Hey @windguy,
Thanks for the reply. From reading about that Pioneer install it did look more or less like a drop-in install, with the right connectors of course. Because of the angle of the dash I think I'm going to go with a more traditional single DIN unit with rear USB and AUX inputs and run them into the center console. I am thinking about a Kenwood KDC model for some of the features. I also wouldn't mind having another storage option under the single DIN unit.
I am wondering if my XLT has the microphones installed in the ceiling console and how exactly the 6-channel sound system will work the the after market head-unit.
We'll see!
