pardonator Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Has anyone seen these? I think they'd be a perfect fit for the dash cubby hole, know if it's easy enough to link up to the bose stereo? http://www.infosyncworld.com/reviews/ca ... ic-f500bt/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Not bad for £450.... http://connectmycar.com/sat-nav/pioneer ... nnectmycar could look pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 On the pioneer web page it suggests that they do make one which will fit the 350z, but I think its a double din replacement. It also has its own 4x45w amp built in, so it would suggest that it wont be just an add on. They look to be quite a smart little system for the money.

pardonator Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 They must have to connect in via an aux or something though. I was under the impression the Bose has no inputs ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Its the F700BT that has all the AV bits and is a double din I think.. The 500BT is just like a SATNAV unit I think, but it does have Aux inputs http://www.pioneer.co.uk/uk/products/25 ... index.html RCA AV Input 1 (with optional CD-RM10 AV cable) RCA AV Rear Output 1 Aux. In Yes (side-in aux. in and headphone jack) iPod Control Yes, via optional CD-IU200VM connector USB Control Yes, included Portable Device Connectivity Yes, via optional CD-V150M or CD-RM10 cable. Bluetooth Telephony Yes, Parrot Bluetooth module built-in Reverse Camera Input Yes, for the optional ND-BC2 or ND-BC20PA reverse cameras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 i was looking at getting one of these and intergrating it into the cubby hole. its said tha the little amp wires into the original system and controls the oem system audio volume. what i need to know after reading above is how likely is this. i don't want to buy this and find i cant hardwire it into the car.

rtbiscuit Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Also does anyone know where to get a new facia to fit where the cubby was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 anyone have any ideas or pics of what the back of the bose unit looks like. am trying to find out if this unit will plug into it? their must be some kind of input as the OEM satnav runs through the speakers. but i don't want to go and buy one to find it won't intergrate. worst case senario is i have to run it off its own speaker like a standard screen mounted satnav. still interested if anyone has seen these, i've had a play 900bt and the pioneer system seems good, don't know what other peoples opinins are or if they would reccommend a better system. for a similar price.

rtbiscuit Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 found out abit more about this item, it looks like the mini amp that comes with this works like an in-line amp. you unplug an audio cable fromt ehback of the original headunit and plug into the f500 amp. it then runs a new cable from the amp back into the headunit. and another that feeds up to the GPS. this is how it intergrates and gives all the features. this should mean its compatible with the bose head unit. what i need help with as i have never done it before is how do you mount a double din screen or equivilant behind the cubby. i have a flip up cubby, and as far as i am aware you can remove the back box section leaving the door in place. my next question is how do i fix the unit in place behind it. will i need to custom fabricate a frame to hold the unit and mount up on to the original cubby box fixing points and then fit it all back in? any pics of what the dash looks like dismantled would be greatly appreciated. if i have to fabricate up a cradle and this all works i will take pics as i go, and would possibly make up cradles for other people. this unit should give me the opportunity to run an external harddrive through it with all my music on (could put up to 250 gb in) it will also take a reversing camera, or link you ipod up to it instead of an external hard drive. i plan to run an ipod cable to the same place as the current bluetooth adapter is. but as i've said before, never retro fitted a screen into a dash before.

Martin W Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 anyone have any ideas or pics of what the back of the bose unit looks like. am trying to find out if this unit will plug into it? their must be some kind of input as the OEM satnav runs through the speakers. # Bose unit i replaced with Pioneer AVIC-D3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 i've found the manual for the amp section of this product. it has a full pictorial diagram showing how it all connects, http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/Stati ... al0410.pdf but i don't know enough about stereos, in particular the bose unit to work out how it connects up. would this work, or can you cut the connecting blocks off and hardwire it into the original wiring of the bose unit? anyone with ICE experience would be greatly appreciated.

rtbiscuit Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 anyone with ice experience able to help on this one??? i don't want to spend £400 and it not to work, just needed a little reassurance from someone who knows more than me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 What do you want to know? If its about the Aux bit you would be better off buying a single din and putting it in the bottom and then putting this in the top, at least you may have the easier AUX in?

3FIDDYZ Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 But then you might as well go for a dedicated Kenwood or Pioneer double din and then link a 2nd screen to it... This lot is up for sale for a 1k Kenwood DNX7200 Kenwood KCA-BT200 Bluetooth Kit Alpine HCE C200R Multi view rear camera system and control box (you can just plug a front view camera to this). Two Infinity Subwoofers and its custom built box that is a perfect fit for the back of the Z 3 x Alpine Amps with its stand and cover which again as seen on my installation is a perfect fit for the Z And then you just need to spend £100 on a liliput screen for the upper cubby!

rtbiscuit Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 What do you want to know? If its about the Aux bit you would be better off buying a single din and putting it in the bottom and then putting this in the top, at least you may have the easier AUX in? just looking at the wiring diagram, and the pic of the back of the head unit trying to work out how it goes together, they say its compatible with pretty much every headunit, but i've never seen a heasdunit with that many plug in sections? let alone the bose unit i was wondering if it was possible to hard wire it into the original audio loom. as all the speaker parts are labelled in the diagram i like the sound of the kit thats up for sale, but its more than i want. i'd rather do a carputer, or nurrishes piece of kit. i prefer a more oem look.

rtbiscuit Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 cheers for the link. i'm kinda thinking it might work, but worst case senario i run it like a standard sat nav not through the car audio. i have plans on how to fit it oem style in the cubby hole. and using the standard lift lid instead of the push back one. just gives that bigger screen compared to things like tom tom, garmin etc. don't mind being the first, but only when i know what i'm doing. ICE is a whole new ball game for me. suppose i'll just have to learn as i do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 plan is to make a glass fibre back tray to hold the unit. run all power cables through the back of the centre console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 If you get a flip back jobbie, then a couple of zip ties and some foam should do the job like the liliput installs.... Or if you wanted to take it out you could do this!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 i like the idea of it being hidden, and the flip up lid should act as a good sun block. hopefully the GF tray will mean easy put in and take out. but untill i take the centre console to pieces and make up a mould i won't know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 well i've given in. bought a Pioneer avic F500BT tonight, and managed to get it for £388 ic delivery. which i thought was quite good. but i bet someone on here will find it cheaper should hopefully get it in a few days time and once i've had a chance to sit down and work out fitting. i'll tell you all if it integrates or not.

rtbiscuit Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 right its head ache time, got my dash disassembled which was aneasy job but my next head ache was working out connectors. here is the rear of the unit as you can see the connectors in the rear now here is the problem here are my connectors as you can see they dont match. now my guess work as deduced that the two identical connectors (from the satnav) should plug into the headunit and that the ones from the headunit which theortically should be identical to the ones on the satnav loom should plug into the really big block that is on the satnav loom. so that the satnav and mini amp ity comes with work like a piggy back on the headunit. but i cant see how i'm going to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srobrien Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 What cable did you buy? also are you retaining the satnav or ditching it? R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 didn't buy any cable this is part of the wiring harness for the SatNav the satnav is as thick as a screen but has built in GPS, AV capability, SD card SLot, Bluetooth phone, Video, Ipod connectivity etc and all runs through a tiny piggy back Amp that gets put somewhere else. there are cables from the unit to the amp and then from the amp to the car. i'll try and find the wireing diagram online after dinner and post it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 http://www.pioneer.eu/images/products/c ... _large.jpg this pic shows the back of the AVHP 3100DVD and it has a slot that would take the 2 smaller plugs from the harness so this must mean i need to find a harness adapter of some kind to plug into the back of the unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
