How To Install a Radio in a CAT299D

This video covers how I installed an In-Dash / Radio receiver & Speakers in my CAT 299D.
This is probably relevant to all CAT Skid Steer and Compact Track Loaders that are series D or newer.
Working in the tractor and moving dirt is a lot of fun, but combining that with your favorite tunes is definitely a bonus. I knew this machine was capable of adding a radio, but I wasn't sure what was required until I dove into it, and ripped off the headliner!

Items I am using in this video:
These are Amazon associate links (In theory I get a few pennies if you buy something, but it does not cost you more. This helps the channel, so I appreciate it if you use them!)
Pioneer Car Stereo Receiver (They no longer sell the one I bought. I think this is the newer version)

Thanks for making this! Doing my install in the 289D and it appears to be exactly the same. Saved me a lot time figuring it all out.

[@MakersAcres]

Thank you for the feedback! I am glad it helped out! It’s a lot of work to put these videos together and I like knowing that they actually helped someone!
