4DThinker Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) I just had Pioneer's AVIC-Z120BT installed in my 2010 XLT and with the right dash kit and wire harness it fit and worked fine. You'll need all three parts show on THIS page. Edited July 22, 2010 by 4DThinker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TClary Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 I am envious A tad out of my price range though. But, thank you for the advice. I'm ordering the install kit now Again, Terri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4DThinker Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Yea, I'm lucky to have a wife who's theory is buy the best available at the time you buy. The AVIC-Z120BT was also the only device I could find that had every feature I wanted already built-in. You'll be happy with any upgrade to the stock radio though.

4DThinker Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 something I discovered about my Pioneer head unit that may be a problem for other pioneer products: Mine has both amplified and line-level outputs for speakers. When I added an amp and rear speakers, we used the line-outs to the amp. The front speakers used the powered outputs through the TC's harness. With the unit on, the rear speakers produced a distracting buzz that increases in frequency relative to increases in the engine RPM. Alternator noise. - to try and eliminate this noise, we replaced my cheap old amp with a new modern one. Didn't help. - We ran a new RCA cable. The original followed the power cable to the amp. Didn't help. - We added a noise filter, once at the amp end and once at the head unit end. Didn't help. - Finally we abandoned the line-outs and used the rear speaker out from the Pioneer. We also added a speaker/line-level adapter between the head unit and amp. Problem solved. Noise eliminated. Apparently the amped side of the Pioneer is well shielded against noise, but the un-amped side is NOT. The noise was being picked up off the DC line feed to the Pioneer, and affects all line-outs. 4D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Music will be for just the cab area....the cargo is full of dog crates, dog training gear and Dobermanns who don't much care whats on the radio T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TClary Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 It's installed! Let the talk me into a small amp. Used Infinity component type speakers installed in the door. I love it! The nav works great and the Bluetooth for the phone is good, too.Haven't had any complaints on phone quality. Terri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
