shopping list check for package II GPS upgrade

1. To clarify, you have 6 speakers, but they are run on 4 lines (the front pair are the same wire).

2. Standard harness should do everything

3. Does the Pioneer come with a mic (external) - if so, a good mounting spot is on top of the steering column behind the steering wheel.

4. Reverse camera (???) - they're cheap on Ebay, and it's a good time to do it...

 

it does have a mic, and I have mine attached to the top of the steering column. It kept on moving the one piece of double backed tape, but stays in place with 2. I would rather use a better single black or clear double back tape to attach if anyone has suggestions.

I used the boyo 420, which was around $60 on amazon. It is a little thick but works well. I think the factory type looks better. I would get a ccd camera instead of cmos. It really helps with parallel parking.

 

I ran the mic wire up to the factory location. I then wrap around the mic in velcro and point it to driver. So far nobody complain about the voice quality or noise. The mic wire is long enough and I have the A-pillar plastic removed to run switched 12v for V1 so it's not big deal to do it.
