Hey all, I have an '02 f250 with the factory 6 disc stereo in it. The face measures 7 1/2" wide X 4" tall, not sure of the debth? Any advice on an after market stero? I'd like to put in a touch screen/DVD/MP3/ Ect. Anyone know what dementions of stereo I need for a good clean fit and finish? I sure appreciate it!!!!

 

A DDIN unit will fit, but you'll have to modify the dash face to get it in there. I put a Kenwood DNX7100 in my truck, and it's a 7" screen DVD/Nav unit.

To make it fit, you'll have to cut out the lip that sits behind the stock stereo. When you pull out the stereo and look at the top and bottom of the hole in the dash, you'll see that lip. You don't need to cut out the sides, just trim the top and bottom enough so that a DDIN unit can fit. It took me about 10 minutes with a dremel tool to cut that lip off. That lip is hidden behind the radio dash plate adapter, so you won't see it.

 

Thanks Curtis, I appreciate it!!!!!!!!

 

I have always been a fan of pioneer for head units. Just have always liked they way they sound. DDIN is the way to go though.

 

OK, here's another silly question------ What's a DDIN???? LOL>>> No really, I don't know what it is.

 

ISO 7736 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There ya go

 

Just can't make it easy for me can ya.........

 

ddin stands for double din IE the pioner model AVH-P3200BT is double din
Product Height
4-1/8"
Width 7"
where as a regular head unit is
Product Height
2"

Width 7"

 

I am currently looking into buying a new head unit, and i was planning on going with pioneer. but I don't want a DDIN Due to the fact its so easy to break into the fords, and My cousin had one stolen out of the same truck as mine. Eh' Its Houston... Love it or hate it so i dont want the screen just sitting there begging to be stolen, But doesnt anyone have any suggestions on a flip out screen?...

 

I have a clarion that i love and it fits very well...





You can see in these pics the little bit that had to be trimmed...





Heres my thread about it...

Again, I appreciate all the in-put!!!!!!

 

Guys I need real help I installed a Kenwood DNX7100 in my 03 Explorer W/premium sound and there is three things I need desperate help with.

1st The 12v to 5v inverter I have has three wires Black, Blue and White, and a Blue and Red. What do I hook those wires to on the head unit and the plug with the two RCA jacks on it? I have them going to Black-Ground, Blue/White-Blue/White in plug W/RCA jacks and from head, Blue/Red-Ext.Amp.Cont

2nd When I turn the car off then back on the display, displays the Call screen instead of turning to Ipod because that's what the unit was playing when the unit was turned off. I have the Bluetooth module and hooked the brown wire to the Black ground on the wiring harness. But I don't think that's what is causing that and the unit remembers all the sound changes I've made.

3rd my ash lights are no longer working/ I wouldn't thing that anything at the two plugs for the stereo would cause that

PLEASE NEED HELP BAD!!!!!!

 

Crutchfield has everything you need for installation. Looks like yours would take this Metra 70-5517 harness. Match color to color then plug and play.

 

Have the stereo in but needed someone to help me with my wiring on inverter , please look above 4 wires and stereo, when I start car I get a loud pop. Think my Blue-Red wire is in wrong place, but don't know what to hook it to.

Also need to know why my Kenwood Dnx7100 Displays the Call screen when I turn on SUV no matter what screen and function is being used when I turn the SUV off?
