I have an '06 and installed an Avic-F700bt. I bought the PAC unit and followed the intstructions that came with the kit. It took a couple minutes to install and another couple minutes to program, but worked on the first try. There's really nothing to it.

solid snake and i live next to each other, only thing bothering me is what wire to splice into on the truck, i have seen a picture somewhere but for the life of me i cant find it now...

cj_allen if you could snap a picture or do a write up, it would greatly help the both of install this unit into our truck, solidsnake has a pioneer unit and i have a kenwood unit, i hve look at the directions on the website and they make sense but i don't know where to splice if you get what i mean.

I also haven't physically opened the package i got from PAC yet, maybe ill take a sneak peak at there directions to figure it out tonight. damn this cold weather!

I just looked up my paperwork from the install and I have the same exact diagram showing "pin 18" is the wire to splice. On the back of the Pioneer, there is a dedicated "remote" wire that is green I believe, that you hook to the pac unit. It's clearly labled. Good luck guys. I installed my nav unit w/ xm, bluetooth, and steering wheel Pac unit in about 3 hours. It's not that bad.

yeah we ended up installing the unit the other night and got everything straightened up. the swi jack is kinda confusing at first, as i didnt understand all the flashes and etc, but it only took about 5-10 minutes after reading the directions again and again. here are some pics of the after math.



and my start up load screen is this

easy install for anyone thats never done it. hardest part was the freezing temps outside and getting the soldering iron to work! cake from there.

Looks like it turned out nice. I kinda wish I would have went with the Kenwood instead of the Pioneer. I have had problems with the unit from the get go. I have to pull it out and send it back to Pioneer AGAIN! Last time they sent me the wrong one back.

what problems have you been having?

[cj_allen]

Everything from the bluetooth not reponding or being able to adjust the volume during calls to only getting mono sound out of my ipod. The first unit that I had, the screen blacked out and was totally useless. I sent it to Pioneer to be repaired and they sent me somebody elses head unit back that was older than mine. The siad they'll give me a new one, but damn it's a pain to keep taking these things out and putting them back in. The second unit is a little better, but not much.
