Double din stereo install DIY???
ive searched here, , and google and cant seem to find anything on it.
looking at 2 tl's (posted in the help/advice thread so any input on what i posted there would be greatly appreciated)
is there a diy thread somewhere on how to do so? i got a pioneer avh-p2300 and would want to install in place of the oem. and negatives in doing this?

Double DIN is complex in the TL. If you have nav, it causes all sorts of issues as many functions are tied to the stock radio. Non-navi is easier. Mostly remove and replace, but the hard part is fabbing a plate to fill the holes, especially where the factory knobs stick out into the trim. Couple people have done it. I think it looks kinds goofy myself, unless you're talking a non navi double din. I guess the real question is what are your goals in replacing the stock unit? There might be an easier way.

one of the tl's im looking at is non-navi, thats the one id replace the stock oem head unit.
i just figured it would look nicer. buttons and knobs < touch screen double-din
id be pulling it out of my old car and figured it would be an easy swap as long as i dont lose anything from the oem by replacing it

The only other issue you might have is the wireing harness. I dont think they make a specific radio harness for our cars. I have a Pioneer AVIC-D3 that i want to install but not sure im going to wire it up . I dont want to cut the stock radio plug off either .

FWIW if you want a fancier system on your non-navi car I'd seriously look at this.

Much better result than shoehorning a double din in the dash imho.
