Got my D3 and my scosche dash kit in. Didn't think it would work because of people here saying there was a lot of modding you had to do to it. All I did was cut the bar with a kitchen knife. Worked perfectly. Now I just gotta do a little sanding. Not bad for $12.

Looks good....now try fitting 2 single DIN units into that kit...from my experience that is where the problems occur lol

Looks good. I have the same kit waiting to go in. The color looks like it matches pretty well too.

Majestic

Yes. Color matched perfectly. At first when I used the regular mounting holes for the D3 it was mounted a little too high. Then I used another set of holes and it was perfect. And to think I was going to pay $125 for the GXE dash trim.

Looks good. $12 > $125 in this case.

im happy for your success.

last time i installed a deck with a Scosche kit though, it held together like crap. I felt that after it was done it was going to fall apart by itself, or if i touched it the wrong way. This is not the case with Metra, I prefer metra to scosche all day long..

but if it works for you, then great!

I actually had a metra kit but it was a single din kit. Perfect for a single din radio. However it couldn't easily be modified to fit a double-din.

Also the color didn't match.

lucky i want a d3 since i helped my friend in stall one a couple of months ago in his yota

That looks very nice to me. A lot smarter choice than the GXE $125 piece of plastic.

Btw, I'm envious of your leather seats. I'm really tired of getting shocked every time I touch my door after stepping out of my stupid cloth seats.

Dunno bout fitting perfectly and the color definately doesnt match well...

[/QUOTE]



It looks better but you can tell its not a pefect fit and again the color doesnt match very well...



[/QUOTE]

I know this one is a bit more expensive but looks and fits perfectly...




Just my opinion...

From what I've read, the GXE kit leaves a small 1/2" opening above you radio.

Also that's the one I was referring to that costs over $125.

1/2 is a BIG gap... No gaps here... It was well the money spent...

I got the Scosche kit for my AVIC-D2. I didn't like the way it fit. It was so recessed everytime i ejected a CD, the bottom of the screen would rub against the plastic. So I sanded and sanded the Scosche kit, now my D2 actually sticks out, but I like it, and NO GAP!

Sounds good and that kit looks good. However, $115 saved is a LOT of money.

Mine is recessed a little bit but I like it. They may have put more screw mounting holes on the D3

Majestic: What are you refering to in regards to sanding?

djfrestyl

iTrader: (89)

The kit had to be cut, and then the cuts should be smoothed out by with sanding.

So the kit isn't a direct fit, i take it?

djfrestyl

It is, but for single din. For double din, you have to modify.

Majestic

iTrader: (9)

Correct. You just have to cut the plastic bar if you have a double din. It even says it in the instructions.
