that is scosche website... you can call them and ask them anything you want, also Best Buy has all of their stuff, if they dont have it in stock they can order it, i say best buy is your best bet, they will take care of you, and have it ordered with no shipping fee, if its the wrong one, they will change it no worries, cause it was their fault... i work there thats how i know, they will have the harness that you need as well, hope thats what you needed

sorry for so many questions. I have read several pages about this but nobody ever got specific with the harness. its its common knowledge when you install a radio before. this is my first install.

Thanks agian.

all of the wires from the harness must be connected to other wires some how... soldering is probablly the best route, but you can just use connectors and crimp them together

I would lean towards the metra harness and dash kit. I have read here, the metra dashkit seems to fit better.

I would check with Crutchfield......I ordered my dashkit directly from Metra. But,I am sure Crutchfield will have them.

If you buy from crutchfield they give you everything you need...Harness, dash kit, they might still be giving a way a free rear view camera with it. I paid 9999.00 total.

i called best buy and they said i dont need a dash kit since its alreadya double din size. that the pioneer already comes with a trim plate and i just use that? is that true? i thought otherwise.

thanks

i think you need dash kit, the trim piece that came with mine was just a rectangular plate to go around the outside of unit.
