Thread: Finally pulled the trigger on a new HU

Started 1 month ago by M3 Defector
It is really tough to find a decent looking aftermarket HU with the right features. I bought the Pioneer Premier DEH-P710BT. http://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/Ima...10BT-f_mt.j peg Not the look I was in search of, but I really needed something with high quality bluetooth that worked well with the iPhone.

How do you intend to get this installed? Will Crutchfield be able to provide you with the necessary plugs so that it's "plug and play"? Or will you need to hire someone to cut wires?

Please don't take it to BB. If you decide not to do it yourself, you might be able to find a Tweeter near you to do a quality install. When I lived in Charlotte the one at University did some really excellent work for me and a couple other friends

Here's a pic from the iPhone. I know the steering wheel remote isn't the coolest, but I like functionality and it fits the bill. Bluetooth audio and phone seem to work really well.

I think the SINGLE DIN may work. do you have Bose? If you do you will need a set of pins for the speaker level...

For the wire harness, call Rod Birch at http://www.caraudioinnovations.com/ . He supplied me a wire harness and radio antenna adaptor (which I still have in the package, if you need it). I also have photos of the harness, along with where each wire should be connected. My cab is also a 2000 with the "hi-fi" sound. I really need to post pics of my install... I've been saying this for over a month now.

Mabuhay, A 2004 is the MOST bus (03+), It wont just wire up like a 02 and older car. Do a search on MOST, there is plenty of info, you wont be happy.
