    Replacement Decks

    So after constantly screwing with the settings on my AMP sub I've come to realize the factory ford deck does funky stuff that I can't stand. Like screwing with the low frequency levels at different volumes.

    I'm looking for a 2 DIN Video screen deck. Touch screen and that has steering wheel controls. Would prefer DVD but not required. Also would like to use a steering wheel control interface. Pioneers look to be a good bang for the buck. Do they provide enough juice for inside speakers?

    Not looking to spend that much. 200-400 range max. I don't need nav, and I don't need blue tooth either. My phone does all that already.

    What adapter did you buy for the pioneer?

    You'll need to by the PAC steering wheel control interface ( SWI-PS )

    Look at Pioneer's AVHX series of double din, most are in the price range you are looking for.

    The AVHX4600BT is a nice unit and offers a 7" screen, plus it's expandable.

    I've got the X740BT (no DVD) and love the sound. The one thing that grinds my ass is the beeping every time you touch a button on it or the steering controls. You can silence out the nav functions, but nothing else.

    PM Pops for a damn good deal. He can set you up with just about anything you want, he may even have last years model with current updates like he sold me.

    I have the PAC interface unit.

    With BT in the headunit you can play your phone thru the hu. There are alot of Android apps for the Pioneer units.

    This one looks great.

    Bluetooth doesn't matter to me. I'll have the phone plugged in all the time. Plus, I prefer using my headset. Bluetooth audio through cars without headsets are horrible for the person on the other end, especially when I'm doing business.

    I LOVE that it will emulate the navigation map onto the screen. That will be a nice tool when I'm showing homes.

    I currently have a little mount for my iphone on the matrix strip. Works well but I'd like to get rid of it.

    I've been looking at the Pioneer AVH-X4500BT. If anyone has any comments on it, I'd love to hear them

    Replacement Decks

    I installed the Pioneer AVH-P3400BH. Touch screen, blue tooth, pandora, DVD, steering wheel controls, USB, can connect to iPhone to use certain apps and watch Youtube or Netflix. etc. All good stuff. AM reception sucks.

    Can get for about $300, but will need harness, steering control adaptor, etc.

    Let me add my 2 cents. If you use a deck with a dedicated sub out you will have a much better sound with the OE sub box. Metra makes the wire harness to use it BUT.... have the installer play with resistors on the amp turn-on lead to prevent the pop you'll get. A resistor will make a soft turn-on and not be so alarming when you turn the car on. Also, because of the speed-sensitive volume, the VSS wire is in the radio harness (gray/black) if you get Navigation. Also, the steering wheel control wire is in the harness too. It is light blue/red and there are TWO. One is for radio illumination and if you want to test it, it will only dim the radio if the sunload sensor (top of the dash) is covered.

    Upgrade the sub if you haven't already. I prefer the Basslink.
