JVC KWZ1000 Installed in 2013 Denali

[13UpInSmoke]

2013 Denali with Bose Premium & Nav to start with. Used the Pac RP5GM32 & a Metra dash kit. Added the Sirius tuner as well with an adapter of amazon to use the factory Sirius antennae. JVC KWZ1000 has built in wireless carplay & android auto. Install went pretty smooth, I did cut the back out of the radio cage are to get me a little more room to mount the radio itself deeper into the dash as the shift lever was barely making contact with the edge of the screen. Also there's a lot of wires & modules to shove back into that cavity so cutting out the backing just opened up more of it. First impressions the unit is amazing, bright & still very clear in direct sunlight. Has a bunch of eq settings that I haven't gotten into yet. Bat way happier with this than the Tesla Screen I was trying to get to work. Wil go back & swap the Pac harness out with a Maestro RR2 as it can use the OBD2 port to pull info onto the screen.

Couple more pics showing how far the unit comes out of the dash & how close the shifter is to the screen in Drive

Looks great. I wanted the same head unit but everywhere I searched said it would not fit smh. Didn't think about cutting the back of the radio cage. I ended up with a cheaper Boss 10in head unit. Works well but not as fancy.

I looked at the Boss units too since I was having a hard time finding the JVC in stock, but got lucky & it popped up on Amazon.
