New Pioneer DMH-WC6600NEX flush mount install

Im about to do this install is this an accurate parts list? i dont want to jus order it from Amazon and hope it has all the adapters. I dont care much about sirius xm or the OEM gps antenna if it doesnt affect anything else. Im also in a 2019 sport with only a rear camera and dont care about a front camera. I definitely want the maestro engine vitals though.

 

Also - i noticed someone mention running an HDMI down to the floorboard for watching movies on the screen when camping, is this with the micro HDMI in the back?

 

Sorry - didn't see you mentioned you had 2019
Mine is 2021 so my parts were slightly different

 

Yes - get a micro HDMI to HDMI-female adapter
Here's one I got

$9 JSAUX Micro HDMI to HDMI Adapter, Micro HDMI Male to HDMI Female Adapter Cable, 4K@60Hz HDR 3D Dolby 18Gbps, Compatible for Nikon Zfc/GoPro Hero/Raspberry Pi 4/Sony A6000 and Other Action Camera-Grey

Metra 40-LX11 Antenna Adapter

$59 SiriusXM SXV300V1 SiriusXM Satellite Radio Vehicle Tuner, Add to Any SiriusXM-Ready Car Stereo SXV300V1

I got the MRR2 Maestro so in case I needed future capabilities but you can get just the MRR if you choose

I got, but did not use,

$22 American International TOYK9714 2016 Toyota Tacoma Dash Mounting Kit

American International TOYK9714 dash kit - I modified the OEM brackets as others have done in this thread. If you get this, you'll still need to modify mounting holes for this HU.

But if you go to Crutchfield and enter you specific vehicle, they'll show you everything you need

 

Dang boys yall are amazing. didnt expect that quick of a response, so I JUST found the sony options from Trail Grid Pro. Is there any advantage to the pioneer over those? also does trail grid pro already flash the maestro for you for that year? sorry for all the questions, just dont want to spend a 1k on something unless i can get it done quick

 

Yeah you can watch youtube videos from Trail Grid Pro - they do most of the prep for you so it's pretty plug n play really.
I prefer Pioneer slightly over Sony, but that's just personal preference really.
They also have several Alpines they offer but when I saw the Pioneer I liked it better than the Alpine - but can't really go wrong with any of the three - personal preference really.
Installing the Pioneer really wasn't that difficult and programming the Maestro is very easy - you enter information into the software you download and it programs it for you but if you're not comfortable doing that, then Trail Grid Pro is a pretty good setup with how they prepare everything and I hear their support is top notch.

 

Anyone ever compared the 6600 to the 7600?

 

They're basically the same except the 7600 screen sticks out a bit further and has a remote.

Stupid question but once installed does it retain the back up lines or is there an option to keep or remove the lines?

 

Has the lines. Haven't noticed an option to remove, but I haven't looked.

 

Same here - I prefer the lines and they stayed OEM and never looked to see if you can remove them

 

Anyone have any issues with wireless CarPlay cutting out and disconnecting periodically? Been wondering if it’s a pioneer issue or an iOS issue. Oddly enough it usually happens in the same area I’m driving through.

 

Could be wireless interference. I get it on Android Auto at very specific spots when using 5ghz, buy not on 2.4ghz.

 

I read mixed reviews about iOS connectivity issues with the Pioneer 6600nex. There's quite a few posts and reviews about poor connectivity issues.

 

I have an 8600 Nex and it’s been flawless across he board

 

If you're considering, any specific concerns you'd like evaluated?

I like mine, happy with it in general, but it does have a few quirks and it's expensive. I want a 2nd one for my '05 but can't come to terms with the price tag. I noticed the DMH-WT3800NEX is a lot cheaper but haven't really looked into it.

Double din units look so small now.

 

Thanks, nothing specific really.

I'm trying to convince myself that the factory radio with the kicker key 200.4/500.1 sounds just fine with the Focal RSE-165/RCX-165 and JL Stealthbox. Seriously it does, but I'm tempted to upgrade.

I did look at the 3800 a while back. The differences were summed up here...

The Sony 9500es is another contender and trailgridpro offers a nice plug and play service, but the Pioneer's have a nicer display imo.

 

Anyone have random restarts? I can’t pin down the cause or reproduce it. It’s not a full shutdown as it immediately resumes music.

 

How old is your battery and what's the voltage reading?
