I intend to get ride of the standard radio on the H3 and have it replaced by a multimedia station PIONEER AVIC HD 1 BT + CAMERA ND BC1.
it does everything ( except fried eggs)
GPS
dvd/cd/mp3
bluetooth
video camera (reversing)
even... radio
it has an 30mb hard disk and its possible to record upto 300 cd's in a 10mb partition.
I will post photos of the installed product (they do it on the 10/23/06) but in the meantime I wonder if any of you guys have any experience with this system or have it already installed in your ride.

Did I mention I want to be your new best friend Jmm?
That is going to be awsome. Just don't do what I did, it's a little dangerous:

hi,
apparently they are not going to mount it on the bumper.
it's glued on the rear door window below the stop light. the camera angle is 120°x90° so it should provide a perfect rear view.

When people ask me this, I say "I'm JUST the computer guy"
It keeps me out of trouble because of the things I REALLY know.

I grew up without a father, and never met him, so you better watch it, Dad(s)
Or, you can feel sympathy for the fact I grew up in a house with my grandmother, sister and mother, fighting 24/7 for 20 years, until my mother moved out, and my sister went into the Navy. How I turned out OK is still beyond me!

Sorry about that for you..who would've known?
But I agree, that's way too much estrogen under one roof.

The original unit is kind of rounded on the top and bottom. Does the after market unit leave a gap on these two spots? How did you handle this issue?

they are adding a black plastic cover to take care of the problem.
you can see that on the WV dashboard.

Did you ever get this installed?
Got pics???
I'm really thinking about pulling the trigger and getting one for myself.
EDIT: Nevermind...I found you made a new thread for it! VERY nice...I might be sold.
Go for it! the more I use it the More I like it.
I am amazed with all the various possibilities I am discovering, and the look on the dashboard is mind blowing!!
I paid 3500€ installed for the system including two PIONEER headrest 9'' video screen.
except if you're a semi professional DON'T try to install it yourself.

Semi-pro!? Did I just get upgraded or something!?? I've had zero issues with those kind of installs personally and I'm a wiring idiot LOL!
have it properly installed then
and since you're in the US don't forget to ask for the ON STAR module.
another issue:
ask the installer NOT to connect the parking brake safety because otherwise you have to stop and put the PB on before phoning or choosing a new direction.

Good luck finding an installer that will leave that out. Best bet is to get the bypass module for it and do it yourself. I believe there are only 2, possibly 3 wires to move after the "professional" installer has done it the correct way. Some HU's won't display the video if it's not connected properly. The bypass takes care of that :) I think PAC has them ....

I never noticed but you have an HD-1 and in the states here its called the AVIC-Z1.
I went and talked to my A/V dealer today and they told me that disabling all those moving vehicle safety features is way easier on this model than any other. On the bottom of the unit, there is a silver sticker. Under that silver sticker is a switch. Flicking that switch disables all the safety junk!
I am getting really close to ordering one..I think I am going to install it myself!
