Pioneer AVH-3200 - need a dash kit?

370z2k10 · 01-13-2011, 06:57 PM

A question for those who have installed the Pioneer AVH-3200 to replace their non bose factory set-up.

Did anyone need a dask kit or is it a clean, stock looking install with just the head unit attached to the factory bracket (just swapping head units)?

Kit needed:

Pioneers YES

Kenwoods MAYBE

What kit...a metra?

i had a base radio, and i currently have a pioneer x920bt. i considered purchasing a dash kit, but after fitting it in with the stock dash i actually dont mind the minor gap. it looks bad in pictures thanks to the flash lighting it up, but in person i actually dont see it as a problem. saved myself 40bucks there too

Chops, did it mount right to your factory bracket?

Mounts right to the bracket and yes either the metra or the other one will do they will get rid of the gap.

I'm starting the install right now...Pioneer AVH 3200head unit, polk db5501's and a metra axxess controller (looks like the hardest part)

Wish me luck!

Ok, got everything apart (PITA!)

How do I identify the audio output wires from the factory wiring harness that lead to the female part of the door molex?

Do I need to cut these from the female part of the door molex to hook into the input on my crossover?

I'm stuck...Help!?

And how the *&^$&%^#$&# do you run the new speaker wire through the door molex?? It gets caught on the rubber housing, I can't get more than about three inches through.

Holy crap this is frustrating.

Watch SlikNik's video located in the Audio section (see install video sticky)

Did that, but thanks, I figured it out

noob question, you won't need a small amp to power the speakers?

kenchan · 01-18-2011, 11:44 AM

? the HU has an internal amp so you can use that, or use the line-outs and use an external amp to power your speakers. for the most part, i think most people will be happy with just using the HU's amp unless you're a stereophile kinda guy for cars.
