I installed my AVIC-Z120bt last Thursday night ... AMAZING!!! I have NEVER and I repeat NEVER done a stereo install before (let alone a unit like this) ... I have to admit I had some help from my neighbor who generously volunteered to help out, but overall I'd say it went rather smoothly.
I installed it in my 2006 SR5, which I've owned for about 3 weeks now. I've done a few modifications already ... Added a spoiler - LOOKS AWESOME! Then I tinted all the window's 20% and that looks really great too.
Finally, I added the AVIC ... PAC-SWI steering wheel control adapter/Sirius Tuner/iPod and iPhone cable in the center console ... All went smooth and it took us about 5 hours. Honestly though, it would only have taken about 3 1/2 had we been able to find the VSS wire in the fuse box ... We wasted about 1 1/2 hours looking for that thing alone! Finally found it with the help of Crutchfield (I was glad I used their kit because it allowed me to get service help and I called them 5 times!!!) I ordered most of the stuff off of Amazon (amazing deal) and then the wiring harness/kit from Crutchfield.
I might add that Amazon had a $100 rebate, but when I went back yesterday to print it off --- it was GONE!!! Ouch!!! So, I called them ... Guess what? They credited my account $100 ... AMAZON ROCKS!!!
Anyone interested in pics, or have you seen enough from others that have installed?
