Metra Double-Din Kit

[triplezoom]

Looks like Metra finally released the double-din kit. For $13.50USD, thats not bad at all. (Part number is 95-7504). Just wondering if the texture and color will match.

Im assuming for the '04 & '05 gens, the wires off the JDM kits would just keep the clock function lit for the LCD?

[MPS]

i know with 07 you get climate and out side temp and 05/06 just out side temp no clock no trip meter that's part of ur head unit

The metra that just came out down not include the clock screen, One is coming out soon though. For now its a DIY kinda thing, you can find instructions on m3f.

Whoa...I'm going to order one (Yeah I'm getting my double din setup sooner then later) and I noticed that one pace is selling it for $38 US and the other for $15...What's the difference between the two?

[MazdaTree]

I'm pretty sure they're the same!

I talked to some guy on m3f he said it doesn't pop out or anything when you hit bumps... and he has it installed.

For $20 shipped you can't go wrong!

^^ I'm getting one of those Meta kits when I get my D3(Hopefully next month) :)

[azn_outlaw]

I wonder if the Metra kit, just like the Japanese one like Mazdaspeed one is selling..

allow you to keep the Outside temp in the LCD display..

would anyone know if the Metra has a controller like the Japanese one?

[MPS]

no they don't Metra wont even let you keep ur LCD

[royroy]

no they don't Metra wont even let you keep ur LCD

i think if u wanna keep the LCD u need to make a custom bracket urself...

[EMAGDNIM]

I wonder if they ship to Canada...


We will find out...I just placed my order with tx-radio.com...

[MazdaTree]

I also found it here for a good price (pretty much the same)

I have that exact kit, for my single DIN HU. (It gave me more storage room). It's not bad. The fit is okay, but it isn't perfect. You can tell if you look at it for a second.

[EMAGDNIM]

I'm still waiting on mine to show up...

[wingnut12]

They've had the same part number for 2 years now. Maybe they ordered mine from the states, but I don't think they had to.

[EMAGDNIM]

I got my dash kit today...It came faster then they had told me...Best $20US I've ever spent. Now to get my D3 and install this sucker...

[wingnut12]

D3?

What's that, a flip down?

[MPS]

its a 2 DIN

I got my call today so I just have to go and pick it up...I'm just waiting on my new iPod cable to arrive (Monday) and it's all going in...

I can't wait. I'll make sure to take a bunch of pics of it going in...

[Ex-Rolla]

Hey guys, for those of you who have the Metra double din dash kit installed, are you happy with it? I'm going to install a clarion double din unit, so i'm curios as to how the installation worked out.

thanks!

[wingnut12]

I personally like mine. The fit isn't 100%, but it's close, and the extra storage space is nice (assuming you don't fill it with something else).
