My son and I install a new Pioneer media center in our new shop truck. Upgraded speakers / sub and backup camera to follow. Stay tuned for more s10 related videos.
Dude this is an awesome video for several reasons. First you communicated expertly how to install this unit into a 2nd Gen S10. Believe it or not it is not well known that double din radios can go into these trucks. Even the "experts" at the large on line audio stores do not seem to know this. Secondly you had your very bright sons there to help you. I always enjoy seeing dad's teach their son's things they need to know. I am going to subscribe to your channel for that reason alone. I have one other comment that I would hope you would not take offense to. Changing out the steering wheel with the airbag for that (albeit very nice looking) sport steering wheel flies in the face of your stated objectives at the beginning of the video- primarily taking safety for your son into top consideration. Air bags are no joke. They save injuries and lives every single day in America.
Seriously thank you for all that. I really appreciate it. And wink wink the 94 didn’t have a factory airbag. I would never compromise the safety of my children. We are looking to expand the channel and that particular son is going to college for mechanical engineering. I’m so proud of him. Thanks again.
I have the same dash in my 96 GMC Sinoma SLS Highrider 4X4 Ive been wanting to find something to install like I have in my 02 Sonoma 4X4 4 door . I had Best Buy install my big screen blue tooth stereo and dash speakers , I did my own door speakers 🔊 its great can answer the phone hands free .
@NiceGarage truck was originally a 2.2 5 speed. Am going to a 5.3/4l60e. Since I needed a shifter I swapped in a floor shift center console from a Jimmy and some bucket seats from a Cavalier. Seats bolted right in with no mods. Used the S10 seat tracks on the Cavalier seats. I had to drill a couple holes to mount the shifter and console to the floor. Also swapped in a 90s 4 spoke steering wheel because the 94 s10 wheel was UGLY. Swapped in a 8.5 rear from a 02 4.3 5 speed s10 and Blazer dual piston calipers up front. Still very much a work in progress but should be a fun ride when I'm done.
@stevenmeeks8954 not yet, getting close, though. All I've got left is to clean up the wiring and make an exhaust for it. Just installed the fuel system yesterday. New tank, pump, filter and lines. The fuel level gauge even works.
@@stevenmeeks8954got it running and driving. Just have to finish up some wiring. Crappy aftermarket cd player in it doest work. Am looking at a double din Android touch screen.
All the ones I’ve seen that were larger than a typical double din usually have a single or double din housing, I think there is room for the screen in front of the Metra kit
I’m wanting to install a double din on my 94 sonoma also did you just color match all wires? Red to red, yellow to yellow etc.? Or was there a wire that you had to wire another way such as an ignition switch wire?
Good question, the install kit was for a standard double din. I think 7” is still a double din correct? And I believe there was room for modification. Hope that helps
The install kit is still available on Amazon. I bought it a long time ago. The radio I don’t like but it came from Crutchfield. It was the cheap one and it different from all my others. Wouldn’t recommend this model.
Def not this radio, I’m a huge Pioneer guy but this one is bottom of the barrel. Can’t change the colors of the buttons and just too simple for me. If you were going with pioneer, get a higher model.
@@NiceGarage shooo okay. I just finished installing new powered Latch assembly for the doors. Gonna take out the carpet and clean. Later I'm gonna install the new OEM front dash and other parts.
@@NiceGarageneed an update on the s10 man. Also I'm sure you found out how difficult it is to replace that dash. If you haven't mess with it yet... That dash is glued on to the metal frame. My dash is non existent, so I'm trying to find a donor or pay a auto upholstery n modern the interior dash n door panels.
www.grantproducts.com I don’t believe they sell the same one any longer. I have a bunch of colors but they’re new old stock. Occasionally thought they pop up on eBay
Do you mean screen size? Standard double din, so it the screen is bigger than ours, but still standard, it will fit. Actually I didn’t like that radio so we bought a different one. I’ll do a review of that one and install of new one
