Very frustrating for use on my 1992 acura integra. Did not fit properly and required a lot of trial and error modifications. A seemingly easy installation turned into hours and hours of hassle

Cons:

Improper fit

This receiver kit gets the job done but it's a little flimsy. Knowing what i know now I would have gotten the double din sized stereo for the Honda.

Pros:

Gets the job done.

Cons:

Flimsy design.

Uncomfortably Snug Fit

Written By Anonymous, New Jersey on Wednesday, January 02, 2013

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

Overall it does the job, but not very well at all.

Pros:

The trim looks fine.

Cons:

The fit was off by about half an inch, causing me to have to force it into the dash, putting a lot of stress on this piece, as well as the surrounding interior panels. We'll see how it holds up after a few weeks. The disassemble instructions for a 99 Acura CL are completely incorrect. If you have this model, you will find the Accord instructions much more helpful. The original stereo mount is metal, and this one is a much flimsier plastic.

3 stars, would try a different kit next time

Written By Konvict_1, Seattle, Wa on Monday, December 17, 2012

Installed in a 1997 Honda Accord LX

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

The fitment of the product was a C+ at best. The opening in kit for the deck was actually slightly ovaled out in that it bowed outwards in the middle. This allows the deck's mounting bracket to be seen slightly when the receiver is in the slot with the trim ring. If i ever take it out for some reason, i'll paint the mounting pocket/bracket black so it is less noticeable. I also didnt like how the kit with the deck installed "slumped forward" and did not support its own weight when mounted to the car in its stock location with the stock two bolts. the install kit uses the frame of center console to support the front edge of the deck and hold it upright. I was not a fan of this. It needs to come with a sturdier bracket.

Also, the directions for disassemble of the car missed a critical screw thats buried in the center console. Thankfully I happen to have done some work back there before and knew of the screw and didnt snap the powel/tang/screw off but for someone new to this car, they have a 99% chance of doing so.

The other kit available through crutchfield got such low reviews that i tried this one. In the future ill pay a few dollars for a better fitting, heavier built installation kit

Pros:

Easy install

Cons:

not that sturdy and uses the center console frame for support rather than being strong as a stand alone piece.

Gets the job done...well!

Written By Derek M, Santa Cruz, CA on Monday, July 16, 2012

 

I used this to install a "hand-me-down" Sony MEX-1HD into my girlfriend's '97 Accord LX. Getting the old stereo out was more difficult than popping in the new one with the dash kit. The fit is flawless. At first I had a gap between the bottom of the pocket and the dash faceplate, but then I lifted up on the pocket and pushed the bottom lip in simultaneously and everything snapped into place perfectly. Looks great with the rest of the trim. I had no issues with the supplied instructions, just had to follow a car-specific set of instructions first before moving on to the general installation directions. Took me just over an hour to start and finish the job with a long dinner break in the middle, so I'd say 40 minutes tops as an absolute beginner working fairly slow.

Fits with a bit of a gap

Written By EnergySamus, California on Friday, May 25, 2012

Installed in a 1994 Honda Accord EX

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

Installation was easy using a Sony CDX-GT565UP in a 5th Generation Accord EX Coupe. Like others have said, if you are using a DIN, bend the tabs on the sleeve, it does make for a tighter fit. The only problem is that on the right side of the kit, there is a small gap between the console and the kit that is not present on the left side... Not noticeable unless you look closely though.

Pros:

Remove the old one, slide this one right in. Simple/easy to follow instructions are included. Looks like the original.

Cons:

A bit plastic-y, but still sturdy. Left a small gap that wasn't present before.

Worked Great in 94 accord

Written By Piston99, Los Angeles, Ca. on Saturday, March 10, 2012

Installed in a 1994 Honda Accord LX

 

This worked great in a 94 accord. I was skeptical at first that nothing would be there to support the front of the radio but found uot that the black full length factory bezel takes care of the front just fine.

The only thing I wish the kit had included was the 2 screws that allow the attachment of the kit's rear support to the factory bracket in the bottom of the radio opening. If you are removing an existing radio you would already have these screws. A trip to the hardware store for 2 M5.8 x16 mm screws and 2 M6 washers was what I need to complete the install.

Pros:

Easy 10 minite install. it took longer to solder the wires from the facatory harness adapter to the radio harness than mount the radio. Nice having a pocket. below the radio. I am not sure why the Crutchfield shopping cart defaults to the other model (120997890) with no pocket and no rear support.

Cons:

Wish it had included the two required M5.8 x16 mm screws and 2 M6 washers to mount the rear support of the kit to the car.

fits, but looks kind of bad

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

The receiver kit has a different finish than the black plastic in by dash board; it's more textured and darker, so it sticks out a bit. Also, it's not completely flush with the dashboard, so I can see some of the top of my silver radio, between the receiver and the dashboard.

Pros:

fits, easy to install

Cons:

doesn't look very good

1994 Acura Integra

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

Does the job and fits well! Should fit all integras 94-01 just fine. I assembled according to instructions and it popped right in. Before this I tried one made by Scosche from WalMart. I figured its just a dash kit and they should all work about the same. I was wrong. I returned the Scosche one to walmart and ordered this one.

Pros:

Works as intended!

Cons:

none.

this mount does not work with the 94 Acura Legend unless you remove all the tabs and glue it in the opening. I ended up making my own mount and cutting the pocket out of this mount to glue into mine.

Follow directions and have patience

Written By Fourspeed, Wisconsin on Monday, October 24, 2011

Installed in a 1994 Honda Accord DX

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

After reading the reviews, I was worried that this would fit poorly. Happily, it fits just fine.

First, don't worry about the directions. They're fine. There is a section specific to each car model, then a section the applies to all models. I put this in a '94 Accord. The side tabs must be removed - that is plainly shown in the instructions. I had no issues with fit.

If using a DIN pocket, bend the tabs on the metal DIN sleeve BEFORE sliding it into this. It'll snap in and fit tighter.

The plastic bracket seems flimsy, but when installing the factory trim, move this adapter up slightly, and it will be supported on the front lower edge by the factory trim piece. The plastic rear bracket plus the support in front is sturdy enough.

Pros:

1. Does what it should. 2. Rather than the other model that gives you a 1/2 hole, this kit gives the factory-style "pocket". 3. Included with my stereo.

Cons:

Two screws suppied seemed to be too small for the holes, but they did the job.

This kit works after drilling a couple of holes to get the radio mounted. Plastic bracket that attaches to the car with screws are too flimsy and almost broke due to weight of the stereo.
