Here is my latest mod, finally got a chance to snap photos and make a review about it.

Pioneer 60000-NEX with Apple Carplay upgradeability

AVIC-6000NEX - <b>NEW!</b> - In-Dash Navigation AV Receiver with 6.1” WVGA Touchscreen Display | Pioneer Electronics USA

The unit has the capability to be upgraded to Apple's Carplay once it becomes available (most likely later in the year) but has a full Apple Ipod integration and can play music as well through your Bluetooth connection.

What I ended up purchasing consisted of the following:

Pioneer 6000-NEX head unit
Metra Double-Din Kit
Metra 70-1729 wiring harness
Metra 40 HD-10 Honda specific Antenna adaptor

The real reason why I wanted this unit, is the fact that it provides real-time traffic updates and reroutes

It also has HD radio already installed in the unit without having to buy any adaptor

Bluetooth audio allows you to stream your audio files but I am now just using a dedicated Ipod for everything since I have noticed it is a better quality audio

Full Ipod integration including playlists, artist and album info

This is where I ended up mounting the bluetooth wired mic, I will end up replacing this install for one that is more flush

I ended up removing the OEM USB mount and instead snaked the Pioneer USB through that location. I also ended up mounting the Navigation Antenna so that it could be a cleaner overall install.

nice job on the install :tup: looks great. and yah, that's where i'd put the gps antenna as well :tup: (i use my phone for nav via voice command)

i like how the display controls for your phone is on the driver side. on my 2500BT it's on the passenger side so a little bit of a reach. :D

:tup:

My only gripes are that I wish it had a volume knob like the AVIC-D3 in my Z has and it doesn't work well with my Ipod since it's so old.

I ended up buying a new Ipod Nano today so that it would work better with the unit than my 8 year old Ipod :icon17:

Bought a dedicated Ipod for this car, going to leave my old one in the Z

The old Ipod's software from 2005 wasn't working well with the Pioneers 2014 software

that's awesome! GJ. :D hahaha.

im waiting to get the new ipod touch 6 soon. :p i have the touch5, but want bigger memory. im hoping they do the ipod touch6 PLUS...


also btw, i figured out wat was wrong with my 09 fit. some animal or something my wife ran over chewed up the water temp sensor harness. :eekdance: so solded it back together. im kinda pissed i didnt see that sooner, but im happy that it wasnt some reliability issue by honda. :D hahaha

guess it will be something i routinely check on my '12 as well from now on.

I'm glad to hear you got everything sorted out! :tup:

Update!

I was finally able to pull the trigger on my Mugen parts and some other exterior things to finish my build

I have the following waiting to be installed in the next few weeks in this photo..

Mugen front lip
Mugen rear lip
Mugen badge
2013 headlights
New rear hatch inside cover
In-cabin filter
Mobil 1 oil and filter
ATF

Pending:
Mugen exhaust (waiting to be installed)
Koni shocks (ordered)

dang you're still working on this car, ey? :tup:

my fits are dirty as hell from salt, icemelt, grit, crap, you name it. :D

Your poor Fits :(

All these parts I had been planning on getting for awhile, I was just waiting to stop carpooling so they wouldn't get destroyed on the freeway!

Going to end up getting the Koni shocks next week or so then get all this stuff installed. Stay tuned! :tup:

that's cool. does koni now offer the fronts for the GE? i know they had the rears for a while..


yah, my fits are beaters. they are my winter cars afterall. :D

I'm going with Koni STR.T's which are non adjustable but pair well with aftermarket springs :tup:

Swapped out my Tanabe exhaust yesterday for the Mugen exhaust

Further away, definitely much smaller than the Tanabe :icon17:

Closeup, pea shooter!

First impressions, exhaust is way too quiet. Going to have to remove the stock resonator to liven up the exhaust note.

I wish my Fit was as clean as yours. I need that Tanabe!

The Mugen exhaust is so tiny without a tip.

Mugen is ridiculously tiny but it will all make sense once I install my Mugen rear :tup:

Going to do everything I can to get that exhaust in your possession ;)

Picked up some Koni STR.T's

Also have a rolling clip of my exhaust after getting the resonator removed:
