Installed Pioneer AVH-P4300DVD with other goodies and pics.

Dsevast · 10-24-2011, 08:31 PM

Just updated the head unit in my Z and I absolutely love it. I went with the Pioneer AVH-P4300DVD, because IMO you get a lot for your money. It looks great and you can adjust the color of the buttons of the head unit to match the color of the stock lights perfectly. Let me know what you guys think.

Auxillary input and USB input in glove box... I hate wires and I think this looks really clean.

Rearview Camera View

Rear view camera mounted with right side license plate light... hidden

Here you can see the rear view camera.

Damn, I wanna see this install, im using my work computer and pics are blocked, I guess I'll have to wait til I get home.

nice and clean job well done. did you do the install yourself?

SATX370Z · 10-25-2011, 12:04 AM

I have this exact same Head unit. its awesome! Looks great! i love that you can save a photo as the background. i have the "Z" logo as mine. everyone thinks it factory.

how did you mount the camera?
and can you upload more pictures of camera and mount?

XwChriswX · 10-25-2011, 12:54 AM

I have this same HU and I agree, it's the best bang for your buck...

Is it possible to get larger pictures to see better detail? Also for the background pic...

The install looks really clean, nicely done. I routed the cables through the console and up through the E-Brake hole into the box. It's not as clean but I didn't feel like drilling through the console

call me lazy haha...

Lastly, which rear view cam did you go with?

Dsevast · 10-25-2011, 06:12 AM

I did do the install myself. I will try to upload some more pictures later today.

The Rear view camera I used was recommended on this site and can be found here:Color CMOS/CCD 420 TV Lines Car Rear View Camera for Nissan Livina - Tmart.com... It is made for the Nissan Livina but fits perfectly for our Z's. It is really cheap but I could not justify spending close to 200 dollars on something that I would use for 10 seconds everytime I drove my car. The camera works flawlessly, and has lines to let me know how close I am to something when backing up (perfect for parking in my garage, I park in the same spot everytime).

I will post more pics today of the camera and what it looks like with the lights on. Thanks guys for all your interest.

I got the tmart cam and it stopped working a few days ago hopefully its not the cam but I love my HU its a great value!

Guard Dad · 10-25-2011, 01:38 PM

I have the same HU and I love it.

NismoZ370, if the back up camera trigger wire comes loose the camera will fail, also if you disconnect the power to this HU you have to reset the camera options in the HU's menu to restore camera operation.

chris90 · 10-25-2011, 02:04 PM

good call on that camera link. im going to attempt this same install myself following the DIY install videos.

NismoZ370 · 10-25-2011, 03:01 PM

drove during lunch and it started working again maybe it reprogrammed in that time.. but it works great other then the intermittent issue
