thought anyone could offer me any assistance.. i purchased the kenwood DDX-6019, a double din head unit that jus replaced the DDX-7017, in terms of removing the shaker 500, how do i go about doing that? and everything else is going to be kept stock, so is there anything i need to know? or buy?

thanks

There are some pdf on here that show the radio removal instructions. You will need a 5v regulator (Radio Shack #7805) for the amp turn on lead so the door subs don't pop. A metra dash kit and the 5521 wiring harness will be all you need, you can get these from Crutchfield or installer.com.

I just installed a 7017 this past weekend.

Here is a thread started by the man to talk with about your install Hawgman. A lot of good info here.

thanks for the response.. the install for the 6019 went fairly well.. in a week or two i need to attach the 5v voltage regulator but in the mean time the head unit works perfectly.. i bypassed the video, by attaching the black ground cable that went to the back of the buttons to the left of my cigarette lighter. I dont have an info center in my car, so i was able to use that black ground to bypass the parking cable bullpoo. would anyone be able to explain what wires get attached to the 5v regulator, thats the only thing that confuses me a bit.

 

I answered your PM on AFM. But to repeat, the voltage regulator has three legs. One is input, one is output, and one is ground. They will be marked on the package with a picture to show you which one is which.
The amp on signal wire from the head unit goes to the input leg. The output leg goes to the amp on wire in the wiring harness. The ground...well...it goes to ground.
