I have the N1 (same thing hardware wise I think) and I have an eclipse console in my... eclipse... in the top slot it just clears the shifter. I have a 5spd though. I would suggest steering away from it though. I have sent mine in for warranty repair on the screen twice and it still doesn't work correctly. I just sent in another Pioneer deck because it had a bad internal ground for the RCA's. I am never buying a pioneer product ever again. I am going back to Alpine. Just my .02 cents.
ahem jbi ahem
any way i agree with nykon. i will use anything from pioneer except in dash dvd. nav. or anything of that sort. and to add to what bad venge said about after market shifters, WHERE CAN I GET ONE FOR AN AUTO, everione that i have seen is only for a round shaft. ours is more oval and elongated.
good fellas do you have an auto or manual tranny.??
and last the eclipse center console is definately better for that type of application. yes its still close bet the venge is just ridiculous. also the trim around the radio and hvac in the venge has that lip abouve the radio oppening that sticks to far out.
