Head unit doubt

Hi there.
I want to replace my cabasse + 6cd loader with a new double din unit, and i've been looking for the Pioneer AVIC-F10BT for now...

Is it a good alternative ?
Next i'll be replacing the speakers for the pioneer ones made for the renault (front: TS-Q131C back: TS-E1396)

In the case i'll install this system, are these the parts i need for the "perfect fit" ?

steering wheel controls adapter

Thanks in advance.

the Hu is very good, but Pioneers are very slow when you start filling the memory...

and the facia plate frame is not the only thing you need.

you need the cage that it fits too (might eb a stndard thing) and you need the sub- frame. Have a look at my post in the for sale section. there are 2 plastic section you need.

there is a metal cage that comes with the HU, but the plastic trim fits to the metal cage...and from memory they are not the same. you would need the same cage that the plastic frame fits too.... plus the internal sub frame other wise you will have a 10mm gap around the HU and the plastic frame.

cant find the link...have a look at some of the other double din threads
