Double Din Mounting Kit

nawaf88 · 07-10-2005

Where can I find a double din mounting kit for my 04 civic. I want the Pioneer avic d1 but need a kit so I can put that bad boy in. Any help is appreciated

The kit is the Metra 99-7865, you will need to modify it (cut the middle divider out, easy) to get the unit in

buy it here http://www.autotoys.com/x/catalog/HO...LS_p_2523.html or cchoose to support your local dealer

thanks, I appreciate it. Megahurtz, is there anything else that you think i'll need. will the radio stay in there without sliding out?

also where do I get a wire harness for my 04 civic?

You can go to Crutchfield.com they have it for every model, and if you buy the headunit from them, they send u the harness and adapter kit for free...plus free shipping which is awesome

The adapter kit (from Crutchfield) is for a single din and a storage bin beneath, if I'm not mistaken...

They're talking about double DIN stuff.

Can you buy the double din setup from honda for the new 05 civics that come with the double din radio. has better curves and looks factory. Well because it is.

you can probably buy it but i believe for some reason the kit is not the smae

just get the metra, it looks good, the color isn't quite perfect on mine but the trim is so narrow that it doesn't really matter.. if you had a dash kit it wouldnt matter at all

The console for the 05 special editions can be had for $60 online. it'll look better than the metra.
Double Din doesn't need a mounting kit in the 7th gen civic. it screws right into the existing metal factory harness/brace that holds the stock stereo. I know this for a fact b/c that's what I have in my car. no muss, no fuss.

I haven't purchased the 05 SE dash piece though. I'll probably buy it when I get some extra cash.

I have the SE radio in my car also. Where can I buy the SE console? Majestic doesn't list it. Here is mine with the regular console.

plasma, the housing around the se radio... is that from an se or is that a modified metra dash kit??

PlasmaGT · 07-12-2005

It's the regular console. The Metra kit wouldn't fit. It was too small for the SE radio.

Take the entire console out and use the ISO mount screws. You may have to drill the factory cage, but the unit will be secures in there and can't be taken out with radio keys.

Here is a picture of the Head Unit I just installed in my 03 LX sedan.
It was as simple as removing the stock head unit, the dash pocket, and screwing in the double din unit.
No Muss, No Fuss. The screw holes lined up just fine. There is no dash kit whatsoever on there.
As funds become available, I might purchase the 05 SE console piece for a tighter look, but as of now, it's not bothering me too much.
