Now that's a tricky question because there's a cheaper part too - MR626799 and that one is not a kit but noone ever explained what's the difference.
The first one (ex) goes for around $50 while the other one can be bought for ~$15
I was about to order the cheaper part.

the cheaper part won't do you

you need the cd changer install kit

next time just give them the part #.. save yourself the hassle of explaining it to them

There was a guy here that swore the cheaper part was sufficient for his aftermarket radio. I'm actually looking to relocate the stock one first before I get the aftermarket one.
So what's the deal with the cheaper part?

is there just going to be a hole or does that peice from the bottom move up or something

it's going to be a hole and it will pretty much be ugly unless you find a plastic piece that will fill up the DIN slot. Many cheaper model cars out there have a plastic piece that can be inserted in the slot and give you like a coin pocket.
However, reason why we are trying to move the radio is so we can mount the gauges up closer to line of sight.

I relocated my radio to the lower DIN and moved my Mitsu gauges up. Perfect swap and 100x better looking.

Top and bottom holes should be iso, no 2001 and up lancer needs a kit, and evo shares same radio dimensions on top hole, you should just be able to take the iso brackets and move them to the bottom opening.

I remember reading some post and they say the cheaper kit is use for aftermarket radio cuz they all come with the mounting kit (remamber that metal box from the sony, alpine head unit)....since our stock radio dont have anything like that....so the more expensive kit is needed.

Just tried that the stock brakets need to be further back so the radio can go in more.
