if you have an SSL your going to have to get an extra cable that costs like 20 bucks. lemme know i can link you to all the stuff and if you have any questions with the install i'd be more than happy to help! good luck, the AVIC Z2 is amazing btw

Hey OP how does your orbital fit, do you have a huge gap between the hvac piece and the dash.Mine also is really tight on the middle buttons they stick and the hvac stickers dont fit.Anyone else that has or has had the orbital kit can you give me your opinion on the fit and finish i hope i got a bunk kit.My as unbias as i can be opinion is a 4 out of 10 at best.I managed a car stereo shop for a while so i know the usual quality and its not always oem like.

i had the same problem. for the buttons u have to use a dremel to sand a notch behind the orbital kit where the hvac slides in to clear the plastic peice for the buttons. as far as the gap u have to do some sanding as well to where the mount screws go in.

I noticed on mine that I had to sand down the thicker plastic piece on the lower part. It was actually not the area near the buttons, but since it was a lil too thick it would put pressure on the buttons from underneath the entire HVAC unit causing the buttons to bind up.
