I pose a question to those of you whom have installed a screen of about 7inches in place of a stereo face plate. what troubles if any did you run into and what can I do to make my install as painless as possible i.e. (use an installation kit for that flush fit look)?

 

they use to sell mounting kits on ebay... can't find one

hmmm...

 

GOOD LUCK... you'd probably be better off modifying your current one.

 

just get a dash kit for a double din...i got mine from amazon i believe and its pretty simple from there

 

Its probably not the best pricing, but if you live near a best buy, i know they can order one if they dont have one in stock... Probably $25

 

tnx guys i will try all those methods...hoping for a smooth...flush fit...sexy look....feel me???? lol

 

I have a pioneer double din in my civic (01) and i have it mounted directly to the factory cage that the stock stereo/pocket were mounted to. The only modification (if you can even call it that) was i used a washer (i think #6 or 8) on the inside of the mounting screws just as shims to center everything up. After that, just get a metra double din shroud (just google it, if you cant find it i can dig up the part number) to cover everything up and youre all set.

 

Thanks i will try that...i need that clean look. nah mean??? : )

 

I also did this in mine. Done in under an hour easily wig the plug adaptor and doubling din trim metra kit. Iso mounts right in. I did mine in my driveway with a pry tool, philips, screwdriver, but connectors and crip tool. One of he easiest I have ever done

 

Do you have any pics of how this is done?
Thanks.

 

im not trying to steal ur thread or anything but im just wondering because i want to get a dual din also but i have a em2 special edition, so i need a dual din kit?

 

If your car did not come with a double din audio unit, then yes, you'll need to buy the install kit.

 

ok cool so since it is a dual din sized unit i wont need one

 

I dont have any pics of the actual process but i can snap a cellphone pic or 2 if you wanna see the finished product. If you have any specific questions, feel free to pm me and i can talk you through it. really not difficult at all
