looks dope I just got the same head unit for my truck havnt started to mod the dash yet . i am still working on glassing up a sub box and amp rack for behind the rear seat in my mega cab. About three more days any I get to play with the bezel. I was gonna put my GPS ant. as far forward on the dash centered. How does yours work in that location? Did you hook up the reverse wire and the speed sensor wire? Also did you do the bypass ?

I have the same radio as well. and I hooked up the reverse wire and speed sensor wire. The bypass was very simple here is the writeup I used, http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19689

na i didnt use the reverse wire or the speed sensor wire. that location is excellent, its been about four months now and not a single problem. i would recommend that spot for the ant. and yes bypass is a must, it would suck not being able to use navi features with out the bypass. lets see some pics when you start/finish your mod.

Nice work. Wire mod works as well as changing the file name in a subfolder. Did you update that to version 2.0 directly from Pioneers website? I had to update mine when I got it. Super slow. Now it's great.

Metra radio brackets prob wouldn't work as he has specials dimensions that would otherwise be a bit diff than getting A factory bezel. Chrysler make the double din bezel for 06+. I paid $130

man its really simple. there is a screw right above the hook on the right side of the bezel. just unscrew it and pull that hook to unlatch the clips. if you have never pulled off any plastic on a car b4 you may think that its going to break. dont worry, its very durable plastic and wont break.
