I am in the process of installing my AVIC-D3 as I write this. I have one of Rich's bezels, and I had to cut away the top 1/2 inch inside as well, but it really didn't take much to do it. I am taking pics as I go and will post all when finished. Doing the AVIC-D3, XM Traffic tuner, iPod link, and Pioneer bluetooth too. Does anyone have pics and advice on the wiring for the D3 to the existing harness in the dash???

Any update on those pics?

Just seeing if this is something someone would be interested in purchasing my bezel. It is a VERY solid piece, about 3/4"-1" thick, has universal bracketing attached for use w/ I'm guessing just about any double din deck. I'm 6'4" and have been accused of reclining my seat back enough to appear that I'm in the backseat :) If I sit upright like a "normal" person the angle is great, but that simply isn't how I sit in my X, especially on 8hr roadtrips back and forth from Seattle and Reno. I bought this from Sobi (his X5 in the pics, it's too cold in the garage to take new pics w/ my black interior ;)...unless that'll make or break the sale), I definately sit further back from the screen than he does, and he can confirm that it's a studry bezel and in great shape...for someone under 6' or sits more upright. I'm looking to sell this bezel and force myself to pay the difference to get a mybimmer.net bezel instead. I'd like to get at least like $150, maybe even shipped for it. Any takers?

Thread bump...how did you guys mount the decks? My dash is cutup just like the pic above, but I have yet to get replies on the other threads I've posted on and looked at as to mounting the deck before I put the bezel on. Hopefully those of you subscribed to this thread will post up pics of what you used?

PS - My bezel (which has integrated brackets) is for sale, $125 shipped.
