Home Theater System Recommendations

I was planning to install a 2 din radio but found I did not have room to spare for the additional size. So I will have to settle for a 1 din and there are many options available. 
I guess I will have to again make up a list of requirements and then start shopping.

I took my Knight to an Auto Radio shop and they installed a new radio, 2 DIN, and made an appropriate opening in the plastic dash panel and made a beautiful black bezel to surround the new radio.

I just drove up and walked in.  Had a new radio in about an hour.

Those shops are all over the place, I just saw one as I was driving by in the motorhome and since it's parking lot was big enough, I drove in and parked.  Left an hour later with a bluetooth and sirius radio.

The labor charge was minor.  It was a long time ago now so I don't recall the exact charge, but I recall I was pleased with the total price.  

I do a LOT of upgrades on our Knight myself.  For this one, it was simple and easy to get it done by the shop.

Mike, is your dash radio 1.5din?

No, it’s double din. I bought a unit from Amazon called Atoto. It’s load with features like car play, dash cam and a ton of other stuff. It’s from China but it’s got great reviews. I installed it at the beginning of the year and it has worked without any issues. It was under $300. I didn’t want to spend $1000 on one so I figured I would give this a try. I think they have 1.5 din units as well.

I got the same ATOTO unit. Works well. Original unit was 1.5 DIN and had to open up the hole but there was plenty of room for it. The unit has a few cost cutting elements to it but works well and you can't really beat the price. I'm going to take a bit more time soon with the connections as there are multiple connections that can be used that I don't currently have hooked up.

Unfortunately, ours has no room to open up the hole.

I found a rare Pioneer AV receiver Model VSX-S520.  The “S” is for slim (wide, but not tall).  Although physical media is old school, I paired it with a slim, wide Samsung 4K BluRay player that we haven’t used in years. Model # not shown; again that’s an option, not required.  Note I widened the cabinet opening.
