Looks Better Than a Hole In The Dash, Barely

Written By Rachael, N. Seattle, WA on Tuesday, May 07, 2013

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

As others have said, unit doesnt fit very well in Ford DIN holes. Needs a little filler behind front bezel to keep from rattling. Used a little felt glued around the edges to snug up the fit. Was forewarned by the Advisor about this fact. Bezel is rather ugly and doesnt fit with the aesthetic of the rest of the interior. But better than a hole in the dash. Will be looking for a OEM replacement.

Pros:

* Better than a hole in the dash

Cons:

* Bezel is rather ugly and doesnt fit with the aesthetic of the rest of the interior * Requires modification to work well with Ford DIN holes

I guess as far as kits go, it is as good as most. I wanted more instructions. Since I had used one before, I eventually figured it out.

Pros:

Does work decent

Cons:

More instructions would be nicer. Or better illustrations.

Looks good and fills the empty space up

Worked great on my 2000 Mustang

Written By Anonymous, Atlanta, GA on Saturday, July 21, 2012

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

I installed a new stereo and also installed this DIN pocket replacement, in place of the factory CD player. It wasn't a perfect fit, but another reviewer on here recommended using a silicone sealant, which worked like a charm. They recommended black silicone, but I used clear and it is still a nice professional look.

Pros:

Does exactly what it's supposed to do.

Cons:

Not a perfect fit, but silicone sealant makes it work.

Universal DIN Pocket

Written By patbmc, Texas on Friday, December 30, 2011

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

Our 2000 Mustang has a separate receiver and cd deck installed from the factory. We put in a new Kenwood Stereo from Crutchfield and it fit great. But, where the cd deck was removed it left a hole where you could see into the dash and view the wires. This universal DIN pocket was the perfect answer. It covers the hole nicely plus allows a great place to put your Ipod while hooked up to the reciever. The fit was pretty good, just a little loose. We slid some thin gasket material, with a little black silicone smeared on, and placed them on the top and bottom of the pocket. This allowed the fit to be tight with no rattles.

Pros:

The handy tray looks great and nicely took care of the hole left where the CD deck was removed. No modifications required to fit.

Cons:

Instructions and pictures where rather vague but could figure it out. The fit was a little loose but not too bad considering it is a universal pocket.

Could be better

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

I was able to creatively make the pieces work for me - certainly didn't work straight
out of the box. I had to drill holes through the plastic and really use a lot of
imagination to see how and then to make it work.

I was a complete newbie to this, so it took a few hours of study but in the end, it
doesn't look nearly as bad as I thought it would.

Perfect Fit

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

Purchased to fill in the space in a Chevy Prism that originally had a stock 2DIN
size radio when I replaced with a 1DIN size Sony unit. It fit without having to
drill or adjust anything! And I was expecting to have to do some serious
modifications to get it in - so I was very pleased.

Confusing description

Written By Dave F., Philadelphia PA on Tuesday, November 16, 2010

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

The description is a little confusing. I ordered this for a custom application where there
is no aftermarket radio adapter (88 Buick Reatta). I ordered this kit because I thought it
was a universal DIN radio mounting pocket but it's not. It's a pocket that takes up the
extra space in a dash that had an original radio that is bigger than a DIN. It is way too
small to put a DIN radio in to. When I opened the package and looked at the
instructions, I found that it is not even universal, it is made for specific applications. I still
may be able to use it to take up some extra space under the radio, but I will still have to
find something to hold the radio in the dash. It was cheap enough to take the chance to
see if it would work, but i wouldn't have even ordered it if I had known, or if the sales rep.
had told me what it was.

Just what it looks like

Written By Jon, Indiana on Wednesday, August 19, 2009

Installed in a 2000 Ford Mustang

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

This worked good in my 2k Mustang. The pocket is made of top and bottom sections which can separate. This makes it easy to add ipod / aux wires which lead from your head unit. Since you can drill a hole where the two pieces meet, then pull the wire through before assembly, it's easy to create a hole that your connector can't slip back through when installed.

Put the front of the box on first, then install the side rails. This eluded me for a bit.

My box fit well, but didn't fit tightly. It rattled a bit until I shimmed it with some cardboard.

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

 

Bought this pocket to fill a DIN opening left behind in my dash when I replaced the factory stereo. The instructions were nearly useless and I had to use a hammer to "convince" the pocket's brackets to slide all the way on. But it works and looks fine now that I've got it together and installed.
