Well fellas my cd player is about to crap out on me. Ive been thinking about moving on up to the double dins.

Ive looked at a few double dins already, and im really liking the Pioneer AVIC-F900BT.

I just have a few questions concerning getting it into my car and using all the features properly.

1) Will it fit? If so what would I need to make it fit?
2) I would deff be using the nav feature. My question is, do I need to buy anything to use this feature or is it simply put the unit in and go to town?
3) Id also use the sirius/xm radio feature, and also would like to know if I have to buy anything extra.

Im horrible with this sort of electronic thing, so it will be installed by a professional installer. Should they have all of the extras that I need to get everything up and running perfectly?

Sparknotes - have a 2000 civic, want to put in a double din, dont know what I need, dont know what I need to make nav and sirius to work.

Any help would be great. Thanks

 

There is a dash kit out there for a double din in a Honda and maybe you might need to do a little modification to mount it but if you are going to have it professionally installed then they should know what they are doing.

 

You will need a harness adapter, [to plug into the cars radio harness].
You may or may not need a DD trim ring, depends on what comes with the Pioneer HU, mounting is "ISO" so no kit is needed, other then trim maybe.

You will need either the XM tuner, [GEX-P920XM] or the Sirius Bus Interface, [CB-SB10] a Sirius tuner and possible the HD-Radio Tuner, [GEX-P10D].
here is the install manual for the unit...
