Hi all,

I'm a new member in this forum, and i'm a new owner of a Hyundai i30cw 2010.
tired of the built in radio system, i was interested in a 2 din solution and found this system from pioneer i put my eye on:
Pioneer avh-x4600bt - a new 2014 model.

in order to install a 2-din system i found i need to replace the facia of the console, and found out by looking in ebay sales that there is 2 sizes to choose from when ordering a new facia to my car model.
this is what was written:

"About head unit window size, 99% car audio head units (such as Pioneer, Alpine, Sony, JVC, Kenwood, Panasonic etc) have 2-DIN size: 173 x 98mm.
Most of 2-DIN head units made in China comes with size 178*100mm. If your headunit comes with this size, please tell us before purchase, we will try to arrange correct facsia for you. "


these are the system's measurements found on the pioneer x4600bt's owners manual:
chassis 178x100x165
nose 171x98x18

what is this "nose"? does it reffer to the motorized part of the system? and by this measurements, what side facia should i order?

another question is have anyone here experienced with pioneer systems and can you connect them to the wheel control?

in a short while i will u/l some pictures of my new ride 
thank you all for helping.

I can't help you, but several folks hereabouts have replaced their units.

The one you've chosen looks real nice

Hi Wolf

 

Can't help you, hope you find the answers in some of the other threads about stereo upgrade.

Just like the nose on your face, I would assume the nose is the protruding section of the front screen, as in these pics.

Because the nose (the part that protrudes) out is 98 deep I would go with the standard (more common) 173 x 98 size!
