Thanks, I know how to do the wire hardest, but I did not know how to do the kit.

@AnthonyJ350 12 лет назад

@silverr616 I get people in the shop from time to time that don't understand all the parts needed to do a proper installation. So I made some videos breaking the parts down for people that don't know.

@m.a2934 7 месяцев назад

Thanks this really helped

Glad it did, and thank you for watching!

@jamesjimenez1863 2 года назад

Good info and to the point, thank-you.

@AnthonyJ350 2 года назад

Thank you for watching!

@SM-gp2xh 6 месяцев назад

This is way better than using the arms that come with the dash kit because you can get the deck out without taking the whole dash trim etc apart again... want a new deck or change the single din unit... just slide it out no problem.

@AnthonyJ350 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching!

What happens when no one makes an adapter kit for your 1991 Honda Civic? I'm thinking about getting out my ancient Erector Set.

@AnthonyJ350 9 лет назад

'91 Civic's the sleeve should just slide in. That car is a single din opening.

@MissMichSan 11 лет назад

Thanx very helpful

@AdversaryOmega 11 лет назад

Well isn't that just dandy... I can now see why some people say there deck is loose after installing, I'm sure they never thought of or did, push those pins down to secure the cage properly. Would make sense of the matter anyways.

@nicolasjoy1181 2 года назад

Hey, do you know if it’s possible to remove that pocket to get another din slot? I want to replace my double din radio with a single din radio and a single din cb. It’ll go in a 2004 f150

@AnthonyJ350 2 года назад

Some kits the pocket is removable. Typically Schosche kits were like that.

@BigEightiesNewWave 5 месяцев назад

My 2002 Focus has a single DIN unit installed into a similar kit, but the retaining screws are not accessible, until after the radio and kit come out. How do I remove mine to access the screws holding my heater, AC, vent controls to get at the bulbs behind it?

@AnthonyJ350 4 месяца назад

You need Ford keys to remove the stereo

Hi I have toyota solara 1999 car.what kind of kit should I use for it?

@mad4u3703t2 7 лет назад

what if you want to put a single din head unit in a double din spot and a half din equalizer? will both fit?

@AnthonyJ350 7 лет назад

Typically yes it will. You might have to fabricate a mount for the EQ.

@matix-4622 2 года назад

So I need to take mine out bc I need to install my new sub and amp and idk how to get it out, can u help?

@AnthonyJ350 2 года назад

You need the "keys" which are just metal pieces that go in to unlock the locks on the side.

@gulllllll1 3 года назад

What if your back plugs and original plug inserts are different from the new head unit plug?. Can you get apdapters for it. I have a double din with a screen for my 2014 hilux, but i dont want any thing fancy, a single din sony is fine for me but the back confuses me.

@AnthonyJ350 3 года назад

This video should answer those question for you ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qMXEZiFqI5k.html

@ygbodybuilder3023 8 лет назад

do you need a cage to install head unit

@hillbillyhomeboy4121 4 года назад

Yes

@inspectorfunk Год назад

What do I do if the trim doesn't fit after I put the din inside ?

@AnthonyJ350 Год назад

Buy a better mounting kit or modify to fit.

@FroYo.... 8 лет назад

should i put the radio in the mounting kit first or the other way around??

@AnthonyJ350 8 лет назад

+Alexis Martinez It depends on the vehicle I'm working on. If you're not sure, put the kit in then the cage.

@oqhr 3 года назад

My car is 2020 hyundai Elantra, and I couldn't find any install kit for my new stereo. I searched every where What do you suggest?

@AnthonyJ350 3 года назад

Did you try Metra Electronics?

@oqhr 3 года назад

@@AnthonyJ350 thanks for the reply. I only find it in AliAxpress website.

@hl2303 Год назад

what brand is the mounting kit?

@AnthonyJ350 Год назад

The video was Best Kits. Metra makes really good product as well.

@robertbridges2630 8 лет назад

my cage doesn't even fit inside the mounting kit. neither does my jvc head unit.

@AnthonyJ350 8 лет назад

+Robert Bridges What car are you installing the head unit into?

@robertbridges2630 8 лет назад

+AnthonyJ350 2002 Monte Carlo, I had my bro pick me up a jvc head unit and a mounting kit. the kit seems too skinny, not being able to fit everything in properly. not sure if I would need to get a different mounting kit, or a new radio. not knowing yet if the mounting kit fits my car, but he said he was sure it would but I haven't torn the old one out of my car yet to check

@AnthonyJ350 8 лет назад

Are you putting in a single DIN or double DIN? Cause those cars can take either. What brand mounting kit did you get?

@robertbridges2630 8 лет назад

+AnthonyJ350 double din and I believe it's a scosche mounting kit, generally I can make it work, but it isn't right. it's all crammed in and can't bend any tabs down to stabilize it.

@AnthonyJ350 8 лет назад

+Robert Bridges Usually when doing an install like yours you don't use the cage and just bolt the head unit to the kit with the supplied screws with the head unit. Should be a fine thread machine screw.

@chadhakala 8 лет назад

what if you lost you lost your mounting sleeve?

@AnthonyJ350 8 лет назад

Some install shops will have spares you can purchase.

@ChaosExodus 8 лет назад

I know this sounds silly, but this is only my second time installing a radio. If I'm going from a double din factory unit to a double din aftermarket unit in a 2007 Kia Rondo, do I need to use a kit for installation or will it just slide in, like my single din did in my 97 tbird?

@usernamenotfound7479 2 года назад

To anyone who may help i have a 2006 hyundai tucson and was wondering how to make it a single din

@AnthonyJ350 2 года назад

Just need to get a single DIN mounting kit from metraonline.com

@happyjack880 Год назад

Unfortunately some of these kits, Metra for example, are just plain crap. $20 for 30 cents worth of plastic. Often screws that are listed as included are missing. The plastic is often warped. It takes a bit of ingenuity to make these things work as they were intended. I've had to super glue spacers in place that should just fit in place and stay there. If you're not a professional installer and you want to upgrade the audio in your vehicle just pay an installer to do it. Trust me it's worth it in the long run.

@AnthonyJ350 Год назад

Different brands make kits better for certain vehicles.
