Dash Kit ( Why its a Good Idea ) |
---|
Why do I need a Dash Kit? Today's cars have rounded edges, sometimes funky looking convex and curved stereo faces. Dash Kits are designed to match your car radio console. For a Gapless fit with Aftermarket Radios. Many auto makers factory radios are bigger than aftermarket radios (Some will need a Pocket or Delete Plate) (Read Below) ** The sole purpose of an install dash kit, is to blend the new aftermarket radio so it looks like it belongs. Professional Install shops use these very same Dash Kits when installing new Aftermarket Car Stereos Radio in-dash installation kits are designed, specifically for particular vehicles * EXAMPLE : AFTERMARKET RADIO IS A SINGLE DIN & OEM RADIO WAS LARGER SIZED 2 DIN (DEFINITELY WILL NEED DASH KIT - if wanting to close up the gaps)What is a Single-DIN, 1.5DIN, Double-DIN & Shaft Radio Mean? "Single DIN" = Standard Aftermarket Radio Size "Shaft Style"= Old type of radios w/ Knob Controls 1.5 DIN = Mostly Used by GM (in the Late 90's - early 2000's) 2 DIN = Many Stock Import Radios - 2xs size of Single DIN (often referred to as a Double Din) |
Careful of Direct Imports from China & Abroad |

Unfortunately there's an increase of Cheap Stereos being sold on ebay ; Amazon and the web, that do not fit the AIAA Standards. Many China radio models will not work with Dash Kits, because they do not pay the membership to the AIAA Aftermarket Association Guidelines : (Stick with Brand Names) just to be on the safe side. Why? Because they make their 7in screens to fit into locations that do not require a fitment dash kit. *They do not have the info on size fitments. Double Din kits are design for use with USA Standard Double Din radio models only that are 6.2" 173mm x 99.8mm to 7" 180mm x 102mm (anything over 180mm will need to be trimmed) |
