I am happy with the sound of my system, I'd just like to replace the HU. I'm looking at the eBay Euromotorspeed double-DIN kit and was wondering if anyone had any luck with the Pioneer AVH-P2400BT? I don't really care for the GPS to be built into the unit, as my portable Garmin is way more intuitive and user friendly, but I'd like all the other features with one of these type HU's.

I guess what I'm really trying to figure out is if the outputs on the Pioneer AVH-P2400BT will work with the Euromotorspeed wiring harness with my existing Bose AMP/speaker set up?

Thanks...

If you don't want nav, you could put in a single-DIN unit and most of the other features. It would be less expensive too.

I thought about it, but would kind of like to have the DVD/DivX video capability. Plus, you can usually put nice custom logos on the screen

What type of outputs, etc. should I be looking for on the HU to work with my existing system?

Anyone know if the Pioneer AVH-P2400BT will work?

I have the 3200bt .. works great ... double din also looks gd. Installer needed a wiring harness adapter which is a vw / audi part .. most shops will have that ... about $50 retail.....

Ok...ordered the 2400BT, the iPod cable, the euromotorspeed double-din kit, and the park-brake bypass...now if I can just find someone local to install it

Anyone know of a good installer in OKC?!?

Had everything installed today...WOW!!! It's mind-numbing

Only disappointment is with the iPod cable. It works great and all and I love the Pandora integration, I just wished that it connected through the back (like I thought it did). Apparently you have to move up to the 4400 to get the rear-connect aux/USB plugs. Oh well...it still kicks serious ***...I'm just glad I didn't have to replace the speakers, sub, & amp...$350 HU, $40 iPod cable, $10 parking brake-bypass, $210 fit kit and cubby, $150 install...very well worth it...

glad it worked. my local car stereo shop were kinda lost when it came to a 2 din hu. their books didnt have the harnesses or anything. ive seen the 2 din kit and all that comes with...so ill put them on to that.
so ya if you could post some pics that would be great. want to see what you did with the control panel too.
the parking brake bypass...is that neccessary? just looking into this and didnt know about that...?

Pics soon

The euromotorspeed guy includes a couple of nice finish pieces. One goes around the face of the double-din and the other is angled at the corners to let you move the ac panel down to the bottom. It looks really cherry. I'll try to get some pics up tomorrow. I'm just trying to get my background logo customized before I take pics
