Hey, I want to do a custom sound system in my car. I already have 2 Kicker L7's in my trunk and the bass drowns out the mids and highs. My bass knob is not even half way turned up with the interiors all the way up. Anyway, I want to install a in dash (Pioneer AVH-P5200DVD). I know a couple members on here had custom work done on their car, I just want to know if I could make this work before I buy it. I have navigation, mp3 player, and the heated seats buttons on the center that's why I choose the single din. Thanks for your help in advance

its possible but I think you have to leave the OE headunit intact and place the aftermarket HU somewhere else.

I'm also selling my kenwood indash, with navigation and direct Ipod connect for $500 (Neg).. The only thing is when you put the discs in, you sometimes have to push it with another disc before it plays, its weird but not really a problem.
