Oh no offense to you! But, as you probably know, most don't...and we end up with info like here, as well as cars turned into wiring hack jobs.

A Dual double din screen...hmm...I've yet to see that yet. Intriguing, cheap brand (right?) and all. Which one is it?

[CadillacSTS2003]

Dual is the brand name
for the money you cant go wrong but dont expect the features and quality to be on par with that of Kenwood, Alpine or Eclipse....

Exactly what I remember from my research a while back, and why I'm still thrilled with my Pioneer Premier head unit. No screen, no nav, no DVD, but oozing quality and sound.

But if you want a screen, DVD, etc...can't beat the Dual units for their price.

[CadillacSTS2003]

yup
i got a pioneer avic-n1 in my ETC pioneer just makes awesome units especially at the price they ask when compared to alpine or eclipse.

i went with a factory nav upgrade in my STS

Cool.

I Have The Kenwood Dnx-7100 Nav/dvd System Installed In My 93 Fleetwood. I Like The Double Din Style Better. But I Payed Close To $1,000 To Buy The Unit Plus Have It Installed.

The Down side Of A Double Din System Is That It Looks More Appealing To Thieves. The One You Have Probably Has A Removable Face Plate...or At Least It "looks" Like A Regular Plain Jane Radio.


When People Walk Past My Fleetwood At Night And Look Inside At That Big Screen In The Dash I Know They May Thing About Taking It.

BIG,

Any pics you can show of the unit? I'm looking at a Pioneer Avic-D3. Still not 100% sure about it.

[Barrister_07101]

BIG DX - I agree I have the Kenwood DPX-701 and it looks so good that my car has already been hit once.


This is the best pic - but its not my car picture. I'm going to post that at some point.

Curious...why or how did you think it was a 1.5 din? Even without understanding that, just looking at it is pretty self explanatory that it's as large as head units get

Punched the car info on Pioneer's site and came up with din and a half.

Looks great! Nice and neat! looks really clean!!

I believe you can also try flipping the dvd mount for more clearence.Then u have a mini stash spot too when it opens it will hide the tray.

Enjoy your new toy!!

You're right and I'm shocked at how poorly pioneer is prepared. They treat every GM (domestic chassis) as the same Din 1.5 and 4x6 front and 6x9 rear. CRAZY

Correct. You really can't blame all of the chain store installers and others, who don't know (well, okay, you can...as I do) when a lot of the sites also are wrong.

Mostly a lot of just not knowing or checking and assuming "Well, it must be like other ones" when putting a website together.

Yet, rest assured, it's double din (just look at it...), and if you have a '93-96, the Metra 70-1856 harness is your friend as well as the Metra 99-2003 fitment kit, for all of the '93+ Fleetwoods.

Hey Cruiser

I'm still new to audio installs. whats the harness for? Is it just the specific harness for our car, or does it do something else?

[CADDYDADDY13]

What about harnesses and kits for 90-92 broughams? Is there anything specific to look out for?
