Finally found a video on someone installing a similar stereo on a Ranger. Glad you pointed out a way besides the metra kit, almost gave up on the project. Thank you so much!

Wow ! I just bought a 99 XLT Ranger for my farm and I'm thinking in getting an android screen radio for it to replace the radio it has, I just can believe I have the same Pioneer radio you had. LOL Great video man !

I have a Ranger 1995 and buy a JVC KW-AV61BT it comes with the same plastic adapter you show and fits perfect without any gap.

Beautiful video

I just finished an install for a guy, he had a 2005 ford ranger. I tried 3 different scosche kits and none fit. Bought the American International and 2 Metra kits. Used 1 Metra but had 2 trim but its seems snug but the very bottom of the corner of the kit sticks out slightly because of the curve of the dash trim/bezel.

get good double sided tape,you can get the clear one and use the trim ring. you just have to make sure the area is free of oil,wax dirt and it should stick pretty good.

I'm thinking about buying a 03 Ford Ranger and wanting to know did you have to buy anything else like any adapters, I'm thinking about putting it on by myself or have someone else put it on since this is my first time putting a aftermarket radio in. If there is anything that I'll be needing to get it to fit can you please tell me or link the product. Thank you.

I bought a sony. My installer never removed all that front panel . Just fitted the radio in after some trimming, and the radio is kind of loose, easy to remove if stolen.

I know this video is 5 years old but for anybody else mounting a new Double Din and has gaps or a rough bezel edge you can strip the insulation off an electrical cord, cut it down the center then glue it in place over the bezel edge. Fit it like a saddle on a horse. If you have them, some small clamps will be helpful to hold the insulation in place while the glue sets up. The clamps also flatten out the insulation a bit so it doesn't look rounded. Cheers! EDIT..I Missed the part where you mention the wire jacket....oops.

where can I get the american international mounting kit you used

Great video! Its cool how it's got the Ford logo on start-up. Is that standard or a setting it comes with? Very nice back up camera as well. Thats a big help on the trail.

Very helpful i just bought the same radio intalling on ford explorer

Where do I get those brackets where they snap into place like factory

What center console did you put in?

If I do this, I'll be switching from the same aftermarket cd player lol. '07 Ranger but still same set up.

Lots of helpful info here many people might not realize, I came here looking for alternatives to shaving trim on factory dash bezel in Ranger but when I installed one of the android systems like that in my Tacoma that front bezel gave me a fit. Other than those little pieces of info I would never jerry rig my shit like this lol, I plan on putting the factory radio back in when I sell the truck.

Also mazda b series and mercury mountaineer

How did u install the backup camera?

anyone know the width of these radios

How does the backup camera work if it’s no camera on the vehicle my default? I have a 2002 Ford Explorer would it work on mine?

What size double din fits

Can anyone tell me how to wire the after market plug to the Ford plug for a 97 Ford explorer. I dont know what wire does what lol

what the name of that harnest

How’d you get the ford boot up? Haha now i want it

l wouldn't worry about it really. l mean it's a ford ranger, nobody gets in one of those things with clean and beauty in mind. it won't hurt anything if there is a little gap.

What is the plastic wire used to fill in the edges?

BLACK RTV shit i need that bratcket lets see how mine fits flo green face cover

Where can I get the radio and how do I got about hooking the back up camera up? I have a 99 Ford ranger

You planning on making that video with all the features it has? And how it is now after having it for so long?

Doubt you'll respond to this as this video is 3 years old, but I'm going to attempt installing a pioneer AVH-X490BS in my 97 explorer and I can't seem to find the wiring harness/tools to change it out. I'm trying to get everything from amazon, as I have rewards points that I'm using to get it for free. If anyone can help me out It'd be extremely appreciated. Or can anyone point me in the right direction for the connections if they aren't available on amazon?

How long did it take to modify the trim to get it to fit I ordered one a week ago. For my 02 ranger I thought they were a full 2 Din....

does anyone know that some at 91.10 station at 18:45?

Is the wiring pretty much self explanatory? Did you have to buy any adaptors or anything? I have the same truck and i want to install one.

Would that fit on a 2003 Ford Explorer ?

Could you pass me the radio connection diagram?

What size was the unit you put in?? The dimensions??

The dash kit is come with the stereo?

What brand of radio is that? What back up camera are u using?

Looks really good did the backup camera come with the headunit or did you buy that separate

About to buy this radio for my 2010 Ranger XLT. How's it holding up so far?

man i feel like shipping this damn android radio right back to amazon now

Selling the old pioneer radio? Lol

Should have used something like jb weld. Then paint it

Is this a 6.2 or 7 inch screen?

What tool did you use to cut bezel?

How is the android radio? You like it?

Use the one ut came with

That would NOT fit a 1998 Explorer (2002 Crown Victoria uses the same radio) because those are beveled down to a single DIN just a few inches in to clear the HVAC vents.

it wont be here tell next month but i knew there would be complications with the face plate (painted seahawks metalic blue with a neon green pin stripe)so i will slowlly and evanly remove matirial tell it fits leaving top better than the non visable bottom and fabricate metal brackets for the sides but so i dont remove to mutch il lick it with my toung tell it fitts instead of my dremel hey the face plate has 3 coats of clear GO HAWKS!

So did the GPS work ok?

Shit I just got a Android 7.1 with dvd, gps, backup cam included, obd2, blue tooth for $19.99 shipped to Canada.

Just have some gaps and stuff 100 dollar bills in it to keep it snug.

Experience bad luck, advise possible viewers

That was a Christian radio station in the first one ❤
