My Bro is looking for a Double DIN mount...

He bought a double DIN deck and wants the proper center peice for it, I know they have nice ones that look factory for the 03' - 04' but not sure abot the 05' - 08'

Thanks in advance

Roy

If you want the quality ones get JDM one, if you dont mind crappy buttons get METRA its much cheaper.

JDM = $300+
METRA = Under $100 (I think)

I picked up my JDM mount from Tony at Riverside. I think it cost $350 CDN for the mount and new AC controller, not 100% sure though. Here's a thread with pics of both

Does anyone know of a good place to get this done in the GTA? I guess i would order the parts, i would do it myself it just seems like i don't have any spare time lately. Also what head units do you guys suggest - i was leaning toward the Kenwood DNX 6140. Thx in advance for any help

I got my JDM kit from Riverside as well. The metra kit RUINS the interior of the car and it will likely **** you off looking at it from day to day. I thought about the Metra kit and then thought about how after it would be installed I would likely be unhappy with the product...and wish I had spent 200 more.

I got my Dual Din DVD deck isntalled at KHF in Markham, however I have also had good experiences at Audio Heaven in Richmond Hill.

Try pm'ing TroysG, he does it on the side and may or may not take the job. He did mine and did an super excellent job, put in a dnx7120, steering wheel control, bluetooth add on, ipod cable to my glove box and rear camera......

I was looking at the 6140 previously, i would suggest you to get a 7120+, full touch screen looks really awesome and stock.....

also got jdm dd from riverside, looks way better then metra

You might already know but the only difference b/w the 7 series and 8 series is the bluetooth, you'll definitely want to get it since of the car cell phone law..... I was able to find a deal where the 7 series and add on parrot bluetooth was cheaper then a built in all in one 8 series...
