on the factory trim around the HU opening while you're doing the work. you can remove the adhesive using motor spray.
