Help installing an after market head unit
Ok here goes
Im currently installing a Pioneer AVIC-X930BT in my 07 v6 replacing the Shaker 500. We hooked everything up but are not sure exactly how to wire the amps in to the new head unit.
These are the cables that were needed. Ive read in a couple places that a regulator is needed but it was mostly for the GT. If not how would this be wired in?
Any help would be great!

Everything is hooked up correctly but the bass sounds like absolute garbage! I read in a couple places that a 5v regulator is needed to get rid of a popping sound when the car is turned on or off, but I don't have that popping sound at all. Do I still need to install the regulator to get it to sound better? I'm debating on taking the Avic out and going back to the shaker if I can't get this right...

Are you getting any sound from your door subs? Just curious, since you're not getting a popping sound that the sub amps might not be on. If anything the door subs should be hitting harder with your Pioneer Receiver once it's properly set.

Glad you were able to get things sorted out. Post up your impressions as I am seriously considering the newer version (X940bt), which has a $100 mail-in rebate right now.

I picked up the x930bt at best buy. The only 2 differences with it that I read online was they used a different GPS manufacturer in the 940 and the software looks a little different. Other than that nothing else has changed. Best Buy currently has the 930 on sale for $499 i believe and with the harness and the dash kit i paid i think $540 total. Just something to think about
