New stereo, install help/advice needed
Hey Guys,
I have a birthday coming up and my GF said she'd buy me a new radio. We stopped in Best Buy the other day and I saw this one I liked: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_32848_Pioneer-AVH-P2300DVD.html?utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=organi c&utm_campaign=froogle I've read up on it and it seems to get pretty good reviews, especially for the price. Here's where i need help. What else do I need to install this? Will this work for the dash conversion? http://www.ebay.com/itm/97-02-PORSCHE-986-BOXSTER-DOUBLE-DIN-INSTALLATION-KIT-/220726796582 I'm guessing that should be about it. Let me know your thoughts before I order everything. Thanks |
Yup, all you need is the double din deck and the double din kit and a little bit of time and you'll be set. You will also have to cut/trim/dremel out the center part of the radio surround piece to fit the new double din cage (super easy).

Also, if you are keen on having the DVD playing while the car is in motion (which is illegal in some states) you will need a standard 12v relay and some extra wire. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDGZEZrUdRo Have fun! It's a great project to do. I installed the P3300BT in my 02 Boxster in a hour or two. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y22...x/IMG_0367.jpg Cheers Mark |
Temp controls up top.
I have the temp controls up top and then the CD magazine on the bottom. Can the temp controls be easily moved down - or is this just to much trouble?
btw - the MOST bus is supposed to be a standard - why then are their no aftermarket head units? I would think somebody in china would be knocking these off. |

My AC controls were already down there underneath the CD holders. Above my radio were cup holders. I replaced the CD holder with a pocket and ditched the cup holders. Cheers Mark |
touchscreens with the top down
Guys - can these touchscreens be seen with the top down in full sun?
