Hello, thank you very much for the video. I bought a camper van with Promaster chassis and the original radio was already replaced with a 7" Pioneer unit (similar to your Sony), but I want to install a bigger one (floating screen). I wonder how difficult you think to remove your Sony unit. I don't want you try that, but image that. Thanks in advance!
Hi. Removing the unit should be very simple. Just remove the trim ring and it should be easy to see how to access the screws. I wish I could remember more specifically but it's been quite a while since we put this in and I don't remember whether or not you'll need to little U shaped metal tool to remove it. Once you've detached it from the dash, it should be easy to just unplug wiring harnesses and the antenna. Good luck!
If you order a stereo from Crutchfield they send you all of that for free. If you're trying to piece it toghether, here are those items as they appear on my order sheet. Metra 95-6523 Dash Kit , Metra 70-1784 Receiver Wiring Harness, Metra 40-VW12 Antenna Adapter, Metra 86-5618 Factory Radio Removal Tools, Metra ISOPK Screw Pack
Hi, Jarrett. I pulled the parking brake cable over to the fuse box. I'm pretty sure the reverse light wire was integrated in the wiring harness we got from Crutchfield.
If you want to get control for the backup camera as well as other features like steering wheel controls, you will want to look at a Axxess Interface AXVI-6524 and steering wheel control interface, or a Maestro box. It lets the head unit get all the CAN-BUS signals, such as a parked signal if you have a DVD, and enables features of the most advanced head units. The AXVI-6524 also stopped my odometer from flashing since it's missing the radio on the CAN-BUS. Also, I highly recommend soldering all wires instead of any crimp connectors. An iron/solder/paste/shrink wrap is not that expensive these days, and ensures a much better long term trouble free connection.
I put a pioneer in my promaster , did it make your info center where it shows your mileage flash ?
After changing the stereo can you still change the time and date on your center info on the info screen in the speedo area
Please show how to disconnect radio wiring next time. Thank you

Great vidéo
What is single and dual bin is the Promaster a single ? Bin
Thanks
They call them single DIN or dual DIN. Our 2014 Promaster is single DIN. Newer ones might be dual.
Great job
Thanks, Angel!
Please share the install kit part number. Thank you.

Where did you integrate the parking break and reverse light wires?
Hi, Jarrett. I pulled the parking brake cable over to the fuse box. I'm pretty sure the reverse light wire was integrated in the wiring harness we got from Crutchfield.
@@drumbox2900 would you be able to share which wire in the fuse box you tapped into for the parking brake?
@@jarrettupton57 , I just grounded with a screw. It was the only place I found with easy access to a screw going directly into the metal.
