I have been a troll on this forum before I purchased my GPX so it's about time I give something back!
My goal of this thread is to document the installation of the Pioneer AVH-8500BHS. I do not intent to recreate the wheel as other threads have already done that. However I will relink all the reference materials.
Install Requirements:
• Maintain all current steering wheel controls
• Keep the monsoon amp and sub-woofer
• Keep chimes
• Parking Break Bypass
Why I chose the Pioneer AVH-8500BHS
•Display
o Removable Display
o Tilts, this is nice for a sunny day and cuts down on reflections in my opinion a must need for a convertible.
•Two USB ports one for the Phone and one for charging or USB Stick
•Supports SD Card
•Bluetooth
•8 Band EQ, and tons of configuration options
•High Quality and some level of future proof
•Compatible with my iPhone 5 and newer Droids for AppLync
oDashCommand DashCommand - Palmer Performance Engineering, Inc. Watch some of the videos on youtube it looks AWASOME!
o This will require a Bluetooth OBD-II reader to send the telemetry data for charting.
•DVD Player, Don't know if I will ever use this.
