Watch a full tutorial as a 2009 Dodge Avenger will have a Pioneer AVH-P4400BH Double Din Touch Screen Radio installed. This is the "non Amplified" model of this Avenger. If you have the amplified version, you will need a different wiring adapter (See below). In addition, this install requires a steering wheel control adapter, and a Pioneer parking brake bypass.
This video applies to Dodge Avenger models for years 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014. This video also includes dash trim and stereo removal, complete installation, wiring, and testing.

Do you knew if the new radio you linked will fit in 4x8 opening such as the avenger?
ALRIGHT ! I just installed a cheap but functional touch screen radio in my cheap 2010 Dodge Avenger. Radio cost $45 and came with two remotes and a back up camera. It actually works. Couple things. Make sure you order the aftermarket harness for your car. If it doesn't come with an antenna adapter, get one of those too. When you pull out the factory radio like you see here, they antenna is the WHITE one. There is a yellow one, don't know what it is, don't care. These cheap radios have one big problem...the instructions. You will find the aftermarket harness will leave you with several unused wires, like a blue one and a couple more. Those are for power antennas, amps etc. Don't worry..BUT make sure you connect the yellow wire as that's the one that keeps power to the radio when you shut it down so you don't lose your settings. AND NOW THIS. The radio I bought came with the camera cable with RCA jacks at either end and a short red wire just dangling at either end. Instructions said "you no use these red wires so no mind". Alright but I used them. Where? OK there is a pink wire in the harness that has to be part of the camera operation when you put your car into reverse. INSTEAD OF cutting into the harness under the carpet, I ran the cable to the rear and hook the camera power cord right up to the left hand taillight backup light. WHY NOT! Now, beside the red power wire for the camera, you have to hook that PINK wire up somewhere. SO instead of running another cable, I hook the "you no use these wire" at the backup light along with the camera power wire. Up front where you plug the cable into the radio, THAT's where I hooked up the pink wire. A lot of these radios will be different, maybe each brand and certainly each brand of car. The cheap radio sounds good, it pairs up with my android phone AND has a back up camera. All told with the dash kit, and the harness kit, it totaled around $70...I didn't charge myself for labor. If you can check the measurement of the opening. This brand was about 1/8" too narrow top to bottom so the plastic face plate had to be trimmed a little. Just the width of the radio so you don't have a gap on the bottom left and right were the mounting kit has the "filler" panels on either side.
Thank you a whole bunch for saying to connect the ACC to cig lighter plug. Had the kit and all set to go but not a whisper beside fuse box under hood on easy where to.
Well done, very thorough! I'm saving this video for when I actually find the time to do it.
U did a really good job my man keep up the good work
This was a really great video , thank you so much it really helped ALOT !
Exactly what I was looking for!
Thanks for the help
Awesome video! Thanks!
Thanks for helping!
Thanks for the video, we were stuck on the red wire!
I wish I was where ever you are💙
What if the radio I'm getting features a steering wheel control adapter with its harness? Do I need to get another adapter like yours?
How do you figure out why it stops working? My husband was driving and it shorted out on him. I want to fix it
Got the Radio installed following your directions. Everything works great! Thank you. Funny thing, I went to best buy for my parts but instead of helping me, the guy tried to sell me on a whole new radio and parts, thanks to your video, I knew I didnt need. Now I got a whole new project. So here is the question; Can you install fog lights and a auto light switch on a 2013 dodge avenger se. This is the basic car that doesnt have all the bells and whistles but Im thinking the bells and whistles can be added by me. So is this possible?
Possibly. This was a customer vehicle so i no longer have it in my possession, but the sky is the limit. Always possible to add fog lights.
Yeah you can
If I'm not gonna use the factory steering wheel controls, do i need that module. Can I just run the radio harness and antenna, should it still work.
And will you need the factory harness that came with your car or can you use the grey one instead.
I have an 08 charger rt and it came with the same stereo but the wiring harness that’s connected has a connection that’s just for the speakers. Is there a special harness or adapter that I need to get
Hey provo, was wondering why in your video the white and gray wires were not connected instead capped off, I believe those are speaker wires correct? wasnt sure if connecting/leaving them disconnected would make any difference
Hello, I like so much your videos, I have a question, I want to buy a Radio for my Dodge Avenger 2012, an s its size is 7.01 x 3.94 x 2.17 inches, is this size good for the Dodge Avenger 2012? Thank you.
Thanks 😊
Love the video but it would be so much better if you could set the phone/camera up so we could actually watch you do the work as you do it
why would you go for the heated and leather seats, manual / automatic transmission but not get the touch screen radio lol
Where did you connect the red ignition wire to on the connecter?
What is the largest touchscreen I can get put in a 2014 Dodge avenger? I was told from if audio installer 7”
I can’t seem to find a store that sells the wire harness
If I could make a recommendation for your wiring style, I know this video is over a year old but the military splice and tape method is a lot better for tapping into wires such as your cigarette lighter. Basically the same idea as using a t tap without all the bs that comes along with t taps. Other than that great video and everything was explained really well
The 13-14 ones are different to disassemble Im not sure about the rest
What they'll, 6 CD changer , is that factory unit ? Where can I get one for a 2007 ? Thanks , GREAT VIDEO
So I tried to do this but I got no power to the radio
Can you do a video or help with doing the “BIG 3” on a ‘14 Avenger ?.? Desperately needing help
Could you confirm, if you don't plan to play DVD while driving (or at all) you can skip doing the bypass module correct? Also how do you identify if your vehicle is amplified vrs non-amp?
Yep, you can skip the bypass, however, i still suggest hooking the parking brake wire to you brake because it may unlock a other potential options in your system settings. Generally, the Boston Acoustic branding would be somewhere in the car, or a similar 3rd party company to indicate the amplified system or not.
i have a 2007 dodge nitro.. we hooked everything up but the stereo doesn't turn off now unless you hold the power button down on it. also, the "converter" for the stereo controls has a "key 1" wire "key2" wire and a ground. It isn't turning off now with the key... can you help me please.
Orange and gray or Orange and white to the AWSC-1 ?? There is also a white red wire there
how did you get the sound? My radio goes on but there's no sound from the speakers. Is it computer controle?
You should solder and heat shrink rather than crimp connectors. They eventually rattle loose or crimping them too hard will weaken the wire at that location and frey loose. Just a pro tip 😉
You should watch our most recent videos then 😉
Mine did not come with a long red ignition wire bro...was that an error? I have a 2010 avenger
How do i know if i have the amplified version
Will any pioneer radio fit this car?
Hello, I have the same radio model and I can't put the songs in random mode when i listen a cd, how is it done? I don't have rnd button nor pty
I did al your steps and it works but when I turn the car off in order to make the radio work again I have to unplug the radio fuse and plug it back on the make it work PLEASE HELP
I have an 08 Chrysler Sebring will this install info work for my car. Also what fuse can I connect my remote wire to?
Yes similar radio, the install process will be slightly different. Head over to Sonic Electronix to verify all the parts that you will need for the install using their vehicle fit guide. use coupon code ProvoBeast to save some cash at checkout.
hey... I have the same vehicle. I have the pioneer dmh 160bt. I also have a different steering wheel control module. My problem is I can't get my steering wheel control to work and also my clock keeps resetting every time I turn the car off. can you help?
Would this work on dodge avenue 2003?
Hello, does Pioneer radios not pick up FM stations well. I just had mines installed and I can barely stand to listen to the FM radio due to constant fading in and out. Stations worked well with stock radio in same area before.
Need to re wire antenna
love the video u have a question I do have 7inch double din on my 2011 dodgeavenger but the system it self dosnt come with 3.5mm socket but there 3 wiring say steering wheel control on the radio diagram so I just buy same module same like you have do I have to connect and wire it up manually pls. help thanks.
Yep, you will have to wire it up manually, similarly to the one in the video. But be sure that the module you order is compatible with your 7" radio. You can check at the Metra Axxess ASWC-1 website.
Provo Beast Audio Installation thank you very much sir.
I got a 08 dodge avenger my 7inch screen want fit
Provo? Provo Utah? Lol can I take my car to you.
Is there an alternative way to not having to disconnect the battery? In such a pain in the butt location to do a stero install.
You can disconnect it under the hood just behind the air filter
Can you help me with my dodge avenger?
So I hooked up an amp and sub to my avenger the way you did on that posative terminal and it keeps completely killing my battery after I start my car sometimes I'm not sure if it's getting a power surge or something but I cant seem to figure it out
Did you figure it out ? Having the same problem
I have a 2008 Dodge Nitro and I cant get any power. What did you connect the long red wire to beside the red on the pioneer harness?
Since these model year vehicles operate using a data canbus signal, you need a "smart Harness". To avoid purchasing one of those harnesses, you can run a long red wire to a switched power source, like the fuse box, to tap into accessory power.
I know its a old video but i just ordered a metra radio from amazon for my 2013 dodge avenger sxt do i follow all these same steps ?
How did it go?
Hello PB, what type and/or name brand is the mounting kit?
All info on parts used is in the description. Should help you out.
Can you install a single din stereo into a 2012 Dodge Avenger? And what would I need to install a radio into the car? Trying to do this for my mom.
You can use a single din radio but you should also get an adapter as well. It's basically a pocket that takes up the rest of the space.
You didn't say where the illumination wire connects too? Any help would be great thanks.
Illumination works differently on a touch screen radio. When it powers up, you can either manually dim the screen or if you're really good with wiring, run a dimmer line from your light switch.
I am so confused about the micro bypass. I can't find the video about it. Can u please explain

How do I turn the radio light off when I turn off my car? The radio is off but the light stays on, and it runs my battery dead. I have a 2007 Dodge Caliber with the same radio you just installed.
Put your light on automatic and when you turn off your car just open one door and it should turn off
How do you know if you have the amplified version? Assuming that is an option from the dealership?
You should see an oval logo saying Boston near your windows. At least for the 2010 model.
will steering wheel control mod work on 2005 magnum
Yes, the Aswc - 1 will work with the magnum.
Is it the same for a 2010 Dodge Challenger? And do I have to get an installation kit?
Head over to Sonic Electronix and use the vehicle fit guide to ensure you order the right parts. For the technique, it will be very similar.
I just bought a 2008 Dodge Avenger. The major problem of the car is the frame or most likely the subframe is in terrible condition. Other than that the interior is mint, motors perfect, have some minor problems the trunk won’t open, shifter is stiff, if the car is on park or reverse it will always say reversed, tires worn out. Bought it with $450 as project car
How many miles was on it,
@@40streetblack79 wrecked and junked. i think it had like 150k.
What is those side black bars after you put in the radio . That wasn’t there before with the OEM radio
It's called a dash kit, and all parts used are linked in the description.
How do I know if I have the amplified system or not?
Did you ever find out? I believe the amp would be behind the glove compartment to the right side. You would have to remove the glove compartment to see it. If it's not there, there will be a plug in adapter where the amp would plug into. Also there is a horizontal cover up top that houses the cabin filter that should be replaced every so often.
Just to confirm this would work for a 2012 Dodge Avenger SXT right?
Yep
I have a 2013, which is about the same as a 2012, and I can tell you now that the entire center dash/console is completely different. You don't need to remove anything between the seats like this one - just the section with the air controls first, then the panel on the top of the dash, then you can pull out the panel over the radio.
okay, i have a 2012 dodge avenger and i used the same wiring harness you did but i didn't use the parking brake relay, steering wheel control module, or an antenna adapter, and it won't come on. HELPPP!
Where did you hook up the ignition red wire? That seems to be your problem
@danedollar how iz ur vehicle holding up, any major issues with the vehicle,l heard subframe was a real problem with these cars? Any problems u can elaborate?
@@40streetblack79 it’s good haven’t had a problem since then and still running everything the same
Is there a certain size bracket i have to get
Head over to Sonic Electronix and use their vehicle fit guide. They will direct you to which parts are required for your install. You can also use coupon code ProvoBeast at checkout to save some cash!
Idk if I was blind or something but is that 7” stereo? Did you get the doodle din kit or just removed that metal peace out and slid it in there? If you did it without the double din kit does it slide or move/jerks around??
the screen size can vary but the chassis size of the radio is still a standard double din.
@@ProvoBeastAudioso the 7 inch touchscreen fits?
Is it the same format for the dodge nitro
Yes, very similar.
i own a dodge avenger 2008 and was planning to install a BOSS Audio 850BRGB but didnt know if it were able to fit becouse i couldnt tell if my avenger was a single or double din ...
any advise you can give me?
Any standard double din size will fit, all parts we used are listed in the description.
thanks
really healpfull advice bro🙂
What the blue wire on the harness? It seem extra to me and no explaination
It's either for a power antenna or an amp depending on your car. If you have neither just let it dangle, you don't need it.
How do you know what size radio you need. I don’t wanna buy one and it doesn’t fit lol
The dash kit accommodates any standard double din radio. If you have chosen a cheap Chinese no-name branded radio, those often are not standard double din sized and will not fit right. Major brands will fit fine (Pioneer, Sony, kenwood, JVC, Alpine, etc)
Hi I want this in May car
I used your videos it install everything, but can the steering wheel controls change songs on the left side?
Yes, with the ASWC-1 adapter.
Thanks for reply and fixing there f**k up’s in the instructions.
Thanks for reply and fixing there f**k up’s in the instructions.
Thanks for reply and fixing there f**k up’s in the instructions.
Do the seek buttons on the other side of the wheel work as well
yes if you are using the steering wheel control module adapter (ASWC-1) or a similar product.
Thanks for the reply I figured it out a while ago. The 2014 model is a bit different than this video
I need help with my Dodge caliber 2007 now i have the wires connection right but it isn't getting power
Following
Use a multi meter to check your connections. You will need constand 12v on the yellow, a good ground on the black, and switched 12v on the red wire (that connects into the cigarette lighter) with the key. Any one of those three incorrect, radio will not function.
I have an orange wire on my radio harness. It says it's for illumination.
There is no orange wire on the other harness, but there is a blue one. Not sure what it is for. Could it be the illumination wire? Appreciate any help!
Did you figure this out I have the same problem thanks
@@tonygallagher3800 I don't even remember this post. I have to rewatch the video. I'll get back to you.
@@tonygallagher3800 Okay...
So this was with the Avenger. It was my son's car. We were having major problems with it. Finally, Dodge had a recall for these vehicles and they fixed the problem, or problems.
He no longer has the vehicle. I'm sorry I can't help you with the radio issue, but if you do start to have problems like the car dying, the horn honking, and just other weird stuff, take it to Dodge and they should fix it.
Idk how long these recalls are good for. It's been probably close to a year since.
Where does the blue wire on my harness (power antenna) get attached to if anywhere ?
If your radio doesn't have a blue wire, just tie it into the red wire or just tape it off. If you don't have an actual power antenna (motorized) or if your antenna doesn't require power (sometimes they are amplified antennas), then just tape it off.
The stereo I bought has a blue wire that's labelled "ant cont" so would that be what I should attach it to?
Just tape it off.
Provo Beast Audio Installation alright, thank you very much !!!
Did u need dash kit for it to fit?
Yes, parts listed in description. Metra 95-6511 Chrysler/Jeep Dash Kit
Hi, I know this is a old video but I was wondering how will I know that I have the amplified version of the car?
Usually "Monsoon" can display on the factory radio, or the logo may be present on the stereo or speaker grills.
Provo Beast Audio Installation one more question, I’ve tried to charge my phone through my cig lighter and it won’t charge. If I put the ignition wire on it will it be about to turn on the stereo?
Provo Beast Audio Installation typing that out made me realize how dumb that question might be lol
Well if the cigarette lighter isn't working, then it won't trigger the radio properly. Either a bad fuse or a bad phone adapter. Check before you connect the ignition wire to it.
Provo Beast Audio Installation ight word
I have a 2007 Dodge Nitro. The wiring is basically the same, however I can't figure out what to do with the Blue "Antenna Remote" wire on the new Dodge wiring harness (Metra 70-6522). I couldn't tell what you wired it up to in the video. The Pioneer MVH-210EX harness has a Blue/White wire for "System Remote Control". Do I wire it to that?
Did u figure it out?
@@marymorales327 Yes. Connect the blue wire to the other blue/white wire on the harness. The Dodge Nitro has a "powered" antenna. Without the blue wire being connected your radio reception will be very poor. I also ended up using the PAC RP4-CH11 Radiopro4 to retain the steering wheel radio controls.
@@sirc625 can you show me what you did... mine doesn't turn off now with the key. i have to use the power button on the stereo. i have to stereo controls, but it has "key 1" "key 2" and ground wire.... i cant find a correct video anywhere
@@cryptochase509 For it to turn off/on when you turn off/on the ignition you need to connect the RED wire to an AC power source. I connected it to the wire used for the cigarette lighter.
@@sirc625 so I have a pink wire from the deck and a red wire from the harness, I just Tue those into the power from the cig lighter?
I have a 08 Dodge Nitro R/T with a Pioneer double din and everything works fine except when I get phone calls I cant hear them but they can hear me. The GPS has no audio either. I also believe something in the double din is shorting out the car and it (the car) shuts off on me out of nowhere.
Sounds like a hot mess. I'd take it to your local audio shop.
If you have sound when listening to music but nothing on the phone, you most likely have a problem with the radio itself, or the external mic is bad or not connected. If it's a built in mic, it's again most likely a bad head unit, radio. If it's shorting out and shutting down your car, you have a more serious problem than the mic and GPS audio.
@@Theywaswrong the problem with the car shorting out got resolved but the issue with the phone calls and gps is still going.
I have this car, I'm starting to think the whole car is held together with nothing but clips lol.. maybe the tires are held on by clips too G's lol (sorry i'm just watching your videos, not learning anything cause I'm ignorant, nothing you're doing wrong; but i'm trying).. think I'll get my dream stereo installed professionally) as I'll just kick it. No patience.
Same here 🙄😩
itsonlymyopinion ok lmao
Same lol question, does anyone's trunk leak when it rains???
@@kelisreal bruh it’s been two years but YES
Ok I matched all the colors for the stereo install but the red wire is only on one side and it's not getting no power to turn the after market head unit on period
Right, either you need a smart harness, or connect the red wire to an accessory wire in the fuse box or at the power socket.
@@ProvoBeastAudio what color is a accessory wire? My amp isn't turning on either. Ok so at the Time of me unhooking the unit I noticed a blue wire tapped into a wire coming from the lighter area that was capped off, why I uncapped and pulled apart idk would that be a accessory wire?
Run that red power wire down to the cigarette wire. Some or most aftermarket wire harnesses don't include the power in the harness housing. It's by itself, so either run it to the fuse box or just run it down to the cigarette lighter wire with an inline fuse. I think even Walmart would have an inline fuse gizmo.
How do you know if you have the amplified version rather than the non amplified verision
Typically, the amplified system is the Boston Acoustic system, the branding will be on the speaker grills or the radio.
Briton Holley how do i make the dvd work
Good video but dark
No anti theft? Or codes? I wanna replace mine for new one. And the audio car shop says its gonna cost me for codes and install. About 200 bucks
Nope, no issues. Just remove the battery before you install and you will be fine.
I wouldn't mess with my radio unless I get a professional to do it. Radio installations are fragile, it could shorten out something else
I do have a problem my stereo isn't turning on even tho it gets 12 volts connected
use a multi meter to test 12v on both your red ignition wire and your yellow constant power wire.
Provo Beast Audio Installation Thanks but I already tried that and it has good 12 Volts on both ends !!
Check your ground, check the fuse on the radio itself. Sounds like you may have a bad radio.
My cigarette lighter has constant power n radio stays on when car is off and keys out ignition. Alternate source?
Your red wire needs to be connected to a switched source. Use a multi meter or test light at the fuse box to find an accessory switch fuse, not constant 12v. Then use an “add-circuit” to tap into that source.
So can i use the cigarette lighter wire or no
@@chadherman1010 I figured it out.... You can still use the cigarette lighter wire if there is constant power when car is off. You have to switch the fuse location under the hood. Looking at the fusebox under the hood... There will be a 10 or 15a 2prong fuse that is inserted in to what looks like should be a 3 prong fuse. Just take the fuse out and insert it into the other side of the same 3prong. (Basically just sliding it over) Cigarette lighter still works but now it will turn off when you turn the car off! Hope this makes sense for you 👍🏾
what does the module do
Steering wheel radio controls. If your car is like mine and you have none, there is no module and no need for a module.
If I don’t have a panel tool what could I use ?
carefully use a flat head screw driver. protect the surfaces with painters tape.
Thank you ! It worked wonders! I had to take the dash apart in order to fix the AC knobs :( but I didn’t have any luck. It still messing ip
I can't find the dash kit like yours. Yours is flat, all the ones I've seen are round.
we used the Metra 95-6511 Chrysler/Jeep Dash Kit
Hey. Did you not have to get an interface?
When the guy brought it to us, he decided not to use the smart harness for it. Fortunately, this model wasn't the amplified version, so it was doable with the parts we had. The smart harness provides the R.A.P., dimmer, etc but the customer didn't care of any of those features. Best practice is to use a smart harness if possible on any vehicle with the can bus data system (like this vehicle).
Provo Beast Audio Installation cause we tried to put on in without the interface and my lights would dim and care would mess up so we should use the interface?
yes. If you have the non-amplified version, you will need this part: www.sonicelectronix.com/item_14514_Axxess-XSVI-6522-NAV.html use coupon code ProvoBeast to save some cash at checkout.
What size is the radio?
Standard double din, 7” screen
My parents went to Best Buy to get a radio Installed, now the battery drains every day, can’t figure it out
Sounds like a best buy special.
@@ProvoBeastAudio figured it out.. wasn’t the harness for the car and they spliced wires and wired up positive straight to battery😑
I have a question.... how many times are you going to say, " at this point." ?
At this point i'm not sure.
can i put a 7 inch screen in my dodge avenger 2010?
Did this work
Had a Sony stereo installed to replace factory stereo in 2014 Avenger battery keeps going dead, had new Interstate battery installed still drains. Had professionally installed by Design Rides in Grand Ledge, Michigan. Pulled factory amp fuse still died after charging, both radio and factory amp fuse pulled to test. Any ideas? I want to test for drain but the F@)$&$king battery is in the wheel well so can't get to negative terminal, is there a connection next to the positive jump point that can be used? I see some wiring harness ends next to the strut on the driver's side is this the ground from the negative cable?. Thank you
Yes, that is the negative ground to the cable by the driver-side front strut tower. Good luck to you man!
pinched the shit outa your thumb lol. take a small drill bit and go down through the nail to release the blood so its not tender
Great video but I will not attempt it
I just did for the first time ever. The wiring part was pretty simple if you have the right aftermarket harness.
