Fits, but the documentation is WRONG!

I received this bracket when I bought an Alpine iLX-407 stereo. I was installing it in my 2006 Honda Pilot EX-L. The bracket comes in 3 pieces: left side, right side and face frame. There are 6 pieces in the package. The instructions say that one set of 3 is for the LX model and one set is for the EX model, which I have. The parts are clearly marked. I used the 3 EX parts and assembled it onto my new stereo, but it wouldn't fit in the dash. It was ¼" too tall to fit in the dash because of the angle of the brackets. The face frame was correct, but I ended up using the "LX" side brackets to get it to fit. So I used: LX side brackets and EX face frame. The parts were clearly marked WRONG. Metra needs to fix this issue!

Worked well. The kit came with 2 sets of face plates and 2 sets of side mounts. Stereo sits nice and flush with faceplate and sits in dash as it should.

Badly Labeled

Strangely enough, the pieces that have "EX" stamped on them are not for the "EX" model of car, it's completely unrelated. It added about 15 minutes to the install job because the instructions don't say which one is which, and you won't notice that you've chosen the wrong set until you're already putting it in. Otherwise, once I chose the second set of brackets, they fit great on my 2006 Honda Pilot EX.

Nice, could be better.

This worked out well but the words written on the pieces don't match the model of my vehicle, so I had to experiment with them to find the correct one. Added about 15-20 minutes to the project.

Fits well enough, had to take a razor blade and file to the cast mark to make it look better (where the plastic entered the mold was visible on top). Kinda flimsy but NOT sure it needs to be sturdier. The texture matches well with unit and vehicle decor.

Dash Kit for

I was able to modify this dash kit to fit my 2004 Honda Pilot EX-L with Navigation and new Kenwood radio/GPS. I had to cut off the plastic screw tabs from the side mounts, and file down the top and bottom flanges of the face-frame (that fit against the radio) to eliminate the curves as I needed straight flanges. I placed the modified plastic dash kit onto the radio, secured the OEM metal brackets, over the plastic brackets, to the radio. Finally, I screwed the metal brackets to the vehicle. The final setup looks really good with the vehicle dash reattached.

Doesn't work with 2007 Honda Pilot

This kit does not work with the Kenwood DDS6906S radio and possibly other double din radios on the 2007 model of Honda Pilots (LX) AWD without navigation. Trim bezels do not fit (too tall) of a lip. Side brackets do not put the radio in a position that allows the dash trim to be reinstalled.

Metra 95-7861 Dash Kit

Did not fit my 2007 Honda Pilot - the mounting brackets were too high so the trim pieces would not fit. This is a known issue so I am disappointed that Crutchfield would not include the alternate kit from Scosche that did fit. Added unnecessary time & frustration.

2007 Pilot EX-L without NAV

This is not for the 2006-2008 Honda Pilot without NAV. The facelift for the 2006 model changed the dash and this does not fit into the factory hole. The Scosche HA1703B is the product that fits. Crutchfield lists it only for the 03-08 Pilot WITH NAV. This may work for the 03-05 model but not for my 2007.

Works great!

Would have given 5 stars but instructions could have been a little more clear. A detailed wiring diagram would help as well. If the vehicle harness is missing it takes quite a bit of research to figure out what goes where.

Close..but not exact fit 2008 pilot

It was off. The mounting holes on the receive and the faceplate matched up perfectly. It did not fit into the mount correctly. Needed a 1/2 spacer on the top to set the angle right. Frustrating but fixable. Plus the slots should have been bezeled..the material is plastic and thicker than the metal mounts. Since it was a flat slot it could not use the original screws (too short) and I had to cut the plastic to slant the edges.

Flimsy plastic, and it does not fit. You can use washers behind the top screws and tilt the unit down to where it mostly fits, but it is not a perfect fit y any stretch.

Metra 95-7861 Dash Kit

This head unit doesn't not properly fix my 2006 Pilot EX w/out nav. It needs shims in the top and longer screws to make it work, and even then the kit and head unit are angled once you snap the dash back on. Buyer beware. Other than not fitting, the quality is good and the finish is very good. It just doesn't line up right.

Not normal Crutchfield quality

I have the same issues as mentioned in other reviews. Does not fit in a 2006 Pilot without loosening the screws which is not the best way to mount an expensive head unit. It would be great if Crutchfield would actually fix the issue. Looks OK but it is enough off to really bug me every time I look at the unit.

This does not fit the 2007 Honda Pilot. Crutchfield, I expect better from you. This sits about a quarter inch too high. I had to loosen the 2 top screws so it could drop down and fit.

I ordered a Sony AX100 head unit & got it with the install kit including the Axxess steering wheel control interface, That included this Metra 95-7861 bracket. I got everything working & went to put the center dash bezel on & found it wouldn't fit because the head unit was sitting way too high. I called tech support & the only thing they could tell me was I must have put it together wrong. I explained there's only one way it can go together & they put me on hold for a few minutes. When they came back the guy said I wasn't the only one having this problem! He offered that Metra had a note saying it was real easy to install the brackets upside down & I should check. What I did do is google the problem & found this is a very common issue with that bracket in a 2006 Honda Pilot. It just isn't made right! I ended up buying a different brand from another source after reading reviews from people that had been down this same road. Sorry Crutchfield, but feel let down on this deal.

Product did not mount radio at correct angle, ended up using mounting brackets from removed radio and just propping the faceplate in position

doesn't fit, but you can make it work

The reviews about bad fit up on the Pilots are correct. There's no adjustment to this kit. That's a problem because it does not hold the new radio in the correct position and does not allow the fitment of the trim. I corrected it by installing washers at the top screws to tilt the unit down and allow the trim pieces to fit. However, once installed, the kit is not flush with the trim pieces. It's not terrible. My radio is installed and working so I'm happy. That's why I give it two stars. I sympathize with the people that have struggled with this kit. I just got creative to make it work. Also, it's cheap and flimsy. The more i think about it . . . . . not sure why I'm even giving it two stars . . . . .

Buyer Beware

Buyer Beware. This product does NOT work in my 2006 Honda Pilot. Even after the 40 minute support phone call that ended with blaming me because it has to fit...I must be installing it wrong. Seriously? There are three pieces that only fit together one way. Support rep was rude. Which is odd for Crutchfield. Second rep was better and offered another kit in case the first was bad. Ok, thanks. But the second kit had the same problem. So I called Metra (kit manufacturer). First words out of their mouth were "Yep, we know it's a problem with certain model Pilots. We're working on it." So thanks, Crutchfield, for selling me a product that doesn't fit and belittling my installation skills when I call for assistance. And for those that DO get this product and it doesn't fit, the only workaround I found is to loosen the bottom screws enough so there is "play", leave the top screws out, and then tilt the radio down as you re-install the factory trim. The finished product will be slightly loose and not the correct angle, but at least usable if you need to get it back together while looking for alternate solutions.

Metra 95-7861 Dash Kit

This kit is made from some lightweight plastic or composite material. And, while it seems inexpensively made and flimsy, it may have actually worked to my advantage, in this case. For my fit (a '06 Pilot), the unit lined up perfectly with the factory stereo mounting bolt holes... but due to it's designed angle, it seemed to be off by 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch when reinstalling the dash/stereo cover. However, because the material has some give to it, I was able to shoe-horn the stereo and kit into the proper position, allowing the dash cover to fall into place and the stereo to protrude where it should have (without gaps on any side). So, while the kit ultimately worked, I can't give it 5 stars due to a poor fit.

Wrong kit for 2005 Honda Pilot w/Navigation

I purchased this kit for a 2005 Honda Pilot EX-L w/Navigation to replace the factory radio in the bottom portion of the dash. Unfortunately, I was sent this kit, which is for the Honda Pilots without the navigation, where the radio is mounted at the top of the dash. The two models use different dash kits. Had to stop my install because I didn't have the correct part. Now I have to find the correct kit and complete the install on another weekend. Got the dash pulled apart, old radio removed, and cant finish the job.

Imperfect alignment with dask opening

The dash kit was not quite centered vertically in the dash opening. I holds the head unit too high by a millimeter or two. Consequently I had to leave a couple of mounting screws loose on the head unit so that it could tilt slightly to acommodate the misalignment. It is barely noticeable in the installation but it bugs me and it might work loose later.

Seems cheap, works though

I like Metra, but this particular kit just seems cheaper than most I've tried. It's a 3 piece fit, and there are 2 different options for the trim. If you have an LX you will use the smaller face trim plate, if not you use the big one. It is a Tight fit! Took me a few tries to get it into place because I felt like I was prying the Head Unit to get it down far enough to pop it back together.

Metra 95-7861 Dash Kit for 2006 Honda Pilot EX

Like others, I found the bracket was slightly off when installing a double DIN radio in my wife's 2006 Honda Pilot. The angle wasn't quite right--the deck was angled up too high, which meant there wasn't enough room at the top of the radio for the dash piece to fit, and a quarter inch or so gap at the bottom of the dash surround. To correct the angle and make it work, I added quarter inch thick washers behind the bracket for just the top screw on each side when attaching the radio. Thankfully the screws were long enough to catch thread, and that additional space angled the radio down just enough to get the dash in place. Once it's in and all the dashboard elements are in place, it fits and looks fine.
