i've been looking at several pics of the OEM navi system. since i only have a 6cd changer, i would like to drop in a AVIC D3 into its place. problem is, of course, the dash trim. i'm currently on the wall between a metra 2-din kit, and getting the OEM trim kit. as i look at the OEM navi's size, though, it doesn't look to be a standard 2-DIN, but a wide 2-DIN. has anyone tried fitting in a standard 2-DIN unit into the OEM navi trim, or should i get the metra kit and call it a day?

 

NO dont get a metra kit do more reading its garbage. IMO the scosche kit is better and it is much cheaper. get the scosche kit and call it a day.

 

i knew metra was poor quality, but it was all that i have found thus far. now that you mentioned scosche, i'll opt for that instead. thanks.

 

Or you can order the JDM factory Mitsubishi Double Din Piece. That is what I used to mount my AVIC in my old MR. It looked factory and fit perfect!

 

There was a thread with pictures. Looks like old(er) threads are being deleted even if they are useful.



i.e. make a trim ring to fill in the wide 2-din space. Mine is kinda big.

 

Jdm

 

= waste of $200+ if you already have a 2-din OEM.

dont spend 200 on a dash kit that is just ridiculous get the scosche kit and spend more money on your car

 

Agreed... I have the Scosche kit and it's pretty damn good. Not worth spending $200 on a piece of plastic. Get the Scosche.

 

done deal can't wait to migrate the AVIC D3 from my old car!
