Default Radio Replacement

Late last year, I rebuilt a 4 Bose amplifiers and replaced the individual speakers with new Bose items.
Radio worked great for a few months, the just stopped altogether.


Since it was broke, I decided to update the system.
Parts used:
Head Unit: Pioneer DMH-2550NEX
Powered Sub: Pioneer TS-WX130DA
Backup Camera: Pioneer ND-BC8
Speakers: stock Bose units
Of course, the major install issues were getting the old tuner out from under the passenger side dash and trying to find room for the Metra adapting wiring harness. The Metra harness is made for all years and it's super long to reach the newer C4's with the tuner behind the pass seat.
I cut what I could, but the coax antenna lead and coax speaker lines couldn't be shortened.
The head unit fits with minimum clearance cuts in the back of the old radio opening. It does have a detachable screen, but I couldn't find enough room anywhere else to put the tuner section.
Otherwise, fits the radio bezel opening perfectly.
The sub is small, so its in the right rear corner of the back compartment.
Backup camera is centered above the tag.
