Finally broke down and upgraded the audio system yesterday. I have a Pioneer S1 nav unit, OEM head unit & sub woofer for sale (to post later) as well as OEM CD changer soon.

I kept the Infinity Kappas I swapped in @2004 and replaced everything else. Here's the shopping list:

Optima Yellowtop D34/78 battery
Pioneer AVIC Z2 w/bluetooth & iPod modules (thanks turbo Todd & John Kuhn)
Alpine PDX-4.100 4x100w cabin speaker amp
Alpine PDX-1.600 1x600w sub woofer amp
JL Audio 10W3v3 4ohm 10" sub woofer in custom box firing through the OEM sub opening.

Amps & sub are mounted on trunk shelf next to full-size spare. Dynomated the trunk shelf area. Custom cover with "peek-a-boo" pull out insert hides it all for clean stealthy look.

Boot up the Z2

Peek-a-boo I see you

Great install over all EXCEPT... had a scratch on one Alpine faceplate (see pic - already replaced with a new one today) AND they crushed the lids on my trunk organizer. :(:mad::mad2: - not a problem. I will get a whole replacement assembly courtesy of Car Toys!

Do you mean the CD cartridge for the changer? That has to go with the changer. Be hard to do any changing without it.

I think he saw where you mentioned the radio you are selling. S1 I believe.

It looks great man. Damn, I wish I would have gotten it installed before the deal I had with my existing radio ran out. It looks awesome.

And I bet all the features are going to be even better.

The only number on it I see resembling a Ford part number on it is:

3F1T-18C833-AA

Check with Ray "The Dealer" (member on the board). If its a Ford part, he can find it.

They tend to be expensive from FORD, even at cost I think they were at least $50

Me either. Nice. Nice set up, Bruce. Cant wait to see {hear} it in person.

Are they buying you a new organizer? If they are, is the old one still "usesable"?

The lids are shot but the lower piece is reusable.

As for the music thing, I think you whipper snappers would be pleasantly surprised at the variety of my CD collection.

PS. Its Brute... not Bruce. Bruce is that other old guy.
