My Scosche install. The Good and the Bad! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Got my Avic130bt and Scosche installed today. Took about 5 hours so far. I say so far because I still need to run the mic and GPS antenna up from under dash. All went well except for the gauge pack reinstall. Thats where I found out that since I have a Hurst shifter plate it makes for a real tough time getting the gauge pack back in place due to height of shifter plate. I found that if I pop the stabilitrak button and cigarette lighter up it makes it a bit easier to get it in the proper position.

Nice!

JoshBobGuptaMarley · 01-21-2012, 05:25 PM

Can you do some pictures that are not just right on the unit so we can see what the whole dash looks like with it installed? Thanks and it looks great!

Rcfiddy1 · 01-21-2012, 05:34 PM

HEre ya go, Don't mind the mess. Still goto mount XM over glove box.

JoshBobGuptaMarley · 01-21-2012, 05:43 PM

I think it looks great but how do you think it looks?

Caswell239 · 01-21-2012, 05:50 PM

jordanc · 01-21-2012, 05:50 PM

Kevinshawnm · 01-21-2012, 05:51 PM

Looks real good to me!

Whipped416 · 01-21-2012, 05:53 PM

did u do a write up on install?

mlgreen · 01-21-2012, 05:56 PM

So does it impair the view of the four pack cluster?

Rcfiddy1 · 01-21-2012, 05:59 PM

It does block a bit of the top 2 gauges. I will be doing a write up tomorrow since I have to pull it out again to connect my backup camera I forgot. My gauges are blue and the avid can change colors to your liking.

Caddyroger · 01-21-2012, 06:31 PM

I'll be installing the same navigation when my dash kit and warmer weather gets here. Nice job and looks great.

mlgreen · 01-21-2012, 07:13 PM

Looks awesome. Do you have the oem backup camera and if so can it be connected directly to the Avic130bt?

Rcfiddy1 · 01-21-2012, 07:35 PM
