Thanks, I know how to do the wire hardest, but I did not know how to do the kit.
Hi I have toyota solara 1999 car.what kind of kit should I use for it?
Thanx very helpful
Good info and to the point, thank-you.
Thank you for watching!
Thanks this really helped
Glad it did, and thank you for watching!
what if you want to put a single din head unit in a double din spot and a half din equalizer? will both fit?
Typically yes it will. You might have to fabricate a mount for the EQ.
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
Some kits the pocket is removable. Typically Schosche kits were like that.
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.
This video should answer those question for you czcams.com/video/qMXEZiFqI5k/video.html
should i put the radio in the mounting kit first or the other way around??
+Alexis Martinez It depends on the vehicle I'm working on. If you're not sure, put the kit in then the cage.
What happens when no one makes an adapter kit for your 1991 Honda Civic? I'm thinking about getting out my ancient Erector Set.
'91 Civic's the sleeve should just slide in. That car is a single din opening.
do you need a cage to install head unit
Yes
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?
You need the "keys" which are just metal pieces that go in to unlock the locks on the side.
what if you lost you lost your mounting sleeve?
Some install shops will have spares you can purchase.
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?

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?
You need Ford keys to remove the stereo
@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.
I need one to fit a 1998 4runner
Use the factory metal side brackets. Are you installing a double DIN?
@Vuster31 Thank you!
What do I do if the trim doesn't fit after I put the din inside ?
Buy a better mounting kit or modify to fit.
what brand is the mounting kit?
The video was Best Kits. Metra makes really good product as well.
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?
Did you try Metra Electronics?
@@AnthonyJ350 thanks for the reply. I only find it in AliAxpress website.
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.
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.
Thanks for watching!
To anyone who may help i have a 2006 hyundai tucson and was wondering how to make it a single din
Just need to get a single DIN mounting kit from metraonline.com
Kind of pocket snap out I really just need the pocket ...???
What kind of vehicle?
my cage doesn't even fit inside the mounting kit. neither does my jvc head unit.
+Robert Bridges What car are you installing the head unit into?
+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
Are you putting in a single DIN or double DIN? Cause those cars can take either. What brand mounting kit did you get?
+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.
+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.
can’t find a 2007 chevy impala wiring harness to save my life 😢
Metraonline.com or Idatalink Maestro
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.
Different brands make kits better for certain vehicles.
