I have a 2002 EX sedan. I want to keep the factory radio but install a scanner in the DIN slot where the pocket is now. Is there a bezel that will allow me to do that ?

TIA

Ouch! Your post confues me...

Are you talking about keeping the stock "bezal" and install an aftermarket "scanner"

Pics would help... I have an afermarket desk and install kit.

Pic of my deck... try and point out what you mean...

He wants to install a police scanner in the area where you Air Spencer is and was wondering if there is a radio kit that replaces the flip compartment for the scanner.

Yes I saw the double DIN kit and it would work fine if I didnt want to keep my factory radio. I want to keep the factory radio, remove the lower pocket and install the scanner. I need to find a kit that allows that.

Thanks just the same Rufus but I think I will buy the dual DIN bezel and see if I can mod it. If I cant...well... it will just cost me $15 to find out huh

The lower pocket comes out. American International makes a 2 piece kit that has seperate top and bottom pieces. The bottom, if I remember correctly, is a blank panel. It's been a year since I had the civic, but I can check through my parts and stuff and see if I still have the bottom piece. If I do you can have it for the cost of shipping, should you want it. If not, check with your local audio dealer.

Heres a free idea, assuming the part dimensions are all okay:

if your scanner is of the standard shape, its gonna stick out all funny anyways from a panel. so you may as well not flushmount it into the dash at all.

so at this point, if the unit will fit, you could just use doublestick tape (or industrial velcro!) to attach it to the inside of your CD pocket. you can drill a hole in the back to poke in the power wire, then splice the cig lighter wires to tap in another socket you buy from kragens.

in the end, that will require cutting no wstock car wires, will require no panel cutting minus drilling one hole (I recommend the top so small objects that end up in the cd pocket dont fall through into your dash)

and the coolest feature is if you are able to sink it far back enough, you can close your flip door lid (if you have one), so the cop never even sees any radar detector when he pulls you over.

plus, its always nice to look stock
