Omg Crutchfield. Been using them since the 90s when I put a sweet Blaupunkt tape deck in my parents Chevy Celebrity station wagon. Brings back memories. Still ordering from them now and just can’t recommend them highly enough.

Well, using Crutchfield answered my question. When I put in my 2017 Chevy Equinox, I got a "we do not recommend replacing your radio" and shows no car stereos are compatible for my car.

@zaneparkinson 2 года назад

Is it possible to replace the main Equinox screen or at least swap it to the bottom position? Navigation and using the CarPlay screen seems very impractical when it’s that low in the driver’s view…

@etelele 3 года назад

Hi which lower dash kit did you use for this equinox can you provide the part number and link?

@bwood6337 3 года назад

Hey just so everyone knows a lot of newer head units that have a double din screen actually have a single din body (which is what the Crutchfield filter looks for) so if you filter out single din you'll be missing some of your options. If you want a double din screen then it's better to go to the screen size filter and select all sizes.

@robschaffer2189 5 лет назад

The tacked-on look of the microphone always bothers me. In my Fusion I mounted it to the rain-sensor housing to hide it but keep audio pickup quality. I just finished a VW Beetle and flush mounted the mic in the dash next to the radio face so that just the tip of the mic is exposed. It seems to work well and the body is hidden behind the dash face.

@rollingtones1 4 года назад

It is neater but most mics use noise cancellation and echo cancellation and they rely on the holes in the SIDE of the mic barrel to do that. Some mics have 2 or even 3 elements inside them, in a stack. I have tested it both ways and you are better off in terms of call quality to leave the side exposed, usually about 5/8".

@coltonadomatis3119 3 года назад

They don’t make this kit for 2010-17 GMC terrain’s/ Chevy equinox’s with a color screen. They only make this for mono screens. Also if you do this for a color screen wit the mono screen wire harness, you will lose radio lights/cup holder lights/ ac lights and a loud buzz in the speakers. After I called metra and they confirmed this is due to the wire harness. And if it couldn’t get worse they only sell a dash kit through metra which doesn’t have a cigarette lighter built in. Don’t spend $700 to find out they don’t make the dash kit or 3308G wire harness.They stopped making these parts due to not selling enough. Mark should’ve taken more time explaining the disassembly of the car rather than a speed through.

@chrishunsaker5526 3 года назад

From crutchfield. At first glance, you’d probably think that there’s no way to replace the factory radio in your Equinox or Terrain. Thankfully, despite a smoothly integrated factory dash that looks more than a little bit like a cyborg bounty hunter from outer space, you’d be wrong. There actually is a dash kit that will allow you to install a single-DIN (2" tall) or double-DIN (4" tall) receiver in your truck, plus a factory integration adapter that will let you retain the factory dash display, including the stock backup camera, HVAC info, and more.

I bought an 07 Tacoma and decided to buy and stay with the W4400NEX. I didn't see a reason to go to the 4500 because of the new weblink thing they had. Also, I have yet to hear if Android Auto wireless was supported outside of Google phones (I have a Samsung) so I'm happy with the 4400. Sadly, the Metra kit that Crutchfield offered was too cheap, pinched the hazard button, and didn't fit. Ended up going with a Scosche. First time dealing with iDatalink so that was a nightmare to work out......

Having the unit that low is pointless if plan on using it for navigation. Grom Audio makes a unit that replaced the computer portion of the factory unit and gives it the ability to have wireless android auto and apple carplay. It also upgrades your microphone and can support a front camera along with the factory rear backup camera. I have a 2012 GMC terrain and it works great.

I believe it’s because the climate controls and a few other things in the car (like vehicle settings) are all run through the main head unit, and nothing would work without it.

Now the antenna for satellite radio on the other hand, best to integrate into the vehicles stock antenna or to add the aftermarket one on the roof.
