I'm a little nervous I dropped my Z off at a local car audio place to have my new Pioneer N3 pop out screen nav and dvd player with a custom bezel installed. They have a good rep but still you never know. So I sit and wait for the call. I will post pics when I get a chance.

know how you feel, my car has been in the shop for 4 weeks, I wait every day for the call with an update and end up calling them, only to hear a few more days, I am supposed to get mine back tomorrow (I will believe it when I am driving it home). I feel your anxiety, hopfully youe will be super pleased as the shop sounded like they have a good rep

Well I just found out I can't get my car till tomorrow afternoon. They are having little difficulty with a speed sensor wire. They tell me to get to it they have to take tire off and go through the fender well. I don't know anything about it so I have to wait.

They'll be hooking the VSS wire up at the PCM. On the 2000 and up, the VSS wire is c2 pin 50 and it is a green/white wire.

The installer relocated the DVD player from the rear storage compartment to the A/C controller slot and moved the A/C controls to the ash tray slot. Did the CF wrap. It came to about $1200.00
