I installed a Pioneer AVIC-X910BT into my 2002 Ford Escape XLT. Putting a 2Din headunit into this vehicle involves cutting the sub-dash to clearance for the unit. This was disclosed on the website and wasn't much of a surprise to me. I tarped off the inside of my car with old bedsheets and used a rotozip with a carbide rasp attachment which made quick work of removing the plastic material.
The Installation kit attached easily to the head-unit with a couple of screws and I used a harness adapter so I didn't have to cut my factory wires. After making making the connections and soldering them together, I bound them up with zip ties and inserted the unit into the dash.
The dash in my vehicle has quite a bit of room behind it so with a bit of maneuvering I was able to slide the unit and all it's wires (there are a lot of them!) into the dash opening. Unfortunately, the kit doesn't have the fit & finish like my factory stereo had. This kit has uneven gaps between the bezel and the mounting kit. I think it falls short of what an OEM installation would be.
(This website should let you upload a pic)
I brought my car over to my local "Extreme" audio installation center and they admitted to using a slightly different mounting system but which is essentially the same. It would have been better being a black metal plate with a DD hole to stick the radio through. This would have eliminated the gap at the bottom which is filled with a thin plastic filler piece.
Overall, I'm really disappointed with the available dash kits for the 2001-07 Ford Escapes but now that it's been in my car for six months I've kind of gotten used to it.

The kit is great, my Mercury Marauder has what Ford likes to cal 2 din radio opening but the dash is not big enough to fit a normal 2 din radio. With a little shaving of the top of the dash board and the Metra install kit I was able to fit a Kenwood touch screen DVD navigation head unit in my car. I would recommend this product for anyone wanting to install a 2 din radio on a Ford product.
