New System Help Please!
I have searched the Forum, read a hundred threads, and am in a maddening state of confusion. It will go in my 07 ZO6. I want a good replacement for the factory nav/radio. I am staying with factory speakers. I want Nav, XM, Bluetooth, and a back-up camera. Other recommended options or equipment is welcomed. I prefer a strong Pioneer system and need to find a good installer in the NASHVILLE, TN area. Please help me out!

If you must have someone else do the install Dave @ Madvette is in your area. Mail orders may be a bit suspect, but I haven't heard anything but praise for anyone who has him do work locally.

If you are going to get into the factory system, its really worth considering replacing the factory speakers. There is so much to gain by doing that. Sure you save money but you dont need to spend a fortune on the speakers either. A decent set of components for the front and you will be much more pleased even if you only run them off the built in amp of the after market head unit.
I went with the Pioneer Z110BT which has been software updated to the Z120BT. Its a great unit. I installed a set of Image dynamics 2 way component speakers up front and opted to add a pair of 5.25" ID coaxiles to the rear. I went with Arc Audio mini amps and an IDQ 10" Sub. The rear speakers are not really needed. The speakers and amps are what I consider to be VERY inexpensive compared to what I have spent in the past on car audio and the results were much more than I expected.
Here is a link to the build in my 09 Z06.

I am very pleased with the results and the costs were substantially less than you would expect. I got my amps, speakers and matting materials from Rick at Raamaudio who saved me a small fortune and gave me some of the best service and support I have ever encountered.
