It depends what year the van is,later ones inc mine use CAN-BUS so is quite difficult
i got a mobile auto guy to do it,
The pioneer's for sale now if anyone wants to buy it,details in the for sale section

The Van came with the standard Double din CD player, although this fine i wanted Hands free calling
So i bought a Parrot 3200ls,i've got one fitted in the car and they work really well,but as i was working away from home a bit more than usual i was using my TOMTOM go 710 which i used through out France last summer and it was faultless,i wanted something with built in bluetooth,sat nav all in one unit!
So i started looking around and came up with 3 units,Pioneer Avic D3BT,Pioneer HD3BT and Kenwood dnx7200
I could'nt find anybody local with these units on demo,i discounted the Pioneer HD3BT as it was way to expensive £1300 ,then the Kenwood as had heard of people having problems with the Bluetooth part of it
So that left the Avic D3BT, i trawled the internet, went on You Tube and managed to get hold of a little brochure just on this unit
After all that i bought one,i got it fitted and it worked really well, played dvd's, cd's, ipod control,and thats where it stopped and everthing else was a dissapointment
On the navigation front it was dvd based so you could not listen to cd while using it,the mapping was not 3d and the points of interest for banks,parking etc was shocking,the only two plus points were it never got me lost! and it had tmc traffic built in for free
On the Bluetooth side things were not good either as it did not support download of my phonebook ,but conversations were very clear
Also with the angle of the dash the screen was sometimes blinded by the sun or brightlight
So after 2 months with it i was thoroughly dissapointed
Then i started to look through the internet again for something else although i was warey of anything then and would not commit to anything until i had tried one out
I then found in America that Kenwood were bringing a new range out , this included Garmin powered Sat nav and Parrot Bluetooth
After searching everynight for weeks the new models eventually turned up in Europe on Kenwood Germany's website,this then gave me some definate models for Europe and had to wait until the UK's website had them on their's
After more Googling i found some UK based website's advertising the one i wanted for pre order,thats when i git some bad news,it was £1100
To say i was gutted was understatement
I was looking every night and then it came on the UK's website,and after being able to see it all in English it was all i wanted
Next there was a video review on You tube and i got more and more obssesed with it
Then i find Kenwood Premier dealers are promoting it on offer £999
I finished early on a Friday 3 weeks ago and went to Boundry garage in St Helens and there it was on display
It made the Pioneer i had in look like a 1970's Skoda and this was a 2008 Skoda,it was not in the same league
My credit card was nervous and used the demo unit to ring my mate and tell him about,he was long suffering having had to listen to me everyday going on about it all
I asked how much he could do me one for,he said they are on offer at £999, but i can do you one for £820,my credit card was out and pin no. in before i could change my mind
So here's the pic's
To say this is Ftitsking awesome is an understatement,it fits in the dash like it just rolled off the Production line,and the reverse tilt on the screen takes away all the glare

Since me installing mine, my long suffering mate has bought the Dnx5220bt for his Transit Connect and a kitchen fitter with a Vivaro (no accounting for taste) has bought one also
I should be on commission

rallye dale - that looks great!
It sure makes the Alpine 202E look ordinary
Alpine 202E
- face does not do reverse tilt
- Bluetooth module is useless
- facia surround - what facia surround? Your one looks factory!
But the Alpine was around half the price...
Nice bit of kit.

Latest update.....
Well, its not wheels!!, still cant make my mind up
Some of you might have read in another thread that last Saturday i went upto see Martin at Pendle Performance,it was a horrible day, pi**ing down so was difficult to post my comments any earlier
So on Monday when going to work i tried it a bit,whoahh,it pulls really well and the response is pretty much instant,today was a little bit wet and had the traction light flashing on the dash ,i know its not clever but what the hell
So all in all very pleased with the differance
Also connected the ipod upto the head unit and started to wire up the the rear view camera which also connects to the Kenwood
I have fitted the engine cover and really pleased with that,apart from t**sers at VW scratching it after only 2 weeks
Have been making a false floor with tube box and ladder compartment with two drawers under the floor for power tools,its still not finished but coming along,will get some pics up when come back from holiday
Next on the list are
Wheels
Set of Eibach or H&R springs
Maybe leather as the seats are a nightmare to keep clean
Velle headlamps
Front fogs
