Hello everyone,
I've finally decided to replace the stock head unit in my car with a Bluetooth Head unit. I did some research and have decided on the Pioneer MVH-X370BT head unit. ($90 on amazon, has great reviews, and is great for the price... I'm a cheapo... haha) I really don't want to cut and splice wires, so I started looking around for a pigtail connector for the head unit. I came across a company called "Metra" who sells pigtail connectors for the stock wiring harness. I believe the Metra PN: 70-1720 connector is what I need, but would love some verification from someone who has done something of this nature before.
Now here's where I get a little lost...
The head unit is listed as a "Single-DIN" or "Full-DIN" head unit. To my understanding, this means the physical dimensions of the head unit is approximately 7" wide and 2" tall. So the head unit should fit into the open slot after removing the stock head unit. (Is this correct?) I would like a clean look to my center console, but I'm having trouble hunting down the correct dash faceplate/kit to give it that "clean" look.
Anyone have any suggestions? Questions? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks everyone!
Dave
