Wrathernaut's Double-Din Installation FAQ, Shopping and Resource List
#1577
Need help trying to find a 2003 to 2004 JDM double din kit for navigation and would like to keep dual climate control. Have read some of the very helpful post on how to and what is needed, however I just can't seem to track down the part, belive the part number to be 68260-0304TC. As well is it possible to just hack off of the original "OEM" finisher/din to a double din size and just buy the ac contoller not the metra rubber buttons.

You can't buy the 03/4 with dual climate preinstalled unless you find a used one where someone already did the conversion. There is a diy video link at the beginning of this thread on how to do it (thanks to wrathernaut for this ridiculous amount of compiled info). You can probably pay someone to do it if you cant. At your own risk of course.

Thanks for the reply, I was able to find the controller but no finisher with it. I did also watch the video of the dual climate control button swap. So just to get this right are you saying that the JDM ac contoller has the circuitry but just not the button and led that has me slightly confused.

Thanks for the clarification, any chance that you might know where to get a JDM DD kit. Links on this post no longer seem to have this item last I checked. Been checking around all the dealers don't even seem to be able to find that part number, I see a few people state they received theirs from a dealer. Maybe the ones in Austin just don't want to help no luck with Cali either.

Thanks for the heads up. Man I think I will just suffer till maybe on day I can get lucky and maybe they will have the kit with ac controller. DD kit no controller $238.00 cheapest controller out of stock 199.00. Slightly crazy dremil sounding like the best option cut myself a DD if/when I find a controller.

Just a tip/opinion for anyone who gets a JDM kit, but has stock gray nav buttons:
Switch your black JDM AC control buttons with your stock gray buttons so you don't have the two different color buttons. It makes a huge huge difference.

I have the willow kit, (which looks a LOT better than I thought it would) and did the dual climate button thing, then switched buttons. I broke the temp button, so that ones black (despite the glare), but otherwise looks stock as anything could. Thanks again, wrathernaut!

I can make it semi flush and regain the aux, but still not be able to reach the removable face button.
Or I can make it not flush at all and keep the features, but have it look awful.
