Does anyone have one of these installed? Do you like it?

I run the 8200 Double din in mine. It's a good unit man. The NEX series from Pioneer are really feature heavy HUs with a lot of growth potential with substantial factory options already loaded. Not a bad buy at all.

In my daily driver '02 Z06, I just installed the AVH-3400NEX.

Amazon Amazon

I chose it over the 3500 due to lower cost and no noticeable difference in the features. In fact, the 3400 looked like it actually supports some things the 3500 doesn't.
I installed it as low as possible to avoid blocking the center vent, but it still blocks most of it. I really like that you can run it with the screen closed and still operate most of the features. I use CarPlay and so far it works great. I removed all the bose crap years ago and I am running Alpine speaker off the head unit amp (Components in front and coax in back) with two 10" subs and a 500 watt amp in the trunk. It replaced an old high-end Alpine unit. I'm still working on tweaking the equalizer to compensate for the horrible corvette acoustics, but so far it sounds great. I will be installing a backup camera this weekend.

Thanks for the reply! I really appreciate the honest feedback. What mounting kit and wiring harness did you use?

Here is the dash kit I used. I turned it upside down with the pocket on the top. I attached the brackets closer to the face using superglue instead of the screw supplied. This allowed the bezel to fit better.

Here is the wiring harness.

Very Happy with new Pioneer AVH-3500NEX. I love the Apple play and having a back up camera. The MAPTECH mount is really good and solid as well. The sound isn't as good anymore. I guess I'm going to have to get a 5 channel amp and components sooner than I thought.
