Modular Installation Design: Pioneer’s Modular Solutions receivers are designed for applications, frequently newer vehicles, with limited depth behind the dash that prohibits the installation of a traditional single-DIN (2″) or double-DIN (4″) receiver.
This allows the sub-chassis to be mounted at a different location or alternative horizontal/vertical orientation inside the motor vehicle.
In addition, to simplify setup and boost vehicle programs, Pioneer and Metra Electronics are working to create Vehicle-Specific Radio Install Kits (coming shortly – check for vehicle compatibility) that make the Pioneer Modular Solutions recipients equally cosmetically incorporated and simple to set up.
Optional Extension Cables: It’s possible to install the DMH-C5500NEX with the LCD touchscreen attached to the chassis body or different from the chassis body.
Installations in which the LCD touchscreen isn’t connected to the chassis body and installed separately may necessitate Pioneer’s Pioneer’s CD-RGB150E extension cable or RD-RGB150A extension kit (both sold separately – see Accessories Tab).
Available Dash Kits: Metra’s radio and vehicle-specific setup kit will probably be required (sold separately – see accessories tab and await your car’s compatibility).

Or, you can customize your dash kit. Your vehicle’s factory dash panel will often have to be cut and modified.
