Hey Masa,

I found these for less online than what Crutchfield sells it for. They include all the mounting hardware. Would I need any of that or just what comes in the box with the deck? I know I need a wiring harness and antenna adapter, no issue. But what about a bezel and such?

Thanks

Masa

All you really need is what comes in the box - I didn't even need to use bezel that came with the unit. I bought mine off Amazon and just got the Scoche wiring harness and antenna adapter from Best Buy for cheap. No additional dash kits or bezel/trim is needed.

I just bought this on Amazon for $399, no tax and $16 shipping to get it by Friday

So you used the factory dash kit? If I have this stock unit will I need a dash kit to install the Pioneer unit?:

Masa

You won't need ANYTHING to install the new unit except wiring harness adapter and antenna adapter which you buy separately.

The unit comes in the box with:
AVH-P4300DVD (unit itself)
Pioneer wiring harness (you splice this to vehicle harness -- I used Scoche)
Remote
Black bezel trim (did not need to use this at all - unit fits flush w/out it)
Mounting scews (you will need to use these as the factory torx screws are a different thread)
Black USB Cable extension (this cable I think was about 4ft (?) but since I decided to mount my iPhone in the center cubby I did not need the extra length and put it aside -- I have seen others route the USB cable into the center console so the plug connector comes out in the arm rest compartment by the cupholder)

Simply pop out the OEM unit and bolt in the new one in it's place - no modifications needed to fit.

I do recommend you pick up a 12v relay and splice the e-brake ground to that so you can access DVD/Nav/App mode while the car is in motion.

Awesome, greatly appreciate the info.

No prob! You will love the unit -- it is a great deal and screen size for the price.

Have you decided on aftermarket speakers yet? The stock ones don't do the HU any justice -- I ended up installing Polk DXi6500 components and it sounds worlds better.
