Thanks, I defnitely will post pics.

I went to Circuit City this morning and looked at the AVIC-Z1, seems to be a very nice unit.

I doubt I will use CC to do the install, but rather will probably do it myself. There appears to be a wide range in prices for the AVIC-Z1 (like 1K almost), so I may go with one from an online shop.

Here is what I am going to end up doing:

1.) Install the AVIC-Z1. Still need to figure out which Bezel to go with to get the best look.

2.) Upgrade the speakers to component w/ an AMP for better sound.

3.) Install Sirius Tuner (currently have P&P unit in it now, but hate the sound, compared to my old car)

4.) Install Bluetooth phone integration kit for AVIC

5.) Install a 10" sealed sub box in a custom enclosure in the back passenger panel near the cargo so it is hidden out of site w/ no cargo space loss

A couple questions, I have seen some of the great bezel work that a member hear does, are there also any other options out there for an '02 X5?

Additionally, has anyone had any experience getting a PAC remote control device to work so that I can keep the steering wheel functions intact w/ the AVIC?

Thanks as always!
