Pioneer avh-4200

[platour22]

Anyone running the pioneer 4200 dvd/cd player. I bought this the other day online with out doing any research to see if it would even fit. If anyone has any pics i would like to see how it looks in the dash. Also what dash kit is the best to use.

Oh it will fit for sure. Look for the Metra double din kit for the 04-06 GM trucks.

Slick deck btw, good choice.

I just bought one and waiting for my wiring harness to come in which should be today or tomorrow but it fits perfect, although you do have to cut away some plastic inside the dash but its not much and takes about 5 mins, I used metra 95-2009 dash kit

Cool man post a pic if you get it installed. You doing the bypass on it. I used a relay on my last pioneer and worked perfect.

what did they change from the 4100 to the 4200? the 4100 is ****** huge..even compared to most other DDs...i had a dash precut for one and i had to take out another 1/4" all the way around because of the 7" screen

They didn't change a whole lot between them really. The graphics are better on the 4200, new software design, and it's navigation ready.

They have a 3200BT now that has built in bluetooth but it has the 5.8" screen. This is probably the one ill go with just for the bluetooth. if the 4200 had bluetooth i would buy it, but im not spending another $200 on that stupid BT adapter when I have to buy a $100 harness and $100 steering wheel control adapter too. Pioneer's are great units!

yes i will be doing the bypass, just wondering if a 4 pin relay will work the same as a 5 pin relay, the 4200 has an sd slot, navigation port, and i wanna say it has the slide effect like the iphone and the ipod interfaces are better and the 4200 has RDS, nick you should check on ebay and other places for the harnesses, i know ive seen the steering wheel interface for $40 on ebay and the gmos goes for about $60

Well I already have both parts, and thats about what I paid for them, just saying what they were retail

looks like it was made for that spot. I want something like this, cause thinking of building a wall in my tahoe.

 

[TnTahoe]

no need for that extra screen if you are getting the 4200, just buy a rearview camera

i got the p-4200 installed last week and so far i am loving it. it is better than the p5100 i had in it before it was stolen. everything is crystal clear and the only problem im having is when i switch to usb to connect my external hard drive it takes like 2-3mins to read everything on it before it starts to play. it probably due to the fact that its gotta read through 80gb of music. overall the hu is great. there's a guy on youtube who did a 5-6video review of it. check it out.

 

[TnTahoe]

yeah from my understanding the more files you have on the devices the longer it takes to read, but hey 2-3 mins aint bad for 80gb of media, oh yeah and another guy on youtube tried out a 1tb hdd and it worked

 

[lilsolo68]

what! 1tb. my buddy tried that before on another hu he had and it didnt work. you got a link to that vid, cause thats what i wanna use.

 

[TnTahoe]

i cant find the video but it probably was removed bc he was showing some ****, but the 1tb hdd was not fully loaded but it read it
