Installed a 7" Pioneer Navi AV receiver in my W210

I had a shop in LA install a Pioneer AVIC-7000 NEX in my 2001 W210 E430 this past week.

http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PU...X/AVIC-7000NEX


It is compatible with Apple Car Play, although it requires a firmware update from Pioneer when it's released in about a month:

The installation is immaculate. It looks like it came from the factory this way.

To fit the screen in, the HVAC controls were moved to the cubby hole behind the door.

Here are pics of before and after:

Look awesome! I like the AC controls in the cubby. I'm not sure about you but I miss having that cubby for storage :/

Have you found a good way to have an aux in and USB charging? Thinking of making something in the cig lighter cubby. Something like the attached photo.

Dension is the only company that makes a cable for an iPod. It occupies the CD changer port. I used that to play my iPod Classic or charge my iphone.

Hey Suginami,

Those pics look great. Mind pinging me which shop did the install for you? I'm in LA and have been thinking of doing the same thing with my 2007 GL 450. It has the terrible Comand/Atari system. Thanks!
