Just installed a Pioneer DEH-P7800 + XM Tuner + iPOD interface. The headunit install was a breeze, except for the positioning of the stock radio bracket. Had to drill a secondary hole about 10mm to toward the front of the car so that the trim ring would fit behind the center console bezel. A little bit of extra work, but it paid off. No visible gaps. XM Tuner and iPOD interface were mounted under the seat.

 

Looks good...I just installed my Alpine 9856 and Ipod this evening....Amazing what a difference it makes. Congrats

 

Looks nice! Suprise you didn't do the radio/gauge swap.

 

Thank ya, thank ya... Yeah, it does make a difference, which is surprising because upgraded headunit + stock speakers = usually pretty muddy. I laid down RCA's for amps for expansion of the system later. Regardless, so much better to sit in the car... to have 4 sources of music and entertainment. It rules! I didn't do the radio / gauge swap cuz I'm saving the cubby hole for boost controller (EVC) and A/F knock amp.

 

no double din? looks good though.

 

Ahh ok...Nice planning ahead!

 

Purge It: Looks good! How many outputs does that unit have?



I did the same for Mrs. LayinLo for Christmas. She likes it.

 

did the ipod interface come with the cd player? if not, where'd you get it? I'm just running rca jacks from my ipod right now.

 

LayinLo: 3 sets - front, rear, non-fading sub

Assassin: No, it's a module you have to purchase separately

 

where'd you get it? and how much was it?

Nice head unit ! I've been looking into getting a new one for the Evo as well some speakers . I really like the new Pioneer stuff ! I bought my wife a Pioneer 580MPH and damn it's nice !

 

Best Buy...~$20

 

+1 You should really swap. I like mine so much better that way. It's really easy to do. Also, if you take it apart, you should move the boost guage over to the left-most spot on the pack as well.

 

Cool, I just got the DEH-P9800BT but have'nt installed it yet. Nice to know it's going to look that good.
