Help....how to fit/secure my pioneer double din head unit

Has anyone got a step by step guide with photo's if possible of how to fit a double din head unit please?

I have a Pioneer Avh-2600. Will the cage supplied with the unit fit behind the trim?

I've had a play and can't work out how to secure it behind the trim?

 

Cheers

Justin

Ive just installed a Pioneer SPH-DA120. I had to remove the cage that it came with and then the stereo would screw directly to the mounts on the centre console (I found it easier to remove the centre console from the car completely). You will also need a Facia for it :)

No worries, good luck with the install. If, like me, paitence is not a big part of your skill set :lol: try and take it easy and don't force anything - it's all brittle plastic. Be super careful with the ribbon out the back of the climate controls, it's delicate and important! If you have a magnet on a stick, it's handy for the inevitable dropped screw.

 

Post some pics up when you're done.

Stereo's now in properly and securely, you were right about having a long magnet to hand as I dropped the screws a lot! I found getting all the wires to fit behind was a real pain and I think I might have pinched one as now the steering wheel track skip button is struggling to go to the next track. I don't fancy taking it all apart again......but will probably have to........sometime......probably.

Glad you got it sorted(ish). If you do go in for round 2, I struggled to get mine back in due to wires being bunched up behind the HU. Ended up cable tying a lot of them deeper in/to the side, behind the recess and out of the way (after much swearing and trying to just jam the HU in) :lol:
