Pioneer
DEH-P5100UB

I currently have a Pioneer DEH-4900 with the Ipod connect even though someone stole my ipod cord... I have the 4 year best buy extended warranty and my 4 years will be up in may so i know of a way to get a new head unit... Warranty is sweet glory.... Sometimes the face cuts off and sometime it wont let me control volume. Now they say they will repair or replace so i will also be throwing in the whole it scratches my cds thing (which i know they cant fix so they will give me a credit = to what i paid for the radio and a credit for the remainder of the warranty...

So its upgrade time and i was wondering what people thought of that radio

 

Save up and just go double din. You'll thank yourself later.

 

Will the double dins fit perfect without modification

Ive thought about something like This cause i really dont have a use for a dvd nav system

 

Very very minor trimming to the bezel and they fit like a glove. I thought about it this way. Why spend money on a couple different single dins when they stop working or I quit liking them, when I could just save longer and spend the money up front and get something that I really want(ed). Didn't you get your nav stolen along with some of the other things?

 

Yeah... My gf felt bad cause it was in her driveway so she bought me a new nav for Christmas... I have my ipod nano from before the ipod classic i had but cant use it in the ranger cause the ipod connect cord was stolen...

 

you should go for this kenwood head unit I love it Kenwood Excelon KDC-X693 CD receiver at Crutchfield Signature

 

So what has to be trimmed up and how do the double din radios mount in the dash...

Pics of someones install in depth would be great

 

Look up the how-to on here Ben. The pieces you have to trim are two lips on the bezel. One at the top of the radio opening and one at the bottom of it. Takes maybe ~5 minutes to do the trimming and about another 5 to put in the headunit. Wiring the harnesses may take about 20-30 minutes.

 

I just had my head unit stolen bought the replacement but can't remember the "Metra" kit number to use? Old and new units are Kenwood old DDX6019 new DDX714. Anyone know the kit number. Both units double din.
Yea, yea yea I know but did a search thats how I got to this post.

Thanks in advance!

 

Can someone explain the difference between a double din and a single din.

I read threads like this and have no idea what I am reading.

A single din is the standard size of a head unit, and a double din is twice as large. Double dins are good for vehicles that have large stock head units like the Ranger.
