Installed my Pioneer 7900BT and CB Radio

[Crash ?]

Great looking install... Looks kinda familiar although yours looks like it fit a bit better..

I had a good bit of playing with a cut off wheel to get the CB to fit the dash kit as well as some cutting on the tab on the cross bar behind the dash in order to get the CB to fit in the dash with the coax connected to the back of the CB..

What dash install kit dd you use..?? Apparantly is wasn't a Scosche

Kinda like you in respect to not making pics during the install..

The kit I bought was an American International GM-K382. When I ordered the CD player they sent me a scosche kit but I really didn't like the looks of it. The main difference is the scosche uses a front mount system which means you slide the cd player in from the front and use the trim ring that comes with it. The American International is a rear mount kit which makes flush mounting look a lot better in my opinion. Especially because the CB doesn't come with a trim ring.

Most car audio shops around here had the kit in stock but if you can't find one you can order it from here:

I was scared to use a cut off wheel or anything like that because I didn't want to cut too much off and wanted it to stay level. So I took my time and filed the sides down. It probably took me 30 minutes or so but I really am happy with the end result. In my pictures it kind looks out of place but in real life it almost looks factory.

By the way, how do you like your CB? How long is your antenna and what brand is it?

Nice looking install!
Any issues with onstar operation thru the interface?

[moabxj01]

I don't really use onstar and don't plan on it in the future so I wasn't too concerned but for the little bit that I talked to them while testing it seemed fine.

Thx for the info.. Love the CB.. It's been tweaked a bit.. Clay's CB..

My antenna is a 102" whip mounted on the rear bumper with a barrel spring.. It's got a bit of reach out and grab to it..

Didn't quite come together the way I had invisioned it, but I'm diggin' it.. I'd jacked up and was holding the part upside down when I started carving the hole out a little larger for the CB to slip through, so I ended up with it on top rather than the CD player.. Had it all back in the dash with the CD on top and the dash trim wouldn't pop back on.. Was sitting there banging my head thinking it was the wrong part, then it occured to me what I'd done.. D'oh..

Thanks again for the info on the part..!!!

Looks good man. I think it cleaned it up a lot. I almost made the same mistake but for some reason I decided to test it before I started sanding and figured it out. Still looks great with the cb on top.

I am in moab right now... Just got done with Hell's Revenge. Tons of fun... Trying to figure out what trails to do tomorrow... Anyone have any opinions?

[Crash ?]

Hey, just noticed you were from Utah..

Gonna be a couple of folks from the MidSouth (self included) that'll be over in Moab the first week of June if ya wanna make your way back down to Moab and run a few trails with us.. Or even show us where to go for that matter...

[moabxj01]

Yeah I might take you up on that. I don't know how good of a guide I'd be but I would definitely run with ya. I think the local Hummer dealer is planning a run for sometime in June. I'll find out some dates and let you know.
