[sn1p3r845]

haha yeah my car is at visions because my alarm screwed up when i installed my s-techs, so their fixing it..

ill do it today or tomorrow for sure :D

[ymboc]

I hope for your sake pioneer fixed the (firmware) issues that had so many people in the avic411 forums upset with those units when they first came out... I was going to get that unit myself until I came across those forums and ended up getting a Kenwood DNX5120 instead (it's not perfect either fwiw).

Edit/PS: I found the scosche wiring harness connector at Walmart for less than I was able to find at local audio shops & on ebay. I ended up buying the scosche Double-Din Faceplate/Sides off of ebay however because my Kenwood didn't come with a good one.

yes you will need my super duper secret custom wiring harness!! And in order to get that you need to send me that HU so i can custom make it and test it in my celi :gap::gap::gap:

[sn1p3r845]

._.

yea i dnt think you should take to a shop because they will give you **** like, oh why didnt you buy frm us and blah blah blah, and the charge will be ridiculous...

[TCgts]

I put my panisonic one in myself, not hard at all. All you need is the wire harness for your car(you have to buy from a store $20) Just match color to color its pretty simple and then there was just plastic things that screw into the sides (like $15) to fill in the gaps it leaves, then your set. I wouldn't pay a store to do it they'll charge too much.

His is a Navi, don't forget speed sense and reverse wire in your gauge cluster if you want a complete install.

[TCgts]

^^ Well yeah i don't think it comes with a camera.

[celi01]

only a year or two.... no big deal.... :D

[T3HKMAN]

:confused: Don't understand your statement what does it not having a camera have to do with what I said?

[sn1p3r845]

Yeah my friend and I are gunna tackel this tonight. I bought the wire harness and what not, I should be set.

This one does NOT come with a camera, nor do i want one *yet*, maybe when i turn 70 and can't look behind me or use my mirrors i might pick one up :D

as far as the unit goes, will it fit in the stock dimensions or do i need some sort of kit to keep it in place? like i said there are no bolts or anything on the top and bottom of it, just the screws for the side..

[sn1p3r845]

Hey

I just got one of these units, I have a question for starters.

There is only the unit, and doesn't have the bolts on the top and bottom of it like the stock one has.. They have the holes on the side of it to screw it in, but screw it into what? Do i need to buy a kit like I had to for my deck?

[TCgts]

^^ Well for mine there was a plastic thing to buy because there was gaps on either side, when you go get your car back just ask the guys there.

well im ****ed.

i didnt think of asking about it when i was at visions, and im installing tonight with hepting.

[TCgts]

^^ well he will know what he is doing you shouldnt have a problem. But you might need that plastic thing. You don't live far from visions just go there or give them a call so you can finish it tonight.

[Joey03_VVT-I]

Awesome! Good shiit! :thumbup:

The reverse wire in Pioneer headunits actually has two purposes; one is to aid in navigation accuracy and the other would be for a camera so your assumption is very logical. ;)

[lamboceliGTS]

When I put a TV in my old car you had to cut the reverse wire or something to allow the tv to play while moving pita.

[T3HKMAN]

Then all you need are the factory radio brackets and those side pieces. Should come out looking like everyone elses double din.

[WakeRider]

Where can i purchase that item you just linked tehkman???
that page didnt have a purchase option unless i completely missed it?

[TCgts]

^ really what went wrong? Its pretty expensive to get them to do it, im thinking like over 100 cause i asked them when i bought mine.

[fatboys2zz]

hope you didnt fvck anything up;

[celicabmad]

You ground it to something other than the ebrake.

going to visions tomorrow lol.

If you have the premium 8 speaker system then you need an amp bypass, but if you have the 6 speaker system it should be a direct swap with a wiring harness.

haha thats fine. i dont care.

we were kinda trying, then we got confused and didnt wanna **** anything up so we just packed her in haha

100-150$ for install is fine.

Like others have said ebay or just google search the part and plenty of shopping alternatives should come up.

The only thing that should've given you trouble is the speed source and reverse wire did you buy/have a standard 2 plug toyota harness when you tried to install? It's not that hard at all for the Celica with the standard audio system. Even for someone with little to no experience. You need any help let me know.
