First Time Deck Install Questions

[gixxer]

Hello everyone,

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am looking to install my first deck. I have the base unit (no bluetooth) and the bench center console with the usb connector inside.

My factory setup is a picture below. I dont have bluetooth and just the usb in the center bench console.

I wanted to put in either the JVC KWX830 or Kenwood DPX303.

I have posted a pic of the two decks and what crutchfield says I need.

I want to be sure I dont need anything else and what's the best way to ensure the deck fits in the factory opening?

Is there anything else I need? I just want bluetooth and connect a samsung phone to it. If i can keep the factory usb for charging that would be great but i dont want to spend $200 for that.

Any help would be appreciated.

The console usb will still charge the phone.

The wiring interface doesn't look right to me. Certainly not the same as my 15. You will have to cut a bar behind the stock head unit to make the jvc fit.

Oh and the usb in the console will not transfer info unless you find the usb board and replace it. I think PCT on here found it. Don't have a link sorry.

Thanks, my biggest concern is that it will just charge. I'll be using bluetooth for connecting.
