I had a ford falcon also back then, hated it , but I think my taste have changed cause I think I would like it now haha

 

Not to change the subject but did you buy the Metra Installation kit,the Metra 16 pin harness and the Scoschi radio removal tool?

 

no did notbuy anything, well I did buy a connector harness but it was the wrong one so I used wire taps on each wire so I could leave the factory plug on the wire harness.

 

How did you route the rca cables from the camera to inside the cab? through the steering wheel boot or the safety brake boot?
What holds the unit in the dash?

 

down under the floor mat and out through the rubber grommet that is in the extended cab floor. if that makes sense lol

 

OK, I played a movie and pressed the upper right hand of the screen and the pic. goes away only audio so YES it goes to a blank screen even if watching a movie by touching the upper right corner of the screen.

GOOD TO KNOW

 

So the picture and audio goes away? What holds the head unit in the dash?

 

No just the pic goes away AUDIO keeps playing but it keeps you legal that way I guess too?
the bezel hahaha thats it unless you put the metal strap to the unit and to a place under the dash or in that cubble hole you know what I mean lol

I just updated my old post why doesn't it show up in the new posts page? Never mind I figures it out..
Thx, Bob C.

 

Checked out the videos, the truck looks good.
Now for black wheels and black headlights.

How’s the radio working out, Pioneer is a good setup.

 

The radio is fantastic really like it,the cd is nice,dvd awesome backup camera very helpful all in all pleased with the Pioneer.

 

I have this radio: Pioneer AVIC-F700BT http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/GPS-Navigation/AVIC-F700BT.

It has the capability to play dvds with an outside DVD player that wires right up, back up camera (separate purchase), and USB input with a long wire so you can pretty much put it anywhere (I have mine running through the dash into the glove compartment so all I have to do is plug in my iPhone/iPod and it pulls up everything on screen) as well as SD card slot and aux in jack in front. My only draw back to this model is in order to have sound through your iPhone/iPod you have to plug in the headphone jack as well. Newer models you can plug right in without worrying about an aux headphone jack. Not that you're looking for that, but just an observation.

The only reason I got it is because my brother got it when he worked at Best Buy for a steal and he upgraded so he sold me this one dirt cheap. But it doesn't have everything you're looking for, but I highly recommend Pioneer for any head-unit, especially when it comes to the double-dins and touch screens. They have come a long way since the model I have and now are even better.

 

I ran my usb to the front of the console as my glove box is full of crap.Mine has everything I was looking for I don't have a iphone but do have a ipod but haven't figured our how to use it yet,LOL

 

There is a Ranger Owner that ran the cable to the center console and mounted his iPod to the underside of the arm rest.
Good out of the way location, some Velcro is all it took.
Mounting the USB there is a good idea.
