Im ordering my double din dash tonight and im getting the

AC controller and the dash... now my question is about the bracket. I have a non-nav unit and im installing an AVN5435... according to what ive read, I do not have to order the bracket and can reuse the factory bracket (some people said its the exact same). I also read that there is a possiblity of having a gap with the factory bracket. What should i do?

Also is there anything im not thinking about that i should order here
this is what i have so far :

AVN5435 from crutchfield
double din dash
ac controller
MAYBE bracket non-nav

 

The bracket looks the same. The 05-06 headunits are double-din sized chassis on the inside. If you are buying from Grubbs, I assume you can return the bracket if unused.

No I didn't do the DD conversion, but I did remove the headunit to install the Harman/Kardon Drive+Play ipod controller.

 

No you don't need the bracket I used my factory one...its the same....Enjoy your AVN i got the same one.... word of advise run all your wires now ie. rca's, and remotes camera if you got it and changer if you got it...saves you a lot of time in the future if you decide to get amps and stuff.....

 

I'm not doing the install.... so what should i ask specifically when im getting it installed to make installing amps/rear view camera when i'm at the installer. Your system is pretty much the route i want to go... with JL AMPS, a 10w6 in 4080 box, and really high quality speakers

 

Bracket isnt needed, although for the few bucks that it costs, I shouldve gotten that as well. It would simply things when doing the install. Prepping work anyway..
