My wifes 05 SE does not have an ipod hookup so I am going to add a double din touch screen unit and just want to get an idea at how the install looks. I am not a fan of dashkits and the funny pockets they have so thats why I am looking at double in and not single.

Buzz... that tilt down feature is slick on the Kenwood, I wish my Pioneer did that. It would be nice to have some kind of small shroud avaiable for these setups. BTW, what model Nuvi is that? I was thinking of buying the 765t for mine....

The Garmin is the 755t. I had to modify the GPS mount in order for it to fit by switching out the base the GPS ships with and the base the mount comes with. I also hard wired the car adapter cable in the car in order to get the traffic updates.

I need your help guys.... I just install a pioneer AVH-P3200BT on my pathfinder 06 LE with bose, and there is a little gap ( very noticeable ) on the sides of the radio, and haven't been able to find a faceplate, dash kit, or radio kit, o whatever it is call...
I will appreciate your help thanks.

I got my clarion through Crutchfeild and it came with a nice suround that fills the gap nicely.....You might be able to get just the suround from them

I just installed my AVH-4200DVD yesterday. Real nice. Sounds better than the bose unit I originally had.

Some issues that I've ran into is that the metra dash kit does not fit so I have a gap running across the top of the unit. And my ipod controls are a bit delayed. Anyone have these issues?

I installed my pioneer 4300 dd stereo. Wish there was a dash kit for it. the cheap trim plate that came with the stereo falls off when you open it up to insert a dvd. Have gaps all around the stereo..looks like crap.
Wonder if this would work..

So how does Crutchfield's prices compare to Best Buy or another brick and mortar retailer?

Since owning this radio now for a couple months, I'd say it's okay. Lot's of things I don't like. Mostly the screen resolution, it sucks. Wish I'd of sent it back. Definitively not worth 350 bucks.

Just installed this Pioneer AVH-P2300DVD. installation was pretty easy. Used the Metra kit, could be cleaner but I am satisfied.

I was gonna post a pic but mine looks exactly like this save for two elements. I don't have the GPS unit above, and I have the DNX9980HD.

Somewhat else is required besides the unit itself. A dash kit and a wiring harness? Anyone care to post part numbers they ordered?
