Man, the 2008 touch screen/nav head unit that came in my Z06 sucks the ***** very much bad. I knew that mofawker had to go the moment I bought the car.

So, the replacement is the Pioneer NEX6000. The shop wanted $799.00 installed (tax included) for just the head unit. To make a long story short, for $800.00 plus tax, they installed the head unit, back up camera, all wiring harnesses, mounting bracket, and ran/hid the wires for gps antenna and the microphone for the hands free functions.

Not a bad deal in my book. The NEX7000 had a screen a little bit under 1 inch bigger and the NEX8000 had the bigger but also capacitive screen (think use finger motions like on a smart phone to zoom in and out). Didn't need all that. So far so good and I'm happy with it.

Now, how do I get this thing to control the valves on my NPP exhaust? Any ideas?

Thanks. The system worked well for me. Now, how do I get it to control my NPP exhaust if it's even possible. Has anyone done this or know how to do it?

That' s a super deal. If I could find a similar one I'd do it in a heart beat.

I think it was last years model (correct me if I'm wrong) so you should be able to find it online fairly cheap. The NEX8000 has a bigger screen and goes for about a grand, but I didn't need that or the capacitive screen function (think expanding the screen like you do with a smart phone). The NEX7000 was a couple hundred more than the NEX5000 that I bought and the differences are it has the 7.1" screen the flips down like the stock Blose head unit vs the 6" screen and face plate that detaches on the NEX5000. I don't care if I see the CD/DVD slot.



Yes, that's the one. Awesome piece of equipment. I added in the rear view camera which makes parking a lot easier and I can also use it while driving (but I don't). The GPS function is amazing and easily updated via usb or Wi-Fi. Plus, I had the installer set it up so that a DVD can be watched while the car is in motion. The hottie mchotterson I went to Orlando and Tampa with last week appreciated that (and no...there was no **** being watched). The mic for my hands free system works well and is hard to spot because it was installed by the rear view mirror which is attached to a black backing. Awesome, I tell ya. Awesome. If GM would put in systems like this that would be great but it makes too much sense so it'll never happen.

Thats a good deal. I had the same unit installed. I got mine on ebay for $675.00 and had best buy install it. B/B charged about $350 for the install kit and the OnStar relay, The XM box and antenna's and steering wheel control wires and amp relays. and nav antenna . I love the unit as well.

The back up camera is well worth the money.

You're not the only one.

Good deal! Can something like this be installed if you just have the entry level head unit without Nav?
