Have heard of soem techinical difficulties with the installation of an aftermarket headunit. I have a JVC Kamelion which I want to mount into the dash perfect. It is a beautiful head unit! I also heard that there are many probs with keeping the little door below the radio. I would like to keep it, unless it means sacrificing the sound quality of the unit (skipping due to instability). If it is going to skip a lot due to that...then F it....Any suggestions? I took it to a local stereo shop in my area and he quoted me $80 to do the unit & a 12 disc changer!
I want to do it myself. I have a freind that will help me. Is it hard? Where and which dash kit should I get?

Welcome to the world of basic install prices.

Remember, that price (if it was a grand total) should include the price of the dash kit and wiring harness. . . which is about $30 worth, right there.

Shouldn't be too hard if you're somewhat familiar. If you're not, I wouldn't recommend it.

Metra and Scosche both make dash kits and wire harnesses, as well as a couple other companies.

you can keep the pocket with the american international 2 piece kit that has no pocket, simply throw out the blank out panel, and use the pocket witht eh door that honda puts in there

just remember the two bottom screws, they were a pain to figure out what was holding in the hu before there was a DIY here, they're behind the cig lighter panel
