Double D HU installed - pic inside
Well I finally got my Pioneer Z110BT Double Din HU installed. I got the DD and HU from Dennis aka C5BearsFan. I also had the camera mounted in the front under the bumper to keep from hitting my front end on curbs. My installer did a great job. The NAV and IPOD are voice activated. The display is clear in the daylight with my traga top off in direct sunlight with was a problem with the Pioneer 600 XM single din HU I replaced. It even tells you when a favorite song is playing on another station.

If you take a picture in natural light without the flash, it'll look even better.
See what I mean?
The flash really brings out the gray in the HVAC. It doesn't look anything at all that light shade in natural lighting.
Congrats. Great looking bezel and installation!

My installler put a switch under the dash next to the shifter so I don't have to use the 3 steps in the touch screen to activate the camera. It is located on the drivers side up next to the radiator support to protect it. I will take a pic later today for you.

I've got the same unit installed and didn't realize you could see what song was playing on the other stations, because I rarely listen to the radio, but that's COOL. I also didn't know that camera activation was possible externally via a switch. Neat trick.

,I forgot to answer your question earlier. Been busy playing with the new NAV system and pairing my phone with it. For some reason it did not want to pair but I finally got it. I also had to wash my car for a Corvette Car Show Saturday in West Palm Beach. It's an Audiovox ACA 200W. I don't think you need a good one in that location as you are only looking at curbs. Just make sure it is weatherproof. Probably most or all are.

I am guessing he just taped into the HU's rear camera wire and a 12V wire to a switch instead of to the rear backup lights.
