Did this yesterday afternoon on my 2003 NP.
Entry level Pioneer that Super Cheap matched JB HiFi on price.
$377.

Started 4:00pm.
Job done at 10 past 5.

Did need to notch the frame with the Dremel.

Pioneer AVH-275BT.

Bluetooth phone & audio.
Plays DVDs........

Most importantly Pink Floyd Concert DVDs.

Streams from USB or phone for both Audio & Video.
Supports a reversing camera & steering controls.

Was just a good value upgrade at under 400 bucks.

Forgot to add, the final touches involved 3 stitches to my left index finger...

Lol. But, most importantly, you can play your Pink Floyd Concert DVDs...... If you were playing Black Sabbath etc, I'd understand the (blood) sacrifice

$377 + medical fees

Just joking, what bit you, the dremal or the notch out edge....?

Catch with this unit was the black plastic frame that goes around the face of the unit to fill the gap was about 7mm too narrow.
No way it would fit.

Had to take a 3mm strip out of each side for it to fit over the head unit.
Long cuts down either side & then notch out the remaining strip.

That last 3mm cut with the fresh Stanley knife blade, a slight slip & somehow my middle finger ends up between the blade & the chopping board.

Straight down to the bone.....
Fortunately the hospital is only 800m up the road.

So no manifold cleaning this week.

Few observations in hind sight.

The Pioneer to ISO cable didn't have the dash light wire connected.
No hand brake or reverse wire present in the Pioneer end of the ISO harness.

Easily resolved by using a jewellers screwdriver to remove these wires from the wiring harness that was supplied with the head unit & push them into the Pioneer plug on the ISO harness.

Did find connecting the dash light wire useless as it dimmed the display during daytime when driving with the park lights on.

That function could be disabled in the head unit.

Just can't find the post here that shows where the Red / Green reverse wire is located under the centre console......

Cheers.
