AVIC Z2 in C6
Gearing up to install a Z2 with bluetooth and ipod adapter in my 07 2lt. No blose or onstar.
Based on past posts I have gathered a lot of good info. Many thanks to nomad, shangreers, flarside, scf, chemten, naschultz and komoman.
Just want to confirm a few thinks before I get started.
Do I just need the metra dash kit (95-3304), periperhal GMCO and an antenna adaptor?
I will paint kit to match a/c controls.
VSS wire should be green/white wire from BCM behind front passenger wheel? Reverse wire light green in the same spot?
Illumination will tie into hazards or grey wire on traction control?
Z2 power anttena wire to blue wire in GMCO harness.
For the parking brake, should a guy just ground this now if I intend to bypass?
GPS antenna can be mounted on top of left center a/c vent.
To use the factory amp with the GMCO harness, do I have to cut any RCA's off or just plug from Z2 to RCA's?
Should I include ground loop isolators to avoid pop when system powers down? If so, where is best?
Or should I just bypass the factory amp and run Z2 rear outputs to subs (in sub mode) and run tweeters and rears in parrell?
I welcome any guidance or advice you can provide.

Don't bypass the factory amp, you just open yourself to a world of problems unless you're replacing everything else.

I didn't connect the vss for my D3 install and the GPS is as accurate as my Garmin c550, if not more - it shows me rounding curves in the road.
Unless you intend to install a backup camera, the reverse wire is not needed either.
Good luck!

Metro gmos-04 module
Guys,
Thanks for the help so far.
Having trouble finding a periperhal gmco module.
Has anyone used the Metra GMOS-04? If so did you hook up the SPDT relay as called for the instructions specific for the corvette to the blue/white wire between the 16 way and 24 way connectors?
If so, where did you get the relay?
If not, did it still work?
