fitting a pioneer avic-x1r

[lee b]

has anybody fitted one of these systems to there car because the control box is quite big and i just wondered were people fit them ie: under seats etc

I've put my pioneer system in, there was a smallish AV box with that, in my car there was room under the lower DIN space for it.

There's also quite a lot of room under the and behind the transmission tunnel cover, and i've fitted a power transformer just behind the dash to the right of the glovebox which may be a good spot.

Give me shout if you need a hand, i've become pretty familiar with fitting this stuff.

cheers mate i will let you know if i need your help. the new control box is quite a lot bigger than the older avic system and i also have a cd multichanger to fit as well

I've fitted the CD player under the passenger seat before. Have you thought about dumping it for a ipod though, you can get an interface for about £60 and have 60GB of music available, it's what i'm hoping to do.

Did mine a couple of weeks ago. Controlling box resides under the passenger seat.

Made my job more difficult by fitting my Rockford Fosgate amp & 2 Alpine subs as well.

Didnt bother fitting my 12 disc changer as I I have the Pioneer ipod attachment so can play all my tunes off of that
