Installed a Scosche double DIN & Pioneer AVH-4200NEX this weekend
#32
Not yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did one. I'd love for somebody to get detailed measurements on the controls, since they seem to have gone for stock dimensions. Might be an exact or slightly modified fit to use them with the 06 stock trim and just cut out the radio opening.

Scosche Kit
Hmpf I got my factory radio replaced yesterday. Install was fine and the radio is great (Pioneer AVH2330NEX) but the dash kit from Scosche is a horrible match for my car. The installer says they installed the II1652GMB-Gun Metal (Dual Zone Climate) kit and gave me the box that shows that code but it isn’t even close to the color that it should be.
Anyone else have this issue with the Scosche dash kit?
I'm mad I didn't just go with black like Emotion Lotion. At least that looks like it was done on purpose. Not sure what to do now.
AWFUL color match

I did a vinyl wrap on mine. Looks awesome.

I too am looking to get a Scosche kit that will match my 03 silver dash, but have been unsure which color to go. At least now I know GM is not the color! Will hopefully be able to figure out if Pewter is correct, or bite the bullet and get the JDM kit.

I'm totally pissed about it. I have yet to hear back from Scosche. The "Gun Metal" version is the lightest, silver gray they sell if you look at their website. Since I have the titanium silver dash (which it looks like you have as well), I figured it would be the correct one. As I said in my email to them, there isn’t even a hint of brownish tones in any of the dash kits on their web site.
At this point, I can't recommend buying the Scosche dash kit to anyone. And I HATE the look of the Metra kit. I would tell you to pony up the bucks and get the OEM if you want to be sure it's right.
I've contacted the installer (Car Tunes Atlanta) with my concerns. I'm hoping not to have a drag out fight with them about this. They also did not use the PAC ROEM-NIS2 harness and the radio sounds awful. They used the harness that came with the Scosche kit.
Sigh. Why can’t people just do the job right in the first place?! I'm going to have to find a friend who has a garage I can work in next time and do it my damn self!

Thank you for posting - that is crazy! I would take it back to the installer and insist he either swap it out for a matching unit (maybe pewter is the correct color?) or vinyl wrap it as suggested below!

Spoke to installer this morning and he agreed the color is off and he is speaking with his Scosche rep to get a resolution. I never got a response from Scosche. We'll see.
He said that the PAC-ROEM-NIS2 "runs hot" as he said. That the volume would be high by the time it got to level 1 or 2. Sounds like BS to me, but he did say that is what he would do.
Any thoughts?

Dropping the coin on the JDM kit is looking more and more worthwhile!

Point him at my DDin install thread with its mountain of confirmed installs if he thinks he knows this particular car better.

pkdesign is exactly right, I wish I had read this before ordering on Car ID. The picture makes it look like Gun Metal is the match I need for the black interior with silver radio trim. So that's what I ordered, however, when it came, it looks like it matches the beige interior with grey radio trim. So I sent it back and now there's an extra charge to switch it out! All website's I have seen misrepresent the color. Pewter is the lightest/shiny silver. Gun metal is the medium-grey. and Charcoal is the dark grey/black.
btw, Car ID does military AND veteran 10% discount...
