AVIC F90BT install

I just installed a Pioneer AVIC F90BT nav in my Smart.

I didn't really do the install, it was done by Jason of AVIC411.com He's a friend of my son and is an authority on Pioneer AVIC nav units. His website is the place to go for info on the Pioneer navs.

I ordered a double DIN bezel, a wiring harness, and an antenna adapter from Cruchfield. Other than some crimp connectors, the kit was all we needed. Tool wise he used a Torx 25 bit and a crimper. The installation took about an hour and it worked perfectly when we turned it on.

I was able to download this custom Smart splash screen off the avic411.com forums.

The AVIC unit is amazing. It pairs up with my iPhone via bluetooth, it can access music, playlists and even play videos. I'm still learning the navigation features. We're working on an installation video and some photos.

Can you access your iPhone's music library via Bluetooth? That'd be nice.

Not in this model. My playlists, songs and movies show up when it's plugged into the cable. I have it in the glovebox. It does charge the iphone when connected.

The phone works via bluetooth whether it's plugged in or in my pocket. It allows me to load my contacts which are accessible on the screen for making calls.

The avic411.com forums would have more information.
