I managed to squeeze it in there last night. Some 3M and she should be good to go :)

So taking the stock mic out of the mount is really easy. There are two small phillips screws holding it in. You need a special screwdriver to take them out. They usually come in a set with three different phillips heads, plus some slotted heads. They are great for repairing glasses as well :)

Ended up fitting like a glove http://www.the370z.com/members/plasm...502-195448.jpg http://www.the370z.com/members/plasm...502-201343.jpg Finally some double sided tape to keep it in place and there you have it. The housing clips into the light assembly and your mic is nice and secure and functional. Will post reviews on how well it works :) http://www.the370z.com/members/plasm...502-201328.jpg |
I have finished my install. Will have pics of the working display in a bit.
I can safely say that NO etching is needed to have a nice clear display. It is very bright and quite easy to read. I do apologize for not having pics of GPS and modular placement. I am not really one for taking a bunch of pics, considering I work alone, its a bit of a pain. To recap, I placed the display in my mirror, the gps in the passenger A pillar, near the bottom of the pillar (was a tight fit, the unit is quite a bit bigger than a HU gps module) out of the way of airbag deployment, the control module that everything plugs into is next to the computer module on the passenger side. USB is next to the 12v powersource on the passengers side, under the glove box. Speaker is next to the firewall, tucked in the corner with double sided tape on the passenger side. Laser, radar placement was pretty straight forward. The rear jammer is above the license plate and under the trunk open button. The front shifters on the top grill piece of the stock bumper. The radar detector in the middle of the grill of the stock bumper. All lines from the front going through the firewall at the same point as the front harness. |
Oh, and the mic seems to be working just as good as the spot the dealership had installed it at (top of the drivers side A pillar, with tape) and the GPS module for the HU is working just as good as it was installed (by front driver speaker on a metal sticky mat)
I am very pleased with how everything fits. There is a TON of room under the glovebox towards the firewall for you to put all sorts of things back there. I never had to lift the carpet up or remove the styrofoam from the floor. Although, there would be even more room for stuff if you did. Each to their own :) |
Another FYI with Pioneer....
The connector for your iPod is very touchy I have learned. I have it running underneath my console, next to the e-brake. For those of us in Canada, the switches for heated seats are great to zip tie to, to keep everything out of the way. However, be sure to tape your connectors together, my audio jacks are a bit loose, and just a touch out of place and sound only comes through the left or right, not both. I took my console off not once, but twice trying to fix this problem lol |
Thanks for all the information. What detector did you use?
|
BelTronics sti-r plus.
I will probably make another thread with everything properly laid out |
I am WAY too lazy to make another thread. Here is some more pics instead. The display is quite nice, even in bright sunshine. It IS a bit harder to see in direct light, but I think you can get away without having to etch your mirror.
