Default 1st Stereo install

Everything turned out great. Love this head unit. No CD player but its got an Ipod Dock behind the faceplate. Sound quality is great (still tweaking) and I still have to install my 4 Pioneer speakers in the doors. Just stoked about the install and its success so had to share with someone.

Looks real clean. I have a double din to install but have been hesitant on cutting up the dash. I might just buy a single din. I like your look

It's a "leather" wrap around cover. Picked it up at walmart for $10. Took a little muscle to first get it on, however if you leave it in the sun it will make it easier.

Great! My wheel at 1 o'clock is worn down and I want to find a good wrap for it.

I don't think there is much in the way of a DDin unit, just a single metal brace if I remember correctly from when I installed my Single Din head unit last year. I know there is a couple of threads in here of folks that have done a DD install and it sounded rather simple.
