Double-din in 1st gen, modifications required.

That looks really good. I was thinking of doing something similar to my 1st gen. Has anyone here tried this unit?

From what the listing states, it already has GPS installed. Not that having GPS is a big issue but it would be nice to see if it works better than Google Maps, lol.

Thanks for the pics.. I was a little confused by the dash kit illustration as to what exactly needed to be removed. I'm guessing a Dremel tool will work on this job pretty well.

That’s what I used.

It took about 5 min to cut out the slopping piece of plastic preventing the stereo from being fully seated.

I'm about to undertake a similar modification (head unit, door speakers, small sub/amp) to my 01 Expedition XLT. Can you explain more about the ebrake bypass that you wired in for the backup cam?

Hi

To be honest I did not do the part I took it to a stereo shop.

Installing the new deck wasn’t hard but I did not want to screw up installing the reverse camera.

Sorry about that.

I am away for work for two weeks but when I get back I will look under the steering console and see what wires were tapped.
