You can make it work without a dash kit, I wouldn't though, because the dash kits fit tightly and look clean, it would be hard to recreate that. Plus they are cheap.

Re: chinese android double din stereo from ebay wont fit

usually for double dins there's a bracket that screws into the side of the radio and then into the existing bracket. you have anything like that?

then you can get a trim ring like this to finish it off.

If any of u had done something like that please upload a pic or send it via PM. thanks!!!

Just a thought, make sure that it doesn't just fit very tightly, I write this because my stereo seemed like it wouldn't fit at first, but i just had to massage it in and it seemed to get stuck until I gave it a shove and it popped right in. can you post pics of where it doesn't clear or how tight the space is?
