I have search and search the other post and other sites and forums. And no one wants to give complete instructioin what was do to install it. I bought the Eonon Double din with the navigation for cheap($120) brand new in the box. and I want to use it.

Thanks to anyone that can help me with this!!!

I'm not a radio guy by a long shot, but aren't the radios in these trucks din and a half? Will a double din even fit?

 

[mtyler7807]

You are right about that but I have seen pictures of people modding the trim around the radio to fit a double din. But they don't good enough instructions on what they did. For me to start. If I can find some one with awesome instruction I'll get started on it.

no idea what haks just sent but heres a pic with a screen.. i know its not a double din, but youll probably have to do the same concept.. i dont think those will fit good..

 

[HaKs310]

Linked him to a screen also but like you stated, same concept. Pictures will not show up sometimes though which sucks.

in order to do it you would have to take the slide clips off the factory radio and attach em to the double din. you then slide in the radio and mod the trim to accommodate it. seen it done, debated doin it, just never got around to it.

umm if u need help doing it you might want to have it professionally installed

 

[mrbigles]

You may want to see if you can find an old/extra dash from a junk yard and use it as your "test" piece. This way, you can take the good one off, install the head unit like TGB said and then use the crappy one to cut on and mold till you get it the way you like.

From there, just repeat (the good steps) on the good dash and post pictures!

yea, i would also suggest that you dont fully mount the clips til you check that the radio is level and at the best height. its a lot of testing to get it right

 

[sasquatch094]

its looks like hell once when something is off center or tilted. youll want to redo it afterwards.. just make sure u make tons of measurements and be precise. i have more pics of those if u wanna see em..

actually, i thought about it again. the HVAC needs to be moved as well i think. the NBS was the easy one. i think. someone correct me if im wrong, but im pretty sure the HVAC needs to go to the factory pocket location, and the double din takes up some area from both the factory HVAC slot and the factory radio location. if you can FG, its not too much work. its alot of making the bezel itself fit.

 

[sasquatch094]

yea i would think too that it needs to be moved.. ive seen it moved to the floor or in a console..

 

[TahoeGoBoom]

yea, i plan on putting them in my console when i finally get around to it. That and an extra screen.

 

[sasquatch094]

for sure man.. im waiting too for school to kick off.. i get good deals on kicker,alpine, and rockford fosgate

 

[TahoeGoBoom]

i get good deals on just about everything. schools just suckin me dry. the whole trucks been basically put on hold til i can get some more money..

 

[sasquatch094]

chyea tell me about it.. ive been selling my capri parts that i was going to put on it later down the road. but i guess money right now is higher priority then my capri.. i sold that console that i probably shouldnt of sold, but i got a good deal both ways on it. economy is sucking right now.. i dont even have a job.. lol..

 

[TahoeGoBoom]

i dont have a job either. theres no jobs around here. it sucks. and when the economys bad, no one wants luxuries. unfortunately for me, car audio is a luxury..

 

[sasquatch094]

i know exactly what you mean.. ive been job searching and nothing has come up at all. noone will call you back, nothing. imean cars is a good business to be in, but you just have to be in the right field for it. like even autocollision and bodyshops are doing bad right now. audio especially. rims. it sucks..

 

[TahoeGoBoom]

i cant even sell the damn golf cart i've been tryin to get rid of. everyone goes, "wow thats awesome" but no one can afford it "right now". i hate this economy..
