Here's the previous install in my old 2008 jeep compass if any one is interested
http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f98/inst ... ss-745237/
So this time It took me about 3 hours to install (ran into a issue with the rear radio support bracket you'll see below).
The parts I used are as follows:
1. Pioneer AVIC-x910BT v3.0 firmware
This install should be the same for the following models AVIC-F900BT, AVIC-F700BT, AVIC-X910BT, AVIC-X710BT, AVIC-F90BT & AVIX-F7010BT
2. METRA 95-6511 2007 DODGE/JEEP/CHRYSLER DOUBLE DIN KIT
3. CHYAH05 or CHYAH08 or C2R-CHY4 Premium Radio Replacement Interface Chrysler. I had a spare CHYAH05 so that is why i used it. Just make sure if you get the CHYAH05 that its connect has 2 rounded corners (there are 2 different versions of the connector). The older jeep radio connectors use perfect square connection.
4. Jeep RADIO Antenna Adapter Wire Harness Plug 2001-2011

Next i had to remove the driver side's windshield plastic cover. Pop the plastic tab in the center of it and remove the screw within it with a Philips screw driver. I wanted to run the microphone to the driver's side sun visor.
