Anyone tried installing a AVIC-Z2 yet? I am thinking of getting that with the corksport kit. The HDD and the Voice Recognition sounds like a cool thing to have.
Example, the Eclipse units Im looking at: http://www.eclipse-web.com/avn/feature-hdd.html 3.1 mil POI for the HDD unit 8.5 mil POI for the DVD based unit |

I've heard mixed reviews on HDD based systems. First, they advertise "30GB" storage space, but they fail to mention that 20GB will be used for Navigation. Also, I know they almost ALWAYS have fewer POIs than their DVD-based counterparts. Add in the increased price tag and....thats about enough for me to stick with the DVD navi units.

ZoomZoom - if you had searched you would have found my thread about the Z2 - it's great! it had some problems like it wouldn't do dvds while driving and the HD would lock up when it got hot - but that is all fixed now! it's freakin awesome now!
here is a link to my thread but remember it's old, hehe https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-interior-audio-electronics-24/corksport-avic-z2-experience-review-rest-my-alpine-system-121032/ the only complaint is updates... but thats true with just about any nav system nowadays - but it's been a L O N G time since they've released an update.. and i would say that most DVD systems would push out updates faster, but then look at the RX8 nav - it's been over 2 years.. and if you have any Z2 specific questions, feel free to PM me and keep an eye on www.avic411.com to watch for mods and news and stuff. |

Hey guys, couple questions. I was told the Bose adapter is just an LOC, so I bought one. Took the RCA outs of the D3 into the LOC and then into the corksport harness. Will this work? My other question is how the hell did you guys get the HU in with all those wires??? Mine still won't go in. And BTW, could someone tell me in greater detail how to do the driving/video hack? Thanks.

|

Single Din |
Awesome so basically all I need is the metra kit! Appreciate it ! I thought there was a separate adapter needed for the Bose speakers when just changing the HU
|
Make note that the double din will not work for climate control models
|
Metra kit is all you need now

mine is an 04 i don't have auto climate controls so should be fine! appreciate all the help! ill go delete that thread i started now...
|
so if i get this head unit :http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PU...on/AVIC-Z130BT
would i still be in the clear since it has an internal amplifier? sorry im very new to this i can plug wires and follow directions but knowing exactly what i need when it comes to this is confusing with all the different threads |
Yes.
And the install is FAR more than plugging in some wires. IMO the RX8 kit is one of the most difficult kits Metra makes. |
from the intructions the only issue it seems i would have is doing the wiring correctly. ive taken the HU apart and changed the LEDs out which wasnt much trouble or to hard to solder but ill see what i can do once i get everything and start putting it in. the instructions dont seem to be terribly explicit on what exactly to do. the soldering and matching of wires would be the most difficult for me just becuase of the fear not soldering the wires to the correct counterpart wires
|
Wait so if I have a 2007 Rx8 Sport, I can install the double din metra kit?
Will buying it from amazon give me the newest firmware on the Axcess box? -I was confused about the whole 'climate control' thing |
|
Sorry!!
I'll bugger off if you can answer my question... |
|
What about the automatic climate control issue?
And how would i get the newest firmware if it doesnt already come with it? |
unless you're in europe or asia you shouldnt have automatic climate controls
|
Thanks. That makes sense.
What about the metra kit firmware though? Will it come installed with 1.4? |
no way to know till you turn it on. There is a metra thread going for people looking to upgrade their firmware
