The following documents the install of a Pioneer F700BT Double DIN Radio/Navigation Unit into my 2006 CRD Limited.....

Image
First, we need to remove the front bezel and then remove some plastic and the metal support bracket for the original radio

Image
Next, I used my trusty die grinder with a cutoff disk installed and cutout some plastic that was in the way. I also used a small
hacksaw to cut what the die grinder could not.

Image
This is the end result..

Image
This is what I took out.

Image
Next, test fit the radio, all good !.

Image
Now I took some sheet aluminum I had laying around and created brackets for each side that bolted into the stock location.

Image
Next, I purchased a new bezel (so I could return to stock later) and using a small hacksaw and file cut out the exact shape
to fit the pioneer.

Image
Once that was done, I bought a small sheet of lexan from home depot and super glued some filler plates in since the original hole is much larger.

Image
After filling in with common bondo, there was plenty more sanding and filing to get a smooth surface and perfect fit.

Image
With the radio....

Image
Next, I picked up a Chrysler harness adapter and using shrink tube and soldered connections, I created a custom harness
the does not require cutting into the original factory harness. This harness also adds in the bypass as documented on the
AVIC411 forums.

Image
There is also an antenna adapter that I had to purchase, also shown is the Pioneer harness to add in an ipod, camera, etc..

That really looks nice, I have contemplated this one just a little hesitant on cutting up that bezel. Good Work.

What's securing the head unit in the compartment other than the 4 screws? I'd be concerned about movement off road.
