Thanks RJ,

Other,
Specifics concern wiring. Did you splice into the existing harness pins and how so...
Was the wiring coded similar in terms of C2 interface question on terminal E pin? On your rig.

Camera,
Did you run your cables/wires the same routes as F5 in his plan?

Chime
" same runs & same mounting by glove box of module?

Any other lessons learned you car to share. Not looking to drill any new/unneeded holes or solder splash any wires not required... The D2 should have less then the Z1 but still wondering.

LOL.....I didnt do the installation. I had it done at a Pioneer dealer. I am way too dumb to have installed it myself. But...everything you mentioned above sounds really impressive to me!!!

I would hazard to guess that the wiring for the basic D2 is the same as for the basic Z1 (basic=without any added devices like bluetooth/iPod. etc.).
If you have Monsoon, it should be the same as mine. You have an adapter of some type to fit in between the radio and the factory connectors, you need a vehicle speed sensor wire; however, you will not need the Z1 module I used to bypass the lockout features of the AVIC Z1.
If you have a Monsoon, you will have the same number of outputs and inputs required.
The only differences between a D2 and the Z1 are the larger screen, hard drive and other features.

Thanks F5,
Just recieved the unit and inspected the wiring. The D2 looks standard wondering how to best interface to the GM connectors 1&2.
WHERE IS THE REVERSE LEAD CONNECTION PIN?
On Wire connections in general, not to concerned regarding speaker connections but others seem a mix bag of ways...
Solder?
Splice?
Pig Tail?
Pin direct to connectors.
Or did you have a kit connector
Not planning on tearing it up till next weekend so no rush on answer
