FM modulation is terrible. I don't need my playlist displayed, I know what I'm listening to. $75 sounded to good to be true and , well apparently it is.

1. Pioneer Avic Z120BT $900
2. Pioneer Ipod cable $40
3. JL XD600/6 amp $400
4. Eurospeed bezel kit $275
5. Plate frame backup camera $150
6. Parrot dual mic $40
7. Installation $600

All in $2,400. The Pioneer, Kenwood or Apline 2 din units are the typical choices. All shoud have Ipod integration, bluetooth nav and voice command, pick a system that you perfer. You can also choose different levels of a swap. You can choose to swap the PCM with a head unit and use the power from the HU for about $1,500 or go down the road of gutting the whole system including speakers.

I am not a techno or high end audio person, all I needed was the functionality and a boost to the system with the new amp. I retained the Bose speakers. Sounds way better than the PCM. The most important part of the swap is the installer. Mine did a greeat job. He works on our cars all day long. The only holes he drill were to mount the amp inside the original navi casing. Very clean install. Many threads on this forum in connection with a swap. Here are some pics:
