Re: Radio recommendations

So you just had to mod the dash kit. And not do anything else to get it to fit?

you have to clearance the vent behind the radio.. easy to do with a heat gun and a hammer to push it back.

Re: Radio recommendations

I would do that. That would be fine.

Re: Radio recommendations

Pioneer makes several media controller single DIN decks that will fit in flush without any changes to the ducts. They don't have cd players though. Very versatile control of media inputs. MVH-X370BT and MVH-X380BT. The MVH-X560BT may also fit, but I haven't tried one yet. They are called short chassis radios.

Re: Radio recommendations

someone here is making a double DIN radio bezel and he uses a full android knock off that looks promising.

I have a Pioneer AVH-2700BH double DIN DVD in my current daily and happy with its Bluetooh and media features. the Pioneer apps and CarRadio are crap to be honest.

And I use Crutchfields for all my gear.
They are super helpful, great support and return options and you get almost all of the install accessories for free or half the cost of local shops.

Re: Radio recommendations

Went with pioneer and a new radio install kit. The install kit is more flush than what I had. Here are some pictures.

Re: Radio recommendations

The new radio looks nice. Glad it fixed your noise. Is that a shallow mount unit like mentioned above?

Re: Radio recommendations

That looks very good. Do you have a link to the new kit? I ended up ordering a Sony. I haven't received it yet.

Re: Radio recommendations

The Pioneer one I run is older but is the correct 1.5 din, and with the I-Pod adapter CB-100(?) works well.

Not really sure if you can find a new one, but might be worth a look if you want a 1.5 din.

I found a few on eBay here:

Re: Radio recommendations

Very nice install:tup: I just installed one yesterday in my Sy. I went with the Alpine 9886 model. This model I can say has been my favorite for years (I've owned 5) because it has an ipod cable from the back of the unit that charges you ipod and also lets you control it through the unit. Great sound to. I'm sure everyone has their prefference but over all...looks good.

Re: Radio recommendations

I started on my install. Had to use a heat gun of the plastic vents to get clearance. All I need to do now is wire it up. I bought a plug that connects to the old radio plugs. But three of the wire I am not sure were they go and I need to get the truck wire diagram to see what I need to do with them.
