Added a new Pioneer DEH-3300UB stereo reciever head unit to my car.
Ordered it online from Crutchfield. Requested the wiring harness adapter and plastic dash insert for aftermarket radios. Installation was easy.
I found excellent instructions online and also included in the box from Crutchfield. Here are some photos from the recent installation. Hope this helps other 240 owners who are planning to make this upgrade. The photos show the install work in reverse. Scroll to bottom to see beginning.
The new system sounds seriously improved. It’s louder, cleaner, more punch, more radio stations are being received more clearly, and now I can play CDs, MP3s, USB, Ipod.
