    It's a double din. I already ordered the first 2 things and the Pioneer lead.

    METRA_70_1784 or Metra 70-1787 i prefer the first if there is no amp present/ lastly amplified antenna adapter Connects2 CT27AA56 or (Metra 40-VW53 "this is what it should have" )you'll have to pull the head unit to be sure
    the first is for the diversity antenna if so equiped
    Personally I would pull the head unit just to have a look I have seen differences than What any book says

    I was told by 3 different installers including someone at Enfig and they told me all needed to install this in a 08 was the dash kit, the connects2 CTSAD002, and the correct lead for Pioneer. Is this correct

    if you bought the correct Pioneer to CTSADOO2 lead , you still have to plug the antenna lead somewhere ? "think about it "I don't no what the specific pioneer plug there selling you, but its probably a Metra 70-1784 and a OEM Pioneer AVIC-X910BT Harness like the one that came with the unit pre-connected,
    which you could do, if you wanted to save a few bucks. it just makes everything plug and play
    I honestly think your going to need the antenna adapter unless its intergrated into the new CONNECTS2 CTSAD002
    been doing this for 26 years

    I have an AVIC setup with Connects2 in my B7. You will still need a power antenna adapter. Also, they're not selling you the last item in your list. They're just telling you that you will need the harness that came with the AVIC HU.
