I want to get a new head unit and i was wondering which dash is better.. The metro kit or the jam one. The JDM is like 300 bucks... IDK if it is worth it. Which one matches the color better? Do both keep dual climate control?

PS: I have tried researching it but have not found what I wanted to hear so that is why I am making this thread..
Thanks

 

Comparison shots of them are around this forum, here's one example:

I'd only recommend JDM, just consider the $300 the cost of doing it right, period. Then ask yourself if you'd done it right, would you let somebody pay you $150 to ruin your interior with a mismatched part?

The JDM is the only perfect match, the Metra is close on color, but material, not even close, especially 05+.
2003 & 2004 JDM require you to transfer the DUAL button since they didn't have dual in the 03-04 JDM cars. 05+ did, so you can get DUAL on JDM for 05+ with no extra work. Metra has dual on their kits.

 

I really want the JDM, but that **** is expensive as hell. But it does look 1000x better. But if you can deal with the Metra, go metra for cheap.

 

no dont go metra ull regret it. I got the jdm and this thing looks beautiful. no stupid rubber buttons or anything and it fits perfectly with the same exact color. Trust me spend the extra 125-150 bucks and get the jdm. One of the infiniti dealers on here just got them all in and has a huge sale on them u can get any one u waunt for like 300 shipped.

 

Go with JDM, no questions asked...I recently installed it and will say that it looks as like I just cut out the factory HU and put my DD in, perfect match!!

 

I just installed my DD and I was debating the same thing and I went with the JDM and I'm glad I did. The fit is perfect the buttons mach, no regrets spending the extra cash well worth it.

 

I would go with JDM, Its only 300...

 

Really, it's a little over two tanks of gas in difference.

If you can't afford gas, you're driving the wrong car.

 

Get the jdm kit.. metra kit looks like garbage!!

 

True. Im gonna get the JDM
