I installed a Pioneer AVIZ-Z with that face plate and painted it to match the flat black of the dash

I've got an '03 with the MOST bus.....I've learned it's not "plug and play", but do you know if you can bypass everything and still use the bose speakers, already in place?

I think they use flash memory now to store the maps.

Any other advice to get best sound from the 9140/Bose combo in our car (e.g., use the SRS?, speaker balance numbers?).

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I found this car on Ebay (a 1999 that sold for $24.5K recently, not to me). I thought the stereo, which is GPS, BlueTooth, etc, WITHOUT the pop out screen, was pretty cool. Does anyone know where the custom dash plastic came from (which I guess moves the climate control downwards and the radio on top)? Think this was custom made, or can you buy this dash piece somewhere (not talking about the radio, talking about the center dash piece in black plastic)?
I did my Kenwood DNX 5140 with the Eurospeed kit and its perfect. comes with wiring harnesses to adapt to the power and amp pre outs if your car is equpped.
Real easy to DIY and save big $$. There are many posts on install at 6 speed, renntech and here. Good luck.

I've got an '03 with the MOST bus.....I've learned it's not "plug and play", but do you know if you can bypass everything and still use the bose speakers, already in place? I have the CDR-23 with Bose Hi-Fi and no CD changer.
Thanks, Dana
I'm waiting for the new Pioneer AVIC-Z110BT. Sounds incredible, but have to wait for comments once it's released.
I was looking at the new Kenwood 9140, but it seems to have huge bugs and missing features.
It amazes me why it seems to be so hard to put together the features one would obviously want.

I looked this stereo up. Pretty cool, you can plug an external monitor into the face - so that you can play DVD's to your back seat occupants while driving. My kid would love that. Then I saw the price! Ouch, $1600.
Figure $1100 or so from the discounters.
It requires no add-ons, though. I was looking at an Alpine where they actually wanted to sell you a bluetooth module and an ipod module and a usb module for hundreds extra. Screw that--should be all in one box!
The one thing I did notice with this one, though, is that the GPS maps are loaded on an internal flash drive (no update discs). So wondering how you would go about updating the maps over time?
I know that I often find myself driving on roads that don't exist on my wife's Lexus nav. (looks like you are 4x4 off-roading on the screen).
I think they use flash memory now to store the maps. Given that the few gig needed for all U.S. maps and a few million POIs can fit on $10 of flash ram, i'm not sure that an actual spinning hard disk makes sense anymore.
One thing for sure: a spinning optical disk makes no sense at all in 2009, but the mfrs can't bring themselves to eliminate the CD/DVD player for some reason.
Love to have a head unit with no moving parts.
My wife's Audi still has a c. 2002 Phatbox, with a
massive
30gig hard drive. Seriously--it's the size of a CD-changer. All I want it to be able to slip in a half-dollar sized 32GB SDHC card and not worry about it.
To each his own. I can't see one of those features that I would want. Let me plug in my iphone, have a handsfree phone, and touch screen, and I will be happy.
See I want it totally brand agnostic. I don't buy into the apple thing so my preference would be a standard USB port. I honestly don't even care that much about nav but the pcm 1 is so bad and takes up so much room that I might as well put something there that is useful. All it really does now is display radio stations and cd changer data anyway.
I need to find something in the under 1k price point though.
Maybe tomorrow I'll post some more info. It was mid 90s today with the car parked in the sun. Had to be at least twice that under the windshield for twenty minutes putting in the GPS antenna.
I have an awesome stock 220 single disc and the other day my buddy at work brought in some new music and asked me to listen to it.... about 2 blocks down the road I realized I could not hear sh*t and turned it off....I hope to not use that thing again - ever -
I just hit the gas and listened to that flat six purr so beautifully... I thought.... no way I am going to miss a minute of this. I waited WAY too long to drive this car and someday I might not have one, I need as much imput as I can get so the memories last me until I get another one (or if I never do....)
No stereo upgrades for me
I love music but I also really enjoy the sound of my car's exhaust. So the solution is to play the music at a reasonably low level so you can listen to both!!!
Have the '02 and putting in the 9140 to replace my broken PCM1 Nav.
Did you guys hook up the line level or speaker levels outs to the Bose amp? Installer says the speaker outs will get me most volume, but worried about distortion.
Any other advice to get best sound from the 9140/Bose combo in our car (e.g., use the SRS?, speaker balance numbers?).
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
