Default Pioneer Avic D-3 Installed (lots of pics)

I just finished my install this past weekend. It took some time, but I think it paid off. I put in a Pioneer Avic D-3, bluetooth, Ipod, and a backup camera. It's late, so I'll just post the pics. I'm too tired for a full write up. If you have any questions about something I did, ask away.

Excellent work -- I think you may have raised the bar on the console modding.

Where'd you get the backup camera? Do you happen to have the model number? I'd like to add one to my D1. Thanks!

I see someone else likes the Blade movie series, or are you just a Triple H fan?

Looks like you did the job right. I haven't hooked up my backup camera to my N3 yet. I was thinking of drilling a hole in license plate and mounting behind.

Camera: Boyo VTL420
I bought it on fleabay, but I have seen it on other websites too. If you can't find a decent deal on fleaby, just do a search for Boyo VTL420. They make some with the camera and the license plate together, but I wanted to put mine on the Corvette plate.

Right now, I'm just running the stock fronts and Polks in the back off of the head unit. Sounds alright for now, especially since I already had a sub. I'm adding some components for Christmas. Haven't decided which ones yet, any suggestions would be nice.

Oh yeah, the sub. 600 watt 12" Kicker Solarbaric and 500 watt Rockford Fosgate. I built the box. Here you go.

As far as components, check out the Focal Polyglass. A buddy of mine has some coax's in his truck and they sound phenomenal on an amp and the same HU you have. I went a step higher and got the same polyglass Focals but in a Component. The cross over is rather small so it should be easy to mount behind the door.

Top notch setup though
