sorry im new to the audio department.. but what type of store should carry an installtion kit



Radio shack? Best buy? are these kits specific by model of car and year? or are they all DIN measurement? do they go by another name?

i recently bought a Pioneer Premier DEH-P730 and i need an in installation kit to make the unit look clean once im done installing it ..

- thanks in advance

You can buy an installation kit from any shop that installs car stereos.

mkay... another question on page 8 of this writeup:

http://www.installdr.com/InstallDocs...PDF/647021.pdf

it mentions an "optional snap on wire harness" .. where do i get one of those? i called up local nissan parts dealer and they said a hardware store should have it.. but are all of them the same? i mean the one that came with the headunit i have doesn't fit the nissan connectors for sh*t..

i don't want to splice anything so any tips would be nice..

well

1. I got my Din kit off of ebay cuase they had it for cheaper and it fit/looked perfect with my car. When I tryed gettin it from Circuit City they gave me one that supposedly was supposed to be made for my car but even though it fit, it looked like sh*t. Reason being was it was made to fit my car and like 10 other different makes and models also.

2. The wire harness u could usually get at any electronic store (like best buy, circuit city.....) that sells car audio. I got it from Circuit city and it worked perfectly.

so far no place ive been to has what im looking for i keep getting redirected...

cross off 2 local hardware stores and Radioshak

so far the parts i need are:
1 screw (the one that you take out from the side of stock head unit)
1 wiring harness (to plug into the back of aftermarket headunit to merge with stock wiring.. eliminating splicing etc..)
1 Installation kit for headunit (plastic lining that goes around headunit to give it a stock look, because originally it sticks out of the dash setup by like a cm..)

... the hunt is still on

Update:

I went to best buy.. they had all 3 items, 2 of which were pretty over priced in my opinion.

Wiring harness = $18.50
Installation Kit = $18.50
1 screw (same size as the one in stock head unit) = .15 cents


you can pick which 2 items were over priced..

anyway i hope this thread helps anyone in the northeast area looking for supplies to install their own Headunit..

now to see if everything works :-D

Anyone who has an installation kit, how large is the extra pocket (height, width)?

Sadly, I don't live near anywhere that installs stereo systems over the summer, otherwise I would go measure them for myself.
