Aftermarket stereo help

I am going to replace the OEM HU with something aftermarket. Where could I get a 1DIN finisher from ? Grubbs sells the DD kit only. Also, I remember seeing somewhere on this forum a 1DIN kit that can be turned into a DD kit, but can't find the post. What are my options ?

PS: I have an 07 coupe with dual climate controls, no navi. Any extras that I will have to purchase if I decide to go aftermarket ?

Thanks in advance !

I don’t think anyone makes a single din kit for the 05-07.. you may have to mod a DD kit like this..

I don't intend to go cheap

Beebo, cool, is that your setup, looks good. Wish you could do a pocket underneath the stereo for extra storage. But all in one, I might just get that. Who else besides Riverside Infiniti offers that kit ? Oh and before I forget, what about the dual ac button, I see it's missing.

What if I would do two units ? A flip-out screen and some digital media receiver like the Clarion or Alpine, with bluetooth and ipod integration ? Would that work ?

Metra makes a kit that has a single DIN option.

no thats not my setup... im sure you can mod it to have the extra storage.. id get the kit from Grubbs or riverside.. the daul climate control button has to be taken off off the stock unit and put on the DD kit

Why not. AFAIK, the 05-07 are the same.

The Metra kit is a good kit for the price but it looks cheap IMO. Get the JDM double din kit and just get a nissan Maxima pocket. If you want to do a flip out and an audio processor of some kind it is indeed possible.

Check out my cardomain page (linked in my sig) I cut out a piece of black ABS plastic, used the dremel to get it right, and then used the extra single DIN blank space to mount some buttons and gauges.
