In dash cd / Dvd install help

[TimestandStil77]

What's up guys,

Ok here is my situation. I have never installed 2 single din units into an explorer. I have a Pioneer DEH-8200 in right now, and i just purchased a boss single din in dash dvd player for my tv's. Now here are my problems, and if you see any other ones that my occur please let me know =) ....
1) Do I need a special dash kit to install both these units together?
2) since my DEH 8200 does not have an aux audio input , I will have to Y off my RCA cables (3 sets front rear sub)so that when i turn the DEH 8200 off I will be able to turn on the other unit , hoping it will work. Do you see any problems doing this?

Any advice or experience with this would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,

Nick

I am not to familar with the 97's but do you have a single DIN slot, Double DIN, or DIN and 1/2. I have seen two single DIN's put in a double DIN in my friend's eclipse but he had to make a special bracket between the two to hold them at the right angle. And to your second question yes, you will have to Y off the RCA's. It theoretically should work. Best thing would be to wire them together like that before you install them in the dash and see if they work. Good Luck!

I actually just bought this box that gives me an aux input into my Pioneer DEH 8200 that plugs in where the cd changer control harness goes. So that solves my problem of having to Y the rca's off, now i have to find out if i need a special dash kit to put 2 cd players in. (btw, its a double din opening)

any help would be greatly appreciated

thankyou

Hmmmmm my 97 only has a din and a half opening. With a pioneer HU in mine i only have room for a half din EQ. Yes the adaptor is CD-RB20 with a changer hooked up and a CD-RB10 without a changer.It hooks up to your IP bus on the reciever.
