Installed Pioneer AVH-8400BH Today...

Looks good. What did you do with the old one?

Sold it for just a hair more than I paid for it.

Is that HU compatible with Droid?

Yes, but most features are meant for the iPhone

Did you use a mounting kit? Your install looks nice. I read on a Tundra forum that one kit works better than another. Don't remember the names but I'm not sure if that's an issue with GM trucks.

I used the Metra kit, but I've heard of people liking the scosche dash kit as well.

Which wire harness did you use Nate? I think there's a few out there for the gmo-04. I found one on Amazon for $80 but then found some used ones on ebay for $40-50. Not sure if it'll make a difference or not. Did you get a parking bypass and what steering wheel module did you use? Any other interfaces I need?

That's all you need. If you can get them used, I'd do it as long as you're sure they work.

Have you had a chance to use Navi thru your phone app? Just curious how it works? I'm still debating on what HU to get. I want Navi but I also don't want to spend $1k on a Kenwood. I heard Pioneer's Navi isn't great so that's why I considered Kenwood. But I keep coming back to this HU. I still have my iPhone but it doesn't have service. Most of the apps still work when I have WiFi.

Your iPhone would have to have service because it uses the data service to communicate and use the maps.

I've use it a few times and it's worked fine I also downloaded an app called GPS drive to use as navigation instead of just using the regular Google maps
