Please note: Pictures where taken with my iPhone!

As promised here is my $1400 plus Touch Screen Pioneer Avic-Z2 on my 2000 Jag. Took me forever to find the harness but I found it at crutchfield.com. Here is the link for that harness if anyone needs one.

A friend of mine and I installed this beauty. Harness cost me $12.99 plus S/H. So I saved some money on the install. Lol.

I have it connected to a bluetooth adapter, Pioneer Mic and Ipod adapter (a must). All cables are hidden and I managed to pass the ipod adapter thru the valet parking inside the glove department. The above pictures is how it looks like. I''m in love with it. Best thing of the whole car I would say. Navigation is GREAT, DVD plays nice, Ipod loving it, etc.
If you guys have upgraded to a double din stereo''s posted up here and let us know you experience, how much for install, likes or dis-likes, etc. You have any questions hit me up.

PS. Does anyone know where to make a custom kit for my Jaguar 2000 S Type V6. As you can see in the pictures there are gaps which I can live by but it would be nice to find a website or someone that makes custom kits for cars.

Thanks in advance Jag Fans!

Do your steering wheel volume controls still work? I have factory Nav on my V8, but Have wanted to upgrade the head unit for a while.

I''m interested in how you got the top let corner fascia to attach to the head unit. The stocker has the two little holes that hold it against the spring and mine flopped around and didn''t stay until I modded the face plate.

Ever think about cutting out some wood and making something like that, just for cosmetics sake? Looks good though!

If you want to keep steering wheel controls you need a PAC SWI-PS Interface which is a small box that plugs into the back of many mainstream brand of head units and you connect a couple wires or less to a wire/s under your ignition. It''s pretty easy and instructions come with the interface.

BTW for the future of anyone that has the older s-type''s the harness can be had from walmart for around 8 bucks. It''s a very basic ford harness!

Does the harness have S type listed on it or do I need to look for a specific Ford model harness that will work on my 2000 S type? Thanks

I think this is it..Metra Electronics Corp. - 70-1770..from everything I''ve seen the harness for your s-type is the same as the one I used in my 94 f150. It is a 2 flat rectangular connectors, one is black one is gray. I''d go to walmart and look at the schosche one''s that look like this...you''ll only pay like 6 or 7 bucks for it.

A standard Ford Focus harness is what they guys used to do my DNX7120.
