When I received this kit I thought it seemed flimsy, but after assembling it and installing the radio in my dash, it looks very professional and clean. The kit keeps the radio looking like a factory install, not a protruding ugly aftermarket job. My buddy had the same radio I have, but a different install kit. The one he used keeps the radio protruding out of the dash. We have the same Avalanche truck, radio but different install kits. He now wishes he had the same kit I used. I definitely will recommend this kit to anyone. Not to mention the price is great as well!

Took stock radio out, followed instruction and used this kit. It works perfect so far. I had to cut the center brace out because I have double din, it cleaned right up and didn't just break away.

Because this is basically a one fits all product, be prepared to do a lot of cutting. Almost all the tabs were removed to fit my Grand Am.

Required a lot of trimming, but it wasn't hard. Installed in a 2004 pontiac bonneville. It did not hold up the radio in the back, so i had to put a thin piece of rubber underneath it to hold the radio even. I just cut up a mudflap, and that worked good.

Used this particular kit a few times now and it's worked well in every install. The holes in the side pieces I needed to widen a little bit for the unit I put in my car, but that was specific to my car and not all others. I installed a double din with subwoofer rcas and my dash isn't deep enough so that was the mod. Very nice kit though

June 9, 2011 Great Kit; Great Price
Review by
Josh from Utah

After all was said and done, I was pleased with the outcome of the overall look of this kit. However, I won't hesitate to mention the fact that the instructions/manual that came with it was incredibly vague and I never felt, while preparing it for installation, completely sure that what I was doing was correct. I am referring, in all of this, to the preparation that has to take place before actually installing your 2-DIN receiver. I had to bust out my dremmel tool in order to sand down/cut off unnecessary pieces of plastic (granted yes, this is a "universal" dash kit and so as such "fits" a large number of cars) which I don't think I was ever expecting to have to do. It probably took me about 1/2 hour to an hour of added prep time just to get this ready for installation purposes. But again, like mentioned at the beginning, after all was said and done, I was pleased with the overall outcome and look of the kit in my '02 Chevy Impala. Would recommend to anyone willing to put in the time and effort to prep the kit for your specific car--to anyone else, I would recommend just getting an install kit a lot more specific to your car rather than a universal kit like this one.

Good mounting kit. Just make sure you know which tabs you need and which ones to cut. Also if you're using it for a double din a good razor blade will cut the middle bar out easily.

Several of the tabs had to be removed to make it fit in the double din space on my 03 chevy blazer. also to get the head unit mounted into this kit was a pain but eventually got it. Its all mounted and plugged in now, and it is fairly good fit. not perfect and you can wiggle the stereo if you push hard enough. Its not perfect or anywhere close to easy to install at all, but ive done at least 10 car stereo replacements so i was eventually able to figure it out. With that in mind, for being included for free with the Eclipse CD1200G that i bought, you cant go wrong.

I used this to install a Jensen VM9021TS in my '02 Trailblazer and it worked perfectly. Just make sure your radio is supported properly from the back as the mounting brackets look kinda weak around where they are screwed to the dash. If your radio isn't supported good at the back it looks the mounting brackets might break if you hit some hard bumps.
