hey guys i used the search button and found some results but not too many but i just bought a pioneer p4000 and we bought the double din kit, and were about to buy the wiring kit, what else do we need and can someone tell me like a brief "how-to" on how to install this, or would it be best off to just have it done? my boyfriend is pretty good at installing things i just want a reassurance ya know??

thanks for your help!

 

make sure you got the corect harness and the antenna adapter too. But the 4000 isnt hard to install its almost like a normal radio. do you want it bypassed?

 

You have an 07 so you have a choice.
Do you want to loose your chimes (doors and turn signals) or not
If you don't mind loosing them then the cheap harness will do
Metra - 70-2202 ($15-$20)
If you want to keep the chimes then you need the expensive harness
Non- Pioneer stereo- Metra GMOS LAN 03 ($100-$150)
Pioneer Stereo, also retains Onstar- Metra GMOS LAN 04 ($100-$150+)

If you go with the cheaper harness you will have to do a fuse tap for the power wire, use the Sunroof or the windshield wipers fuse.

I think the Video bypass for the P4000 is moving the Mute wire up one spot in the harness but I can't remember for sure

 

thats for the D3... 4000 requires a switch

 

Oh yeah thats right, every different model of Pioneer has a different bypass so
Thats why I'm not going Pioneer.
Had my heart set on Eclipse but they have yet to come out with a double din with USB WTF is that come on guys get in the game.
Been looking at those Kenwoods though...they look nice dont want to spend $1500 though maybe the 7120, does that one still have 3 5volt preouts and navi on it

 

ya the 8120 has me hooked. at first i was half bummed because alot of things i wanted didnt work, example video off the USB but im slowly learning wtf is going on and how to work it and im liking it alot. ive also learned to use the stupid ass ipod

 

okay i'm having some problems with th?e wires mute, system remote control ACC and ILL, idk what to do with them! cAN anyone help asap!!!
