Just for anyone that's decides you want to keep the Bose system . There is a business in Florida that will repair Bose system and and year over 90 I think will warranty the components for a lifetime. I had my Bose amps repaired all for 320$ and the factory system sounds better than a thought. Got a bluetooth /fm transmitter from amazon and phone and music plays through radio . adapter plugs right into cigarette lighter.Just passing that on.
Started the install of the pioneer. The fit is good, and everything checked out. I'm redoing the panels before I put them on. PO had glued chrome initials to the radio bezel.

I used a rat tail file to trim the top corners just a tad, like others have said, you can't see it once installed. I don't believe I bipassed anything, I used the wiring adapter that came from crutchfield.
Might be a dumb question to ask, but how did the Sony mount in the slot for the factory radio? Did you need to buy some sort of fill kit or dash kit?
I ended up with a different Boss unit, for just slightly more this one has navigation as well. It had the same problem as the prior unit and didn’t fit. I ended up filing the corners of the plastic trim to be square (they were rounded) and that was just enough for a fit. I didn’t want to do that mostly because the piece was vinyl wrapped and due to its complex curves and multiple open slots was a really time consuming process to wrap.
Finally got it back together.
Ended up with the USB in the center console. I can connect it and close it, Nav system is still fine even under the carport.
