here goes nothing...avic n1 install

utkid1088 · 02-07-2009, 01:00 PM

i just recently purchased a pioneer avic n1 mmmmm. BUT the head unit has a "short" in it. everything else is a ok. if there is anyone that has installed one of these before or knows anything about them the help would be greatly appreciated.
1) where the hell is my speed sensor wire for a 1997 sr5? i dont even know where to start looking.
2)where should i put the hide away
3) is there anywhere cheaper than pioneeer (200$) that can fix the short? ebay maybe?
4)what do you think?

short? that sounds bad. at our store, pioneer stuff only went back to pioneer.

"VSS green/orange instrument cluster of ecm Notes: The ECM is behind the glove box. "

thats from the directechs site. you can prolly hide your hideaway behind the glovebox possibly.

ya that is what i have been told as well...there is a guy on ebay that offers repair service for them i have spoken with him a few times so i think im going to ship it to him and let him take a look at it. plus his services are 150$ cheaper than pioneer. i woudnt even know where to start taking off the glove box...

I think you should post some pictures when you get that thing in...

I'd be interested to see how it went and how the finished project looks

well if it went anything like the sony head unit i have in right now it will be a complete cluster f***. now i have all of the wiring in place so the head unit will go in now problem it is just all of the extras that i am worried about. where to connect the GPS and all that shenanigans. pictures will be updated ASAP. cheers.
