Pioneer Double-DIN Head Unit Install (w/pics)
Well yesterday all my shipments arrived for my new head unit.. Pioneer AVH-P3100DVD (http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PU...s/AVH-P3100DVD)
Since I haven't had any experience installing a stereo, I had a buddy of mine help me out this afternoon. I bought the stereo from Amazon for $287, as well as the iPod cable for $45. I bought the Metra Double DIN kit and wiring harness from eBay (thanks SodiumDuck for the link!). Alright on to the pictures (there is a lot but I tried to go through each process). Sorry in advance for the crappy quality of pictures, it was taken from my phone. Here is the box that arrived: First things first, gotta take apart the dash: Here is my friend Tino who helped me install it. We did it at his fire station since they had tools :) They got fluorescent yellow fire trucks! haha I had all the doors and hood open: Disconnect the negative battery cable: Here is the stock HU: The cables left behind from the stock HU: Here is the wiring harness: And the wiring process: The new beautiful HU : Connect it up to make sure it's working and that we did it right: And it does!! We had to install a switch to bypass the "safety" feature: It's pretty much invisible: Gotta put on the Metra spacers: Screw it back in: Put the rest of the dash back together: And turn her on!!!! oh yeah, gotta love the background : Needless to say, I LOVE IT! my favorite purchase so far! comment please |
