I have the Z110, which is the same as the Z120 but I have not done the software update. You should not need any kit. Here are pictures:

looks like a clean fit!

It is very clean, all I need to do right now is order that update from Pioneer so I can be running the Z120 software.

And if you want to go all out one day, you can do this.

i put in a pioneer avh4200dvd and was told i would need a dash kit....

I DID NOT! looks great with very minimal gap. if you WANT to buy one let me know i have one at a cheap price.

You do not need one as from what I have seen and read.

My installer said there are problems when trying to display Video while driving? do you know of this?

He said that moving a pin in the harness doesn't always work.

Pioneers have a tricky bypass when it comes to the video. Some of the models by moving the pins to a blank one and grounding that wire will allow you to see video when in motion. Others need a PAC TR-77 bypass module.

Some actually have a software bypass as well.

Ya I did a jensen that had that.

I love how Pandora works on the screen.

i had the z120bt installed and they used a dash kit -- i dont see how i could attach the z120 to the dash without the kit. any info would be appreciated as i would like to redo it without the kit so it looks cleaner. thanks.
