ohhhh, I was wondering.... I was going to move mine forward, but it was only 1 screw holding each side if I did that. Only thing is you can see a little bit of the side plates.

I've had this head unit for 3 months now and its awesome, except the bluetooth is giving me problems. It gets really distorted on both ends of the conversation. The bluetooth audio rocks though.

I love the Ipod features also.

I installed mine on the bottom cubby hole and just super glued the ring onto the radio relocation, which looks great.

I just got this deck too! I love it! How well the bluetooth works is pretty phone dependant. Thought it works pretty well on my old nokia 3650.

The trim bezel is great match for the Evo interior. I also spaced the HU forward with washers to get the bezel on.

all you need is a wiring harness, you can get them at any car stereo shop, best buy, circuit city, etc.

i bought the wiring harness from corcuit city, however its not a plug-n-play harness. it seems that i have to connect the pioneer harness on the circuit city harness which plugs directly on the factory mitsubishi harness...

Is there a pioneer-to-mitsubishi harness? i don't want to start tapping wires, plus the pioneer harness has RCA plugs for the speakers...

I guess tomorrow i ll go to a audio shop and pay the installation... I am pretty good with the engine compartment, but i suck with audio installations...

the factory harness pretty much lines up color for color with the pioneer harness. double check the wires, solder them together and your good to go. super easy install. you only use the RCA's if you have an amp
