Default Do I need a kit?

Simple Question: Do I need a kit to install an Alpine HU in 95 Accord LX.

I know when I installed a kit in my 93 civic the metal cage thing just popped right in after I removed the old stereo. Does the accord work the same way? InstallDR.com says I need a kit, but I just wanted to ask the experts to make sure.

Thanks,

Mike

Other than a Harness adapter (to mate the radio chassis wiring to the Honda radio harness plug) it should be a straightforward installation.
Both the OEM Honda radio chassis and the vast majority of aftermarket radios' are the same dimensions (DIN Chassis)

you still need a deck kit to fit the stereo in.

Well then, the Kenwood I put in my "97 SE must have been a rare bird; didn't need anything but the harness adapter
