I am replacing my 1999 OEM original head unit with a Pioneer DMH-2660NEX. I wanted HD radio, Airplay, double DIN...options were limited.
I bought an adapter to replace the right cigarette lighter with a male/female USB styled plug that will connect to AirplayUSB directly to the back of the head unit. The cigarette lighter power will be capped. This USB port will now be able to be used to connect my phone to AirPlay rather than having a to find/hide a dangling USB wire somewhere and then connect a cable from there to my phone. I'm just going for a cleaner look. Next is out to run the micrphone wire lol
Thoughts on removal of the cigarette lighter panel? It looks like the panel just pops off, or pulls off.
If it all works, I'll post some pictures. The radio, microphone, airplay...it all works but I want to get this setup complete and then figure out the Micrphone before putting everything all back. So far the HD radio is a noticeable improvement.
Thoughts?
