double din install help

has anyone installed a double din with navigation? if so do you have any pictures of the install?

i am thinking about buying one, but i called the place that would be installing it and they said it would be around $230.00. i feel like that is a rip off

 

its easy to do just get a double din dashkit and wiring its just connecting colours. if the dashkit doesnt come with an OEM wiring harness try and and find one then you can just wire the deck inside your house and then it just plugs in. really easy not worth $250 bones

 

where would i put the gps reciever at?

 

If its just the hu its not too bad, but if you add bluetooth, steering wheel control adapter, etc it gets harder (for me anyway) It pretty tight trying to route wires. I decided to let a shop do mine for 100.00. 250.00 sounds high to me...check around.

 

They mounted mine inside the cab on passenger side dash in corner. You cant really see it and it works great.

 

im not doing bluetooth, i have it installed currently on my single din and i dont use it much. nor do i have the steering wheel controls

My GPS antenna is mounted under my dash. Works fine from there and you cant see it.

 

check my build, it's easy. i mounted the gps thing on the passenger dash in the corner where its almost un-seen.

 

nice truck, now i just need to decide on gps or not, i already have one and i only have about 400ish to spend

 

if you already have one i would just keep what you have, i assume it's a garmin or similar?

 

Garmin, I'm thinking about getting a Jensen for 350 with everything included plus a camera then getting the gps for a birthday present from the gf
