great value

This harness fit me car perfect, the only better thing was the fact that it wired up to the radio harness by color coding. Be aware that the + and the remote wire does not work on this harness, Just simply run your own wires and youre fine.

Confusing at first but works fine

Got for double din stereo. If you buy this one just throw the instruction book away because it is very hard to understand with very little instructions. I think there are only about 1 page per car type. Its easier to just look at what you need and slowly cut parts off to fit it. But it does work and it holding my stereo tight.

terrible directions

This is made nice and sturdy but do not use the manual. It will tell you to cut out pieces you should not for your vehicle. When you install it just keep test fitting it and find out which parts of the mount you clearly need to cut off, the directions are misleading and will mess up the installation.

Kit ended up working like a charm after understanding how it worked and learning that you have to remove half the mounting brackets.

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.

Great Kit; Great Price

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 product

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.

Great Install Adapter!

This adapter kit came with my Pioneer FH-X500UI stereo. It fit perfectly around the stereo and mounted great to the frame of my 2DIN hole for the stereo. All the mounting holes lined up perfectly. I had my doubts when I first saw it. I followed the instructions and it worked!

Good looking, great price!

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!

Gets the job done.

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.

Pretty Good.

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.

Great product for the price.

I got this holding my Valor DTS-660W in the dash of my 2002 s-10. Instructions are kinda tricky, but if you follow them closely you will be able to make it work without breaking it. (It is only plastic after all).

Worked Perfect!

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.

easy to use kit

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

Works like a charm.

It allowed for a nice neat installation of a Kenwood DNX-6140 nav unit double-din radio. The center rib has to be cut out for a double-din install but no big deal. Great value.

Instructions were tricky easy to use though.

Instructions were slightly unclear as what exactly to do. Turns out that this product requires you to 'break' pieces off in order to use it which is counter-intuitive. Still, a pretty easy install once you work through it but it took some thinking.

For anyone who might be looking for a better explanation of what I mean by break pieces off, basically there are multiple tabs on the bracket and they all fit different vehicles, you have to break off all the ones that don't fit your vehicle with pliers or cutters and then put the bracket onto the head unit. Then into the dash. The instructions just refer to 'removing tabs' , and the parts you have to break off are not obviously meant to do so.

eh its ok but lots of work

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.
