So recently I have decided I want to get a pioneer or panasonic, just a double din dvd headunit and started looking around at different audio stores and they are telling me because of the shaker 1000 system I would have to completely redo the car, speakers, subs, wiring, etc all just for a new headunit...I don't have that kinda money..so are they jerkin me or is this really the case? I have never heard of anyone having to do that on these forums..

 

Check the interior appearance mods section, I am sure you can find a thread on someone with the exact unit you're looking at.

 

. I have a pioneer D-1 that works great with the stock speakers.

Talked to them and they said they got a wiring harness that makes it all work, thanks!

 

I have the Shaker 1000 also and I installed an AVIC-D3 with no problems, it works great. Here is some info that I wrote up for the D3 specifically but some of the info would probably be useful for other units as well.

 

Buncha crap. You can save a few bucks vs. Crutchfield by finding a harness elsewhere. Metra makes the harnesses and kits that they sell. Do a quick GIS.

 

Buncha crap. Try here. www.installer.com

 

yeah thats cr^& you just need the right kit to do it. Call critchfield they have good tech support

 

bs. i had a pioneer d-3 in my car for a little while. the head unit didn't work out. as far as sound goes however, it was very good. this was accomplished by using a voltage regulator. if your shop is telling you otherwise, they are either lying or unskilled.

 

Just out of curiosity how come it didn't work out? I got my D-3 back in March and I love it!

 

whats better the D3 or the Z2 based on you guys, i am looking for something like this but i do not know which one to go with and if it comes down to it i am just going to go with a carputer

 

I put a Kenwood DDX 7017 in mine and everything works great. Do a search there are some good write ups.
