Just got my new Pioneer (DEHP77MP) headunit into my corsa c now!! Sounds so much better than standard one!!
Only thing is that the silver I sprayed the facia plate with is quite alot lighter than the dash! Doh! But looks better than just black IMO.




Next just need a nice sub in my boot coz already got JL components and Infinity 6x9's.

I've been looking at Apline subs, whats the difference between the type S and type R subs. They look same apart from the prices!!

Spray it with Vauxhall Smoke Silver Metallic. 95% match. You will only notice the difference in certain lights.

Did you need any extra leads for that or was it just a straight swap?

The surround is far closer to the right colour in real life.

Damn that cheap camera.

Looks like a much better match than mine!

ChazSXi - it works with all Pioneer HU's that are compatable with the pioneer infra-red remote.

Noonster19 - The infra-red eye thingy is just next the gear stick and handbrake. In that centre bit!
