Installed this Pionner AVH-X2500BT in the car. I chose it for price, bluetooth, and reviews. Not too bad for the money and the video quality is pretty good for the price as well





Had to wire in two relays 1 for the antenna on/off up/down and one for the video bypass to watch movies on the go



Did the amp bypass at the trunk where the amp was located so just had to tap speaker wires at the radio



Bluetooth microphone and Viper Alarm antenna



Initially the radio won't let you ride with video



But we tricked it





With my phone holder where I get bluetooth audio on my Droid phone with apps like Pandora

Also installed a rear view camera



Got this TRD plate surround so went ahead and mounted that. I like that it gives an added 2 bolts to the plate instead of just the top 2





Had the trunk apart for the rear camera so went ahead and wired up 3 runs of RCA's so that later I can add my 5 channel amplifier to power new front speakers, rears, and a subwoofer





Went ahead and softened the dampening on the suspension while I could. It rode a little stiff but I only took away 2 clicks



Went ahead and ran a 8 gauge power line to the front for future amplifier. This is underneath the driver's side wheel well where the grommet is





More updates to come

yes sir, had to find a better, more reliable daily. the 45min - 1 hour commute one way was getting pretty bad with that 5.7 liter chevy motor. no more need for a truck. so, found something more economical and practical. i've always wanted a 1st gen. the only car now i am lacking is the mkiv supra. had once for a very short period of time but to have one again would complete my garage
