Do you have the brake bypass installed for watching movies?

 

 

Yes it is grounded and that bypasses the brake so Ican operate the map and watch movies while the car is moving

 

Yeah I found them cheap online. Is it easy to install? Does it require any mods to the actual head unit?

 

Nothing to the head unit, just need to ground the parking brake, i have had this Pioneer since 07 and I have neveer had any issues with it

 

Good stuff, I will order one then. Thanks

 

No problem if you end up getting it let me know and Ill try to find the install instructions for bypassing the speed control/parking brake, so you can use all the features while you drive

 

Yeah I will. Thanks! Here's the new one I'm going to get. Its brand new so I can't go off any reviews. But its pioneer ,so I think it should be good. Plus I like that the aux and USB is back. I can run those wires under my console so I Dont have wires hanging around the unit.

Then from amazon I'm getting the bypass:

I think that's all I need. I've watched videos on taking out stock head unit and seems straight forward. Hopefully installing the bracket/holder for the new head unit is as straight forward.

 

Oh cool you got it covered, nice enjoy it

 

Where did you get that?



I did that on mine today

 

Hey man where did you get that polished power plug cover with the Mustang on it? That is really sharp

 

Bro its been so long that I dont remember excatly where i bought it, I did a search and found this link, they are not cheap but they do look nice, when I bought mine they did not have black and now they do. do a search to see if you can find it for less $ maybe Ebay. hope this helps bro

wow the price is def surprising, but thanks. they are pretty sweet so i might pick one up

 

Nice looking set up's

 

Bought this brand new back in '05 when I bought my first S-197 when they first came out. Transferred it to my '09 when I bought it. Nearly 8 years later, still works great!

 

Yea thats what i thought when I first bought it, but once it arrived i was happy, it is made pretty solid and the fit is very good, its NOT made of cheap metals

 

I am 16 and my first car is a mustang. I would love to put on of these head units in my car but i have no clue how to do it. Can someone help? I dont have and aux port in my current standard radio. Can anyone give me any advice on which one of these head units to get and how to hook it up and everything?

 

Any suggestions on what to do to a screen that doesn't have a dimming feature nor does it have a screen off option? Kinda a PITA while driving. I have to listen to music while driving or I'd just turn it off.

 

Here's a couple of links , the first one is to a head unit install , all type units are pretty much the same procedure. You can get a harness from Crutchfield for what ever unit you get that mates up with our ford harness. The second link is to TacoBills how links , which the first link is part of.

On my unit, there is no button to turn the screen off, but if I press and hold the "video select" button, the screen DOES turn off. It's not in the manual. I found it by just messing around. Give that a try and maybe you will get lucky.
