Need to confirm parts needed- AVIC-x920bt

[sylynce]

Hi all-

If you weren't aware Amazon.com has a 30% off deal right now on Pioneer audio, but the kicker is if you order another qualifying part, you get another 10% off. There is also a $100 rebate on the AVIC-x920bt unit on top of that.

 

Needless to say, I ordered one. Since it is en route, I wanted to order all the installation parts so I could hook it up, but this is where I need some help.

 

I believe I need:

PAC-SWI-PS to maintain my steering wheel controls

Metra 95-5812 double din dash kit

PAC C2R-FRD1 radio interface to connect the AVIC to the Ford

BAA20 antenna adapter

 

This is for installation into my 2010 Ford Edge SEL, nothing special re: sub/ amp. Not too sure about the Sirius interface, and what parts I will need for that, or if I will bother.

 

Any/ all help would be greatly appreciated.

I am getting close to replacing my HU as well. I am looking at the Pioneer AVH-P4200DVD.

 

I am concerned with the reviews I'm seeing for the PAC-SWI-PS unit. In looking at alternatives, I've found the Metra Axxess ASWC. At this point, this is the way I'm going to go. Have you looked at this unit?

 

Good luck.

I talked to an installed yesterday- apparenlty the PAC-SWI-PS is an older unit no longer in production. There is a new "all-in"one" deveice that has replaced all the vehicle specific devices for simplicity sake (and likely to either charge more or to decrease manufacturing costs).

 

You will need to go with something like the PAC-C2R-FRD1 if yours is a nav-capable device. The metra dash kit (95-5812) will work fine- it is a much simpler version that the 99-5812 which has both single and double din ports, and a drawer shell for single din units, assuming your device is doulbe din. Save a little $ as well.

 

I hope this helps.

So how did the installation go sylynce? I am thinking of upgrading the factory 6-CD radio (no navi) in my '07 Edge to the AVIC-Z120bt, and I wanted to know if the parts you listed were enough to get the job done. Also, did you tap into the speed sensor, and the reverse wire for the navigation? I just started looking into what needs to be done to install a navigation unit and would appreciate any info.

 

Thanks
