Double Din dash kit

Post by shane_c »

I was looking at the Kenwood DPX 301 and 501. Does anyone have one of these? Who makes a dash kit for the double din receivers? Only ones I seem to be able to find is for single din.

You don't really need a kit for a double-din radio. The only thing it does is cover up the space on the sides since we have a 'wide' double-din space. The Metra kit also supports double-din radios.I know some, like a recent JVC model I can't remember, had a piece of plastic that went around it for cases like this.Since our dash is toyota, it's technically an ISO mount, not a DIN, so the radio is actually secured into brackets instead of just attached in the dash.
