I don't think you can unless somebody sells theirs used. Don't let the pic fool you either, the kit doesn't have an OEM fitment by any means. Maybe some people got lucky but other have gaps in them like mine. Don't get me wrong, it's not horrible but I would work the fitment a little with a heat gun. I've been thinking about selling mine but I don't have any immediate plans to. I would have to get rid of my AVIC D3 as well.

japanparts.com has the Double Dins for sale about $75 plus shipping if I remember. You'll just have to find a HVAC relocation kit. Some have modified the HVAC to fit in the lower single DIN.

Like others have said you can use the JDM upper piece, for the lower piece I heard you can use the climate controls from a certain year of galants.

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...n-display.html This is the #1 answer for the dwindling remains of the orbital. All supplies needed are in this post. I used black permatex to fill any of my blunders though. The upper is the Japan parts double din. Fits perfectly without a heat gun, but does not have the "sun visor" for glare that the orbital did.
