    No, not unless your nav unit has a video out provision.

    To retain the steering wheel controls you'll need one of theses:

    Pac Audio - SWI-X

    Pac Audio - SWI-RC

    So,there is no need for the aftermarket wire harness???The one in the box is all I need except for the speaker harness you state???No need for an antenna adapter???doesn't the FD1330B have a split dash surround???How about the metra 95-5817??? I've been looking at these new android units...They play all the apps on my phone...Your thoughts???

    When you setup your steering wheel controls make sure you do it with your parking lights ON. Because of the resistance I had to dim my gauges very low at night to get the steering wheel controls to work. Was annoying as hell and I wasn't motivated enough to pull the whole dash apart to fix it.

    "So,there is no need for the aftermarket wire harness???The one in the box is all I need except for the speaker harness you state???"
    The aftermarket harness connects the harness from the radio (power, ground and speakers) to the factory connector. You can always splice the wires but the aftermarket connector and harness makes the unit plug 'n' play. Much cleaner look and easier to disconnect if needed. For the extra few bucks it's worth it. I can solder the connections for you, just pay for return shipping.

    "No need for an antenna adapter???"
    Unless the radio takes a smaller diameter antenna plug there is no need for an antenna adapter.

    "doesn't the FD1330B have a split dash surround???"
    I have no idea what a split dash surround is. This is what the FD1330B looks like: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Scosche-19...N-Kit/10752395
    If you or the installer doesn't know how it works, take it somewhere else.


    "How about the metra 95-5817???"
    I prefer the Scosche FD1330B to the Metra 95-5817, but both will work.

    "I've been looking at these new android units...They play all the apps on my phone...Your thoughts???"
    I have a Pioneer AVIC-X940BT (http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PU...on/AVIC-X940BT). It does everything I need. I have no experience with any of the newer Android units.

    I never had that problem with the Axxess interface.

    The faceplate is for a single or double DIN headunit. You just cut the bar out for a double DIN.

    Getting my Kenwood DDX393 installed Thursday. First stereo install I'm not doing myself. Kinda nervous. All my past installs have been bolt in deals. This modifying the dash has got me worried.

    It's a nothing deal. Seriously, I scored it with a simple razor knife as I was too lazy to grab my mini air saw.

    Very minor modifications needed. Easily done.
