Pioneer Receiver

                        

Finally pulled the trigger and bought a Pioneer MVH-200EX Digital Multimedia Receiver from Crutchfield. Touch screen and does NOT play CD’s. I would have preferred a dial for volume control but the available models were so much more money..

I purchased from the US .com website for $169. (USD) along with the Metra 99-7872 Dash Kit, 70-1722 Receiver Wiring Harness and40-HD10 Antenna Adapter. The entire install kit was only $12.97 USD.  From the .ca website it’s $250. and $28. respectively. Shipping is Free from both sites but I saved on the GST, PST and recycling fee!

The Metra Kit was pretty nice. Fit & finish was pretty decent, say 8-9/10 compared to Honda OEM quality.  Installation was relatively straightforward. The instructions were quite helpful.  I also used an APPS2Car Parking Brake Bypass from Amazon.ca.  I may also wire the stock AUX port in the centre console to the deck. For now the AUX cable is hidden under the dash. Not a priority as Bluetooth and USB covers 99% usage.
