    the bezel should really easy to replace. there should be tabs that hold the climate controls is place, and or a fee screws. look around the climate controls. once removed you can replace onto the bes bezel.

    I have constant power to my double din pioneer dmh 160bt. Im installing it on my 2011 ford fusion se. Do you know why it wont turn off with the ignition? Also im using a metra interface harness that supposed to retain steering wheel controls but its not programming. And can u tell me what the little harness on the back that has a solid black wire with red and yellow clip is? Its the one that plugged into my factory radio. What is that used for?

    @esqu3l3to How did you figure out that pin 12 should be ground? I connected pin 11 to KEY1 wire on Android head unit and I tried connecting pin 12 to KEY2 connector. Also tried leaving pin 12 unplugged but in either case the head unit did not recognize the steering wheel buttons. I will try connecting pin 12 to GND. Cannot it connected to the GND wire in the harness or does it have to be connected to car body?

    for that you will need the crux or other interface that will allow you to retain the sync and all other oem functions. not sure which they are but crux will tell you what each kit does. getting the proper kit should allow you to keep all oem features and add a few more

    i watch a few other videos on ''how to better install '' speakers so you get better sound/no rattling and lessen the vibrations, buzzings etc. I like your video, but when i do my Xtrail fronts, i will take the advice of adding some sound deadener to the inside of the metal door panel. Some deadener under the factory speaker mounting bracket and wrapping up the wires with some insulation. --this the video if it helps others....kzread.info/dash/bejne/nISC28F6lMWYprg.html

    @@esqu3l3to ...Hi...so yesterday i bought a pair of Kicker 47KSC6504 KS-Series 6.5" 2-Way Coaxial Speakers at cnd.tire for $71.99 on sale. Got home, took off my front Xtrail door panels. I reused the stock speaker mounts. Using your advice, i modified with a pair of old wire clippers. They easily cut thru the plastic, i removed the old speakers and inserted the new speaker wires thru the hole that use to hold the old speaker wire connecter . Used 4 screws to mount my new speaker into the old speaker mount, used the speaker connections/crimped them...blah blah..it all fit perfectly, door panel went back on easily . I did add some cheap sound deadening . I had a roll kept from 5 years ago. Not true sound deadener, it's actually a sticky foam/foil wrap for air conditioning pipes. The speakers sound great, i get very good bass now and can crank up the volume to 35++ with no distortion. I may replace the rear door speakers with same brand i just bought, but the sound is very good as is now. The reason i have great sound now is because i also swapped out the factory nissan stereo 3 years ago for this >>JVC KW-R950BTS CD receiver. Now $199 at cnd tire, but back then it was on sale for about $140........i am no car stereo expert. But what i learned over the years is that upgrading to better car speakers will only be worthwhile IF you remove the stock car stereo (unless you have some new fancy vehicle with an awesome stereo ). I buy stuff on sale, and i detest buying too expensive car stereos and speakers. I live in Vancouver, we have a lot of thieves/junkies and just in general, thieving pricks. Too many smash and grabs , i personally had my own vehicles broken into about 5 times in the past, had my tires and rims stolen, got car keyed, vandalized etc. So no more fancy car stereos for me. Thanks for your helpful video...post more!

    yes, it does. as long as you allow apple carplay access to your messages (even auto read) they will display and you can view them while using carplay. Its not the radio that allows it or not its carplay or android auto. I can confirm android auto does so im sure so will carplay. just go to your carplay setting to allow it to.

If your head unit is blue tooth enabled, then it should also be voice activated under owner programmer. Where you basically say a command then the head unit should act accordingly.
