I just bought this bad boy for my 2006 Pathfinder and had it installed. It rocks. Not only that, but you can add so much to it. Anyone have any experience with these things? Any neat little tricks to know about them?

thanks.

lol, use it daily, how you like the voice commands?

**xsperf** · 07-23-2006, 03:38 PM

ive had another version of them, how much did you get that one for?

**billycuth** · 07-23-2006, 06:36 PM

love em, rooz. I know you work for tweeter.

I got mine for 2000, but free install. They did a great job, cant even tell they were in the car, and it looks as good as if it came from the factory.

I cant wait to have a bluetooth phone.

rooz, can you salvage factory steering wheel controls with the PAC SWI-PS that you know of? Does tweeter use PAC?

I sure can and we sure do. You have a tweeter around you?

**billycuth** · 07-24-2006, 07:15 AM

yes, but I bought it on Ebay. I was just making sure. The folks where I had it installed didnt think it could be done, even using the PAC steering wheel adapter. Good to know it can work.

Thanks dude.

**celsdogg** · 07-24-2006, 07:29 AM

^^ I was away for quite some time. I looked for a thread, but never found it.

Why did you sell it, Rooz?

**Rooz** · 07-24-2006, 11:13 AM

The fact that it had given me some serious issues kind of turned me off from it. Plus, miles were starting to get to the un wanted area and I sold it at a good price. PLUS I wanted a manual

**billycuth** · 07-24-2006, 09:34 PM

unwanted area? bimmers will run a long time.

they are expensive, too. remember all that money you put into her? gone.

the newer one is only that much more expensive. but you seem to have limitless cashflow, so whatever floats your boat...

anyone know how to connect resistors when dealing with a steering wheel adapter?

**Dudesky** · 07-27-2006, 05:07 AM

Not familiar with the application, but here's some background . . Resistors limit current (proportionally), and diodes maintain flow of current in one direction. Which are you trying to do?

**billycuth** · 07-27-2006, 08:36 AM

add a PAC SWI (steering wheel interface) to be able to use my factory steering wheel controls with this AVIC z1 unit. It says to add these resistors to my connection, and is very vague. The resistors look like they need to be soldered, but instructions dont say how to use them, and I have never used them.

here are the instructions...
