Anybody install a Pioneer AVIC-Z1?

Anybody install a Pioneer AVIC-Z1 yet? Any opinons on this or similar units? Seems to be a nice unit, but I am looking for some feedback on it before spending that many clams. Any mods to the dash needed or is there a trim kit available that will work with this?

Check out this thread: http://forum.ih8mud.com/showpost.php...64&postcount=2 Installiation is very similar with the only notable differences being that you will need to add a PAC Audio or other brand steering wheel interface with a pioneer (the eclipse is plug and play) and the location of the XM radio tuner if you decide to buy that as well. The XM Nav traffic unit is a little bigger then the Eclipse sirius unit and you may have problems stuffing it into the dash in the same location.

Trim kit needed is the same and are the basic techniques to install. The people I've talked to who have bought the AVIC Z1 seem very pleased with their purchase.
