He's Lucky to have a dad like that man. Id love to see the shop sometime just because. been following stuff on this channel for over a decade now, got a lot of inspiration from this channel
I love that your kids enjoy your hobbies/ career as much as you do. That's really cool that you take the time to teach and pass on your dreams to them.
Man I love watching your father and son vids, makes me jelly of an awesome relationship i never got to have with my dad. Of all the great things you've done and accomplished this has got to make you the proudest.
I own the same make and model Yukon with the exact dashboard layout as your son's Yukon. After watching this , I'm highly considering purchasing this double din Pioneer head unit. I already have my amp and subs installed, so this head unit will complete my av setup in my Yukon. Awesome job on the install guys!👍
ya man it wasn't too bad. The first one is always a learning experience but i could knock this out in a fraction of the time after doing it once. You'll be good, just do what i did! Thanks Ray!
No need to apologize about shop noise. That’s the sound of having work and a family business making money. It sounds awesome to me. I hope your shop is never quiet. 💯
The Meade's, buying up every GM made full size SUV across the nation and putting slap in them, since 96. I love it. I love how your boys took a liking to your style over the years. Proud Papa for sure. Respect.
I would keep the chime module in case of a engine power is reduced message or low oil pressure, or engine overheating warning or any audible warning in the car.
Since the stereo is maestro compatible, next time look into getting a Maestro module and a t-harness, you can easily customize steering buttons, retain oem XM, and display tire pressure and clear Check engine codes on the screen of the stereo.
That's exactly what I did. I went all out for my Denali and the the maestro kit. Everything is perfect. I am about to install my 4500. My 4200 went out on me
I have the same exact vehicle but I was told that because the factory stereo is designed with a special Bose system, the stereo system was set up differently so that the chimes and back up sensors can be heard over the stereo and therefore required a special type of headunit.
i have an alpine head unit case which works for my 03 panasonic face aswell. i keep it in my center console 24/7. its a cq-df602u so pretty impossible to find replacement parts let alone info
Dude I don't understand why people complain about the noise in the background. It's not bad or distracting. It's way better than dead silence. Maybe cause I'm one of those people that needs a fan when I sleep at night. Do you man, your running a business. Fuck the background noise, it's not that bad. I'm using speakers and I can hear you just fine even with the volume turned way down.
I have an older pioneer unit (2017 I believe) and that tilting screen is so nice to get just the right viewing angle! And to have the CD player and sd card on an otherwise all screen double din!
It's cool to see a dad doing so much for his son. He'll grow up and do the same thing for his children. I am curious. Is he into a lot of bass like you, wanting something huge? It's a lot more room in that XL than your Tahoe!!!
Thank you for this video. Now I see that the deck is wired to the interface and the interface connects to the vehicle. I normally mess with older stuff. I was a bit daunted at first but now I see that it's not much different than just hooking up a deck. Great videos as always
Super sick Steve! That's really nice that it has wireless Carplay. My car has it but I'm tied down with these flimsy lightning cables. Great work as always Steve!
That's a clean HU, can never go wrong with a Pioneer! Took me back to 1993 with that detachable face. Just might need to start rockin the alarm keypad/remote hanging out of your pocket :)
Remember those days when it was just power, RCA and signal wires you had to worry about? Now it’s like being a network engineer!!! And you have to worry about it actually working with the cars interface. Car electronics have DEFINITELY come a long way...
I always love to see him with his sons and builds. It is so exciting! 1 thing I have always wondered, with these DOPE installs, I never hear or see Steve install killer security alarms or aftermarket remote start systems. I would love to get his insight on the most stealthy way to install car alarms like we had to do in the 90s (Alpine was the HARDEST ALARM TO INSTALL!!). Keep up the good work SMD!
Same style butt connectors I use on all my 12V installs. They work just fine so long as you don't get too aggressive on the sheathing with the crimpers.
I can't wait for the full build in the 'burban. I mean the son has to do better then his father and the Tahoe is nothing to bat a bad eye at. Double the knowledge, double the wattage and double the quality machines & quality of work! It will be a very good one to watch.
Wish my kids loved bass as much as i do....i would of loved for my dad to pull up bumpin to pick me up from school...my kids want me to turn it down lol
That removable face is sick. I just made my choice on my head unit. Thanks for the vid man! Are you going to do another install video of the rest of his system? Any decisions on what equipment he's going with?
Chime is useful when you forget to turn off your blinkers or when you’re low on gas and when you get indications on the DIC. But I’ve been running without chime for a while lol
I have the same radio to override the video turn the radio off. When the screen is on all you gotta do is press the bottom left of the screen for like 10 sec and you will have a message pop up and now you can watch all the videos you want
I have the same pac interface setup and you can turn down the chime module volume. Anyway nice head unit. I would love to have one in my impala but don’t think it will fit.
Just gotta say that you dont have to apologize for all your machines in the background. Free time is hard to find anymore and if that means you have to do it while working then so be it!
That's what I did. No wires. I took both my cigarette lighters out and put a usb/aux port on one side for android and put a usb/hdmi port on the other side. So much better.
Great content here, I have been scouring youtube looking for ideas for my 2008 Chevy Suburban LTZ so I'm definitely going for this setup. Will my OEM rear camera be affected....didn't hear anything mentioned on this particular install.
Im saving up to get a new double din for my 07 impala. Factory unit works about 60% of the time lol. Still got a ways to go to afford that bad boy but I will get there!!!
I'm glad you seen those caps as annoying. I seen you choose those right next to a lot better choices, but when I seen they were the shrink tube ones and was somewhat relieved
I'm not sure if it would be the same since I went with the maestro integration unit, but there is settings in the head unit to control the volume of the chimes and turnsignals
I love how the boys are always bumpin some mozzy when they have the chance. I think KayKay was the first one i heard playin some Mozzy. That first track on the new album "smoke session" that shit bumps, but its only 40-50 seconds lol. Beats badass tho.
Damn my 4200 just went out on me. I didnt know about the firmware update and now I get nothing. I just bought the 4500 to replace my 4200. Make sure you keep up with your firmware updates.
Pain in the ass wiring all the speakers in only to use the RCAs down the road but I have to assume it was a bit of an upgrade in sound anyway. That Delco or whatever probably didn't sound too great.
I set mine up can't get it to turn off & can't get rear speakers to play 🤦🏽♂️ pretty sure I wired everything correctly too but I guess not if it's messing up on me🙄
Lmao that chime tho man I have a impala I had almost the same exact harness that retains the chime and all i did was take the chime apart and cut the wires it was wayyy too loud and annoying!
I thought it was the same harness apparently not since mine you have to have the chime connected in order for the harness to even work because the whole harness plugs into it not a separate wire for the chime like yours
You know I honestly dont mind all that background noise. It's a sort of calm ambience in the background. But anyhow I know you chop up the video when you gotta play copyrighted music Steve. Does that background noise help with masking the sound even a tiny bit, so TH-cam's sensitive algorithm doesn't pick it up? Its awesome if it does.
On a side note: My friend keep buggin me to get a new double din. After seen that rats nest "Fuck That". I'm going to stick with my 2005 model Sony deck that's already installed and working just fine. I have USB on there so GOOD ENOUGH!! lol
great video like usual ......i have a 2007 dodge charger with no steering wheel controls..i want to also install a touch screen...is it just plug and play.?..and where should i look for the harrness i may need..?.thanks
john smith no steering wheel controls makes everything easy. Get a dodge to pioneer/alpine/kenwood/Sony adapter and as long as you bought the right one it should be fine. A back up camera may need some work
He is lucky to have a dad like u
He's Lucky to have a dad like that man. Id love to see the shop sometime just because. been following stuff on this channel for over a decade now, got a lot of inspiration from this channel
Same 👍🏽
This is so bad ass!! i just wish my pops would come back from the store, its been 30 years already!

Gotta love father and son projects.
Love the father and son installs. Wish my dad was in to stuff like this so I can do it with him.
Not only that he is helping his son and doing some father/son time. But he is making money while doing so. Gotta love it
No need to apologize about shop noise. That’s the sound of having work and a family business making money. It sounds awesome to me. I hope your shop is never quiet. 💯
Have people REALLY complained that much about the machines in the background? It’s kind of calming 🤷🏻♂️
Dope upload bro.
That Pioneer looks good in there. That must be the 2019 model Steve. All he needs now is a dope ass system in there and he'll be good to go.
Love these FATHER & SON videos! 🙌🏽💪🏽

nah. This adapter works with Bose too.
@@meade916 I just realized that the adapter does work and includes a chime that is used instead of the factory chime.
Did any one else back in the day hid the face of the stereo under the car seat or glove box?
i have an alpine head unit case which works for my 03 panasonic face aswell. i keep it in my center console 24/7. its a cq-df602u so pretty impossible to find replacement parts let alone info
That chime module is also for the blinker sound, there is also an adjustment dial on it for volume.
I lost all my dash sounds blinker and everything when I hooked up my radio. I love not listening to the blinker
I had to do the same thing with my 04 Durango. That kit for the steering wheel controls works flawlessly.
who else comes for the dope vids and to see who said something stupid in the comments. so steve can snap on em lol I can be the only one.
pioneer always be my go to head unit because they are easy to use. I have a double din in my sequoia
mid 2000s gm suv. perfect for a young man comin up. Parts are plentiful and it's a good platform for upgrades

2:14 Scobee scared of it LMAO
Always love father and son projects awesome build
You make that install look so simple your experience shows
thank you sir.

I love installs like these !!! Keep it up man 🙏🙏🙏
Now you don't have to worry about your head unit, just your catalytic converter
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 right
Now it needs a viper security system gotta keep it real and safe.
It's cool to see a dad doing so much for his son. He'll grow up and do the same thing for his children. I am curious. Is he into a lot of bass like you, wanting something huge? It's a lot more room in that XL than your Tahoe!!!
Bro that is a nice head unit. I just got a Yukon today and I'm most definitely throwing this unit in. Good shit bro
I like the way you do your job you take pride excellent
Thank you for this video. Now I see that the deck is wired to the interface and the interface connects to the vehicle. I normally mess with older stuff. I was a bit daunted at first but now I see that it's not much different than just hooking up a deck. Great videos as always
That truck is stupid clean for an 07
I got a 2002 avalanche that only has one area of rust on the body and the interior is in mint condition. Its all how the vehicle was taken care of
Super sick Steve! That's really nice that it has wireless Carplay. My car has it but I'm tied down with these flimsy lightning cables. Great work as always Steve!
thanks Rekt!
That's a clean HU, can never go wrong with a Pioneer!
Took me back to 1993 with that detachable face. Just might need to start rockin the alarm keypad/remote hanging out of your pocket :)
That pioneer is badass!🤘🏾
& DJ Quik at the end, oh yeah... 😎
Damn man he’s your twin!!! Nice head unit and whip!
love to see this man... been around since you popped her eye out! I can only hope that my son is into audio as well. keep up the amazing work.
Remember those days when it was just power, RCA and signal wires you had to worry about? Now it’s like being a network engineer!!! And you have to worry about it actually working with the cars interface. Car electronics have DEFINITELY come a long way...

Let me answer my own question, video a few days ago answers it! LOL
Pac usually has a way to adjust the volume on the chime module ... i dont know the exact procedure but i know it can be done
me too....OFF. LOL
With a micro Philips screwdriver driver to turn it up or down
I always recommend my costumers to hear it with and without the chime and always end up disconnecting it
Same style butt connectors I use on all my 12V installs. They work just fine so long as you don't get too aggressive on the sheathing with the crimpers.
I can't wait for the full build in the 'burban. I mean the son has to do better then his father and the Tahoe is nothing to bat a bad eye at. Double the knowledge, double the wattage and double the quality machines & quality of work! It will be a very good one to watch.
Always learning watching your videos. Thanks so much for all the information in your video's
Very clean install. You son got the hook up. I do the same thing for my kids with their stereos.
Wish my kids loved bass as much as i do....i would of loved for my dad to pull up bumpin to pick me up from school...my kids want me to turn it down lol
Damn lol same here! I put a half ass system in my last vehicle and my son just turned up his earbuds! WTF lol!
As Dean from 5Star would say. "Set the dial to 7 for Pioneer" lol.
That removable face is sick. I just made my choice on my head unit. Thanks for the vid man! Are you going to do another install video of the rest of his system? Any decisions on what equipment he's going with?

Love it 😂😂😂

I got a Yukon...I'm not missing this
I did that tape trick on the door ding module for my Grand Prix. it's way too loud and annoying, but I wanted to still hear it.
You can buy a factory usb port to replace one of the 12v plugs in the dash for about 10 bucks to keep a clean look
That's what I did. No wires. I took both my cigarette lighters out and put a usb/aux port on one side for android and put a usb/hdmi port on the other side. So much better.
Good choice. those Pioneer are solid. play good
shane mc yeah they do. 👍🏻👍🏻
Not to mention the crossover settings are f****** fantastic
That's all I use as a head unit. Pioneer all the way.
KK is digging that double Din....
Purchased a 86 Cutlass Brougham, me and my dad hooked up my audio system, hoping to get 4 15’s . Good vid💯
Thats right another great dad moment like said bro dope dope dope he's on now he just gotta get his amps and high speakers dope 🎥 again bro
Where’s the steak knife, yeah I saw you use the scissors!👍🏻
You can turn the chime module down and when it burried in the dash it's pretty quite
i did turn it down. ALL THE WAY. LOL
AWESOMENESS

Seriously Steve... You're an audio 🔉 genius 💯
we don't mind the sound in the back that's MONEY being made! Git it!
I have the 4200NEX and love it. It has the same face removal feature. Also, can't wait for the Android Auto update it looks sick.
The unfortunate thing is my older Pioneer doesn't have the wireless capability. But the USB is working just fine.
Damn my 4200 just went out on me. I didnt know about the firmware update and now I get nothing. I just bought the 4500 to replace my 4200. Make sure you keep up with your firmware updates.
@@kdkane1919 Thank you, I'm on the latest. But, it's been years since they released one.
That's clean, real clean.
Pain in the ass wiring all the speakers in only to use the RCAs down the road but I have to assume it was a bit of an upgrade in sound anyway. That Delco or whatever probably didn't sound too great.
the sound ain't much different right now but it sure looks a lot better.

Clean install
Lmao that chime tho man I have a impala I had almost the same exact harness that retains the chime and all i did was take the chime apart and cut the wires it was wayyy too loud and annoying!
why take it apart or cut the wires when you can just unplug it? i'm confused.
I thought it was the same harness apparently not since mine you have to have the chime connected in order for the harness to even work because the whole harness plugs into it not a separate wire for the chime like yours
Yes to 60fps uploads... and great content sir ❤
The humming is a part of your video's. Life
Sweet radio upgrade! Now lets see you and your son put a killer system in his SUV next. Perhaps two 12" subs with a bass processor and amp to match.
Lmfao you sound like a noob
You know I honestly dont mind all that background noise. It's a sort of calm ambience in the background. But anyhow I know you chop up the video when you gotta play copyrighted music Steve. Does that background noise help with masking the sound even a tiny bit, so TH-cam's sensitive algorithm doesn't pick it up? Its awesome if it does.
it might a little bit but it isn't worth the gamble haha! Thanks man!
Install looks good! Surprised to see that you’re still playing CD’s. Looking forward to seeing the rest of this install as it comes about.
On a side note: My friend keep buggin me to get a new double din. After seen that rats nest "Fuck That". I'm going to stick with my 2005 model Sony deck that's already installed and working just fine. I have USB on there so GOOD ENOUGH!! lol
Background noise isn’t a problem, for me, at least. Gotta make that money Steve. We know how you do💪🏽 #SMD
That noise is a daily grind. Make that money and continue to make great products.
Dope been watching you for years now
Noneed to apologize for the sound your equipment is making that’s how you make a living!!
great video like usual ......i have a 2007 dodge charger with no steering wheel controls..i want to also install a touch screen...is it just plug and play.?..and where should i look for the harrness i may need..?.thanks
john smith no steering wheel controls makes everything easy. Get a dodge to pioneer/alpine/kenwood/Sony adapter and as long as you bought the right one it should be fine. A back up camera may need some work
@@HayDog322 great where do i find the adaptor..?
Best buy has the harness and dash kit are amozoncom
john smith go to amazon. Type(your truck/car) to pioneer/ alpine/ kenwood.
Did you retain rear DVD entertainment function?
Wow that speaker is dope.
Its It's great your som finally upgraded from that soccer mom double din to something way better.
I just recently bought the same double din bad ass radio
Def getting the 7 inch screen was scared it wouldn't fit
