So Im toying with the idea of upgrading my head unit to the Pioneer x930bt. I currently have the F700BT installed and my question is this: Can I just pull out the 700 and install the 930? Are the harnesses the same? Are the steering wheel controls the same? If not anyone know what harnesses I will need and what steering wheel control is compatible with this new HU. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!!

it all should be very similar if not the same, the harness that plugs into the back of the unit might be different, but you can just cut and re splice the wires and it will work. You may or may not have to reprogram the steering wheel harness again.

it looks the same but you should always check regardless of what anyone tells you

ya ive seen a few older jvc's with the same issue. lol one of the guys at the shop jokingly said the designers make a bunch of frivolous changes just to do say they did anything at all
