Installed it this past week in my RA with my friend.





It was a pain to get to the factory stereo and replace the housing and I had to call Crutchfield a few times coz their instructions sucked, but fun overall nonetheless.

 

what dash kit do yu have it looks clean

 

Crutchfield...it doesn't fit properly at the top though...small gap. I've complained, hopefully they'll come out with a fix soon.

 

I think the Metra dash kits also had a gap at the top. Maybe Crutchfield is just re-branding those kits

 

Yes, looks like it. I re-checked the installation manuals they sent and it's Metra branded.

Are there better dash kits available?

Edit: Saw the Scosche dash kit. Will look into it.

 

Price on these dash kits?

 

About $30 for Metra, but I got mine for free from Crutchfield with my Nav unit.
I've seen the Scosche go for about $50, still looking for a cheaper price.

 

Here's your options:

• Metra ~$25
• Scosche ~$40
• OEM JDM ~$230

Obviously the JDM one is the cleanest, best-fitting option. But it'll cost you...

You can probably find cheaper ones for sale on eBay or the FS forums

 

I have the Scosche dash kit with my Pioneer AVIC-Z110BT, it has the same problem, a tiny gap at the top... But I got it for like $30 from Amazon (Don't pay attention to the picture, it's the correct kit). And to be honest, the gap isn't that much of a "problem." It's not like it affects how the head unit operates, or how my system sounds.

 

dont like how the top of the scorsche and metra fascia sticks out so much doesnt look good, probably cant tell from the pics in the links though.. the jap oem one is much better fitting.. I have it installed with my AVIC-F900BT
