I also have the Pioneer 3200BT dvd unit also. Its amazing. Bought from crutchfield and installed myself. It was really easy to install. Crutchfields instructions are spot on. I wired up a bypass switch via youtube instructions. Got the parts from radio shack. Really simple, go for it dude.

I went with the Pioneer X920BT and wiring harness from Crutchfield. After going on line with an advisor who was awesome and helped with all the products and wiring required, he realized I was from Canada. He then got all the Canadian equivelant part numbers and e-mailed me the list.
All was awesome. I had some concerns with the Wiring Harness but after one quick call to their service guys, that was easily completed. I did NOT do the bypasss as many have done. Also, I do NOT have the popping that many are talking about so I did not put in the resistor.
You can also check out AVIC411.com for advice on Pioneer products, recalls, tips and tricks and install videos.
Good luck.

I put in a Pioneer p4200DVD and I absolutely love it. I did the install myself, along with the relay bypass for the DVD player and the regulator to keep the factory amp from popping when it's powered up. The unit fit perfectly and it looks like it came from the factory. I ran the iPod cable under the stack and into the console. The unit made the factory speakers sound way better. If I were you, I would give the aftermarket head unit a chance to power the factory speakers before you swap out the speakers. I had a 20% off Pioneer coupon from Amazon, then found the 4200DVD in the Gold Box deals, so I ended up getting it for about $295. It's also upgradeable with bluetooth, nav, and satellite radio.

I have my eye on the pioneer 4200dvd. Its a full 7 inch touch screen. has ipod capabilities, and plays dvds, mp3s, has a spot for an sd card. The thing is pretty awesome. and for under 300 bucks? Thats insane. Im thinking of getting a factory refurb for a little over 300. Cant wait!

I have been dealing with them for almost
20 years doing purchases and installs for friends
and Crutchfield has not let me down once.
Their return policy is the best as well...
