Prior owner had an in-dash Pioneer DVD head unit installed, using a schoche dash kit for the install. Well the dash kit is crap, and isn't even holding/securing the pioneer at all.

I'm replacing the dash kit for the pioneer, and need to access it. I have heard from more than one person it involves removing the entire center console, cupholders and all to access the two screws holding the bezel in and such.

So its a actual screen? Double din? Its simple just remove the screw behind the "Hook" at the bottom right hand side of the dash. It should pull off after that, Theres four screws holding the Dash kit down, you dont have to take off cup holders or the middle console

He needs to buy a new OEM dash piece for trucks with Navigation.... thats whats up... btw Schoche is crap.

Buy Metra.. they are a little better quality, but all of them still require some hot glue here and there... ask me how I know.....

No, it's not the screen... It's the aftermarket dash kit for the stereo head.
It's not navigation.

I'm looking the Metra kit that fits the truck, I just need a little more guidance at to where this screw is that helps me get to the aftermarket radio to replace the crappy dash kit.
