Hi, I am currently looking to replacing my 1997 Toyota Camry LE's stock cassette player with a MP3 Deck and I am looking at these two ones below but I am not sure which one is better, please help me out! Thanks

I hate Sonys and I love Pioneers....so I vote Pioneer! In fact, that is the exact one I was looking at getting soon.

Thanks, any other opinion on the two?

Go with Pioneer.............You will be much happier.

I just installed the Pioneer MP3 CD Car Deck (DEH-4000UB) this weekend in my sons car. I have posted here about installing an alarm, but can't get any pics of the wires.

I installed the following:
Pioneer MP3 CD Car Deck (DEH-4000UB), with XM, iPoD, and two amps, with 2 - 12's in the trunk. Replaced all 4 corner speakers. Guttered all the wires and cables and ran all new. Two over 2 days, but well worth it.

You will have to remove several pieces of the interior, but it's rather easy. To run the amp power cables, you will have to drill through the firewall...where the clutch would be if manual.

Let's just say, it rocks.............Leaving no doubt.

Good luck...

instead of drilling a hole you can just follow all the other power cables through the firewall where there is a gasket on the drivers side.

I'm a big fan of pioneer but i would step up to another modle and get more features especially if you plan on building a bigger system later on

If running multiple amps, those multiple 4 gauge power cables might be a bit much for pulling through existing gaskets. I would prefer to see people keep the amp power cables separate. However, if you only running a simple 16 gauge wire...then by all means use what's existing.

I still got my P7800MP and I was going to get a P5000DVD later on when my money is right. I gotta save up for school though
