2000 Buick lesabre

It’s fairly a nice deck it just doesn’t power my subwoofer like it should because it’s not setting really for the woofers but other than that it’s a nice addition and if your just looking for Bluetooth you should get it and it also brought out my highs a lot in my car just not the subs

Straight Forward

Needed this for my new radio in my escape. Matched every wire to the appropriate color and worked on the first try.

Great Product

Great product at a great price. Fast shipping. I would highly recommend this store. I will purchase from them again.

Metra 70-1771 radio wiring harness adapter

Do not attempt to install a radio without a harness adapter. With this type of adapter you can do all of your wiring on the bench (or the couch) and then just plug it into the car's original harness. Safe, easy and fast. The 70-1771 works in Ford Crown Vics that are PIs, which do not use the 24 pin harness used by standard Vics. Sonic offers the best service, variety, shipping and price of these wiring harness adapters. The use of this harness will allow you to reinstall the original radio at a later date or if you need to reinstall if the new radio goes in for repairs. Even if you never need or want to put the old radio back in, this is the only way to keep your sanity when installing an aftermarket radio- and it's only $10 and free shipping!

2003 Ford Mustang

Perfect match for my 2003 Ford Mustang V6. Thanks Sonic Electronix

I wanted to replace it after I got it installed

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.

good value

Worked well, sticks out a little as the Sportrac dash is angled vertically, but still functions well.

Metra in dash kit

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.

Works as advertised

Used to install in a 2000 Ford F350 CC. The supplied screws were almost too short, but seem to be holding. Fairly easy to install, but does require the top and bottom of the dash opening to be trimmed. The sides can be left alone except near the corners to allow brackets to sit in flush. Instructions are okay, but as with most things, rather vague. Looks are pretty decent.

Made the install look great

This item I needed to install a 4" radio into my 2000 F250. Worked like a charm. When using you have to grind a little on the bottom of dash to except this but once on radio snapped right into the truck.. Gave it a totally finished look.. Very pleased..

Excellent Product

If you are adding a touchscreen to your F-250 pickup this is the perfect
install kit to go with it. It is very easy to install did not have to file to much of the dash out to make it work.

very good

made istallation very easy

Good for Ford Crown Victoria

Installed this unit in both a 2003 & 2007 Ford Crown Victoria. Lots of questions around installing a double DIN unit in the early cars, but I did not have any issues. The only modification needed is the trimming of the small plastic ridge that surrounds the opening, then the Metra 95-5817 will slide right in.

Work Good

Good fitment and good product

Great product for my 2000 Ford F350

Product was just what I needed to finish the installation of a double DIN player into my DIN and a half opening on my Ford F350.

Okay if you're not picky like me! I was talked into getting this due to inventory deficit of the one I really wanted. The unit was overpriced where I purchased and Weblink sucks. No back up camera included and did I mention Weblink sucks!

Added bonus

Having the install kit available was an added bonus. Had it installed in record time. Great value.

Adapters for PyleView GPS/Radio to Crown Victoria

This is an odd review since I did not use the product as it was intended. But it works fine for me.

The adapter plates go on the sides of the core device. They are designed to lock the PyleView GPS/Radio into dash board I guess to prevent theft.

Well in my case I wanted to be able to access the PyleView GPS/Radio with out a big job of removing the dash. (This was because I was going to add a Back Up Camera later.)

I took a Dremel and cut the tabs off that perform the locking function.
Now I can take the PyleView GPS/Radio in and out at will. I made a pair of removal tools from heavy solid iron wire. The PyleView GPS/Radio is held in the dash by a lot of friction and the lack of any place to grab the PyleView GPS/Radio when it is in the dash.
My wire tools give me the ability to "grab" the PyleView GPS/Radio for removal.

It is nice to be able to buy the adapter plates in the first place.

dash kit

Cool, works good.

F-650 Metra Dash Kit

I used this metra dash kit to install a JCV Full Din Stereo In My 2008 F-650 (Same Dash As F250-F350) You have to grindtheupper& lower lip off factory dash panel but the kit locks in tight & fits real nice.Just make sure you have it wred right before you push in all the way because when it locks its in for good!!

70-1771

Used in a 2004 Mazda 3 worked as it should. Made wiring up radio easy.

Metra 95-5817 mounting kits work great.

The kit works great, but the real plus here is the service that sonix provides.

worth getting!

brackets fit as planned on two different units. Looks good in the dash.

By al on June 18, 2015 Verified purchase

works great looks good

This product fits perfectly looks good and is priced right if this is the adapter you need you wont regret it

Nice tough plug

The plug was fairly tough to hold up to locking and unlocking it also had long enough wires so you can cut them to your needs also the wiring is real copper, not cheap bi-metal so soldering was easy

By Gene on April 12, 2020 Verified purchase

great harness

Perfect install

'03 F350 - Makes for a perfect fit to install dash unit, small trim piece may not seem like much, but it finishes the install completely. Better design than other dash kits I've used.

Plug and Play

The Metra 70-1771 was a perfect match for my vehicle. I soldered all the connections which took a little time but it was well worth it. Thanks to Sonic for your support, everything went as good as could be expected.

perfect fit

installed a Pioneer mvh 210ex perfect fit for 2001 Mustang GT made the job so easy with this and the install kit..

Wiring made easy

Perfect way to make a nice clean harness when tying in to factory wiring. Wires are color coded & also labeled to avoid any wrong connections, almost foolproof!

Metra 70-1771

Makes radio installations so much easier. Just prewire the new radio, remove dash trim, remove old radio, plug new radio in and put dash back together.

Perfect Match for our 2004 Mercury Marauder

This Dash Kit functioned Perfectly and the installation looks just like Factory. Very Nice Clean Appearance.

Metra 70-1771

Fit perfectly easy installation my stereo works great will buy again

Necessary for Double DIN but needs some work

Although developed for aftermarket radios to be installed in to the factory dash cavities, it fell short my my expectations. The 96 LINCOLN Town Car plastic factory dash cavity requires major Dremel routing to accept a Pioneer Double DIN aftermarket radio and allow the Metra wiring harness plugs and antenna to exit the rear into the dash. Flanges around the face-plate are removed entirely with an additional half inch of the inferior edge of dash aperture. This kit suffers from anemic instructions as to the design features for perfect placement of the side plates, and a totally inadequate bottom plastic bar. . It is up to the installer to improvise a satisfactory part to mask the dash gap removed to allow the radio to incline under the AC ducts over the rear his cavity.

Perfect Fit

The Metra 95-5817 was all I needed to make the install myself. It took about 4-5 hours. Install instructions were very helpful

Great head unit

Good sound and functionality. For a decent price

By kyle on July 29, 2024 Verified purchase

Good sound.

I wont know how good this is or is not until I get upgraded speakers but it made a huge difference in the sound of the stock Monsoon speakers in my '04 GLI. I do suggest this head unit if you are doing a budget upgrade to your car stereo.

By Dalon on July 28, 2024 Verified purchase

Pioneer dmh 241ex

The head unit is very easy to install with the mounting kit. The headunit also works flawlessly currently with no issues. I would recommend it for beginners or someone who wants an aftermarket headunit but nothing too crazy.

By Timothy on November 25, 2024 Verified purchase

Decent Headunit

It’s a pretty bare bones headunit, don’t expect much. It’s functions good and sounds great. All I needed was good sounding music and a backup camera, and it does just that. If you need something cheap and don’t need all the fancy stuff, this is for you.

By Brandon on May 21, 2025 Verified purchase

Easy to connect.

Aside from a pin being bent a bit upon first inspection, connected just fine for my radio.

By Sontario on February 20, 2026 Verified purchase

Great harness

This harness was a perfect fit for my kids 03 F150. The plug is well made and the wires are of decent length and quality. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do and is so much easier and faster than chopping off an oem plug to wire a radio in.
