im really looking for a diy kind of thing. im more than qualified to do it myself.

 

Buy a dash kit and wiring harness and go at it. Nothing special to it if you've done others which is sounds like you have.

alright, thanks. i just thought it would be harder seeing as the the cd player isnt part of the radio.

found a diy for a double din. for some reason i thought the cd player and buttons on the sides were not part of the radio. also, look at that diy makes me want to take it in to get it done.

 

Do you have a link to the DIY? It is all one unit on the 2001. You will need to get 4 keys to take the radio out. Install the dash kit, wiring harness and new stereo. Not much different than another dash kit install. I thought you were more than qualified? Come on... you can do it!!! If you run into problems then post up here. Also if anything goes wrong down the road or if you want to install an amp and sub down the road, you will know exactly how it is installed and won't have to take it in to get your future installs done. Just saying.

yeah, i read some more and it looks pretty easy. the only thing im worried about is the bose system since it has an amp. i wont be getting this car till the end of summer, my dad is actually giving it to me.

 

i recently bought a 1997, it came with a pioneer deck, but the speakers scracth when i put a bit loud and the speakers shut down.... someone told me maybe the bose system is 2 ohms and the pioneer deck doesnt match it.... im presently searching for some info or a DIY about head unit, so i can finally fix this.....

 

why do you needa diy head unit install when you already have it? dont you need a diy speakers?

either way, i didnt end up even getting my dads car because i moved to edmonton alberta instead.

 

Pioneer AVIC D3 was popular on the B5. It gave a very modest stock look with great features. I was planning to get Pioneer x710BT or something like that before, BUT i cant justify the price tag.
