You need a single din head unit trim pack with an aftermarket harness, should be in the 30 to 50 dollar range

also the Pyle PLBT72G is a motorized monitor that slides out from the actual radio I don't think it needs such a big dash kit.

Its not the screen its that aftermarket head units are much more compact, the kit makes the dash flush with the new head unit and also usually comes with a colored harness and antenna adapter

Can you send me a link possibly?
You can find on amazon but i would advise checking local aftermarket electronics shops for cheaper, in my city one place wanted 120 for it and another wanted 35 bucks lol

Ps: i had good luck and picked up a used sony xplod unit off ebay 45 bucks, (i just wanted bluetooth) so the din kit ended up costing almost as much as the stereo lol, it puts out decent power tho

I'm not sure that Pyle is an upgrade for anything. Ya might wanna look at a better brand if you're gonna put in the effort. It's surprising how inexpensive nice head units are these days. I think I would trust a cheap Pioneer, Sony, Alpine or Kenwood before a Pyle but maybe things have changed since my old car stereo days.
