[Carl-BVI]

Well im very keen to get a Headunit just want to know a bit more about these Dash Kits so any information would be GREAT!
Here's the cheapest i found with a wiring harness.

Can i expect better quality from other company's? or are all these kit relatively the same?

Also im not 100% sure what size Headunits thee can fit? Id assume anything up to 7" - Just want people with these kits to shed some light for me to help me out!

Thanks Everyone!

you get what you pay for.

Ive installed that exact kit - Scosche for a few members here and this is the result.





I use the Aerpro ones, my buy price is $170 and as we need them if we do a headunit upgrade, i dont put any mark up on it.

If i find one thats cheaper and fits like the Aerpro ones do, i will use them.

I have the exact one as well. Fit is not as tight as OME I took out but a little tighter than Fitter’s I think…lol But as Fitter said you get what you pay for and I think the OME from Japan is around $300. My screen is 7" and tilts forward to insert DVD no problems. I dont notice the poor fit when driving.
The only prob I had was I had to drill a couple of holes in the bracket that was in the car to get my unit to fit.

I have the aerpro one (Part No. FP9037)..good fit, if a little tight, and a good match for the OEM dash plastic...

Oh, and Carl, if you check out Ryda, last I saw they still had the old aerpro one listed on their website (but they can't get it anymore).

I managed to get my newer model one at cost, because they couldn't get the old one...You won't save much over the 170 Fitter mentioned, but a little - afraid I don't have my receipt close to hand at the moment, so I can't tell you what I actually paid, but think it was about $130 (but that was with a head unit and steering wheel control adaptor)

the photos i put up were NOT of my Car. there were of another members.

My dash kit has no gaps... only a slight bow in the top.

Fitter what's the difference between the FP997011 ($129) and FP9037 ($170)?

*Edit: Seems like the FP997011 is for single Din replacement and the FP9037 is for double din replacements. Is that right?

Phil,

From what I understand, the FP997011 is just an old model, both are double DIN, and if you plan on installing single DIN, you'll need a pocket or blank plate.

Cheers

9037 is a newer model that actually fits. Old one doesn't. Save money and have gaps or spent a little more and have a good fit
