Well folks, here it is... It sounds and looks awesome and the display, which I wasn't too sure of at first, is perfect and I have it wired into the lights so when I turn the lights on, the display dims. Sounds great and boy does it crank. If I knew it was going to sound this good, I might not have purchased the Clarion sub because when I turn off the Sub-output there is still loads of base. The longest process of this whole installation was trying to get the subwoofer dialed in properly on the back of the sub! There was a fine line between not enough bass and WHOA! rattle my head... But I eventually got it down and set all the filters and gains to where it sounds fantastic...

Did I mention how good it sounds? LOL

I just might be the first F150 owner of one of these units also! I am a little concerned about one thing though, under the XM section, the manual stated that this unit does NOT support scrolling text but they say it does on their website... I sure hope it does or Pioneer will be getting a call from me for false advertisement and they owe me something good.. Like a DVD player! Bwaaahahahaaa

Without further adieu, here ya go...

 

Looks good cheese head.... bout time. Hell, it looks so good, it looks just like mine! HA! In fact, while you're not looking, I might swap it out but, of course, I won't do that until you get the scrolling XM receiver.

Muhahahhaa

Nice man...

Whaaaasssssuuuupppp...

No worries on the sub hookup... but like I said above, I hope that scrolling bullet in the manual was wrong...

I ended up just using my brain ( and gawd it hurt too) and just clipped all the speaker leads runing to the Sub on the T-Harness, ran a RCA from the HU SW-out and then like I said, adjusted the amp attenuator on the rear of the Clarion... I really am amazed at how much better it sounds, the highs will about blow you out of the cab and pop your ears if you turn the gains all the way up and the lows/bass will shake your eyes to where you're almost seeing blurry for a sec when it hits.. Now, I don't drive like that, just doing the LAS test... You know, Loud As S*** test!!!!

Later,

Let us know how it all works out... I hope it goes well...
