The Pioneer site lists the Bluetooth at $180...I think they're about $100 on eBay...

Got mine for $110 at Visions.

Ya. there is decent amount of room under there, Thats where i put my cross-overs for my speakers in the front door, since i couldnt fit them in the door.(They are huge too, alpine type-X cross-overs.)

Hope you get/fine what you are looking for.

I imagine the Bluetooth adapter is about the same size? That starts to become a lot of wiring to hide and I only have so many seats to hide shyte under...

I found a nice place to secure the Bluetooth box to, it's eaiser to keep it under the dash.

If we all solely relied on that and didn't turn to our peers for consult, why is this damn site here in the first place?!?!?!

I can see your point, but I found it in 10 seconds with Google. But With some simple things, I just think sometimes it's faster to search yourself than it is for somone else to type it out and you waiting for the info.

The XM adaptors were about 6'' by 6'' by 1'', but you needed two of them. The sirius ones look to be about the same size. You wont be able to 'hide' it behind the deck, but rather mount it under a seat or in your glove box.

There is this new thing out: Google.ca

I was wrong, it's a all in one add-on box.

Why can't I find the dimensions of those things? I wonder if they're small enough to hide easily...? And by the way, the "search here, search there" comments are seriously getting old. If we all solely relied on that and didn't turn to our peers for consult, why is this damn site here in the first place?!?!?!

So I'd still have to buy a Sirius Sportster or something? That seems kind of redundant. Why wouldn't they just have an internal Sirius/XM tuner?

You shouldn't need to buy anything like a Sportster you just need to buy a satellite receiver like these

1. Not Sure, someone has to be the guinea pig.
2. Yes, lot's of choices, you can even adjust the RGB to match it perfectly.
3. Yes, it's similar, not perfect.
4. Yes
5. Yes
6. Not Much, move a wire and ground another.
7. As well as any other deck.
8. It has to be a specific size saved on a specific dirorectory on a cd.
9. Buy the adapter, then It's ready to have the XM plugged into the back of the adapter that is daisy chained with the bluetooth, take the xm off your window and stuff it behind your dash somewhere.
10. Nope.

Re: Avic HU Questions - Let's put all the answers in One place!

Redmile, thank you for your answers...and the PAC SWI-CAN is the module needed to integrate the steering wheel controls with the Avic.

No problem. My answers aren't exact as I do not own an avic nor install them, I just used to sell them and talked to installers. We never used the PAC SWI-CAN but rather the PESWICAN from peripheral. As a salesman though I would never even suggest them as they never worked like they were supposed to. Maybe is PAC work better but I doubt it. Keep us updated on how the install goes, as I know there are a bunch of us on here who would love to put an avic in our cars.
