Metra 95-8240B Dash Kit

Plastic feels thin. It installed easy with my unit and lined up perfect on factory install holes. Plastic feels cheap. We will see how it holds up.

Great dash kit for prius.

I used this kit to install a Alpine deck into my 2nd gen Prius. Overall I am satisfied. It wasn't too hard to everything lined up for a clean look. Be careful when installing because it is plastic and little flimsy. I would buy from this company in the future.

Metra 95-8240B Dash Kit

I just got my first car a 2005 Toyota Prius and I was looking to change the stereo. I purchased the Boss BN965BLC audio system. This item was recommended so I bought it. We installed it multiple times but the bottom piece would not fit. I am super frustrated and I feel as though it was a waste of money. My stereo does not look decent. I can't return it because my dad had to cut it so it would fit.????

The plastic brackets are flimsy, but fit correctly. The adjustable slots for mounting the headunit are a pain, most of the time spent on the install, were spent removing and installing the headunit adjusting the mounting slots.

Looks good, works good, what else is needed

Have questions for
?

It was free. Probably still too expensive.

Plastic is bent and just over all looks cheap. I also thought that I would be able to keep the factory slot under the radio and there seems to be no way with my double din unit. I am going to try and make a replacement from the factory mount.

Ok

Looks ok, not great. Would have preferred a plastic finish closer to the stock dash on the trim panel. Instructions on what holes to mount the brackets to would have saved some trial and error.

Fit perfectly both on my radio and into my dash. The outer frame fits my dash and the radio absolutely perfectly and looks like an original piece of the car.

Was very easy to install, just not the cleanest looking. Would be great if it fit better.

Works good

The kit is good, everything lines up, you have to screw it all together and unscrew it a few times to line up the radio correctly. It has the OE finish on the outside trim piece which is nice.

Pretty much fits. The thinnest part of the trim ends up slightly bent.

Worked great in Prius, but only really needed the dash trim surround. Was able to mount the stereo in the stock bracket

The faceplate is a perfect fit for my Prius, looks really professional and matched the dash around it. That portion is 5 stars. The mounting assembly is trash, extremely flimsy and pretty much worthless. Luckily the original metal assembly worked out fine on my new unit. One star on that. The resistor others have mentioned is definitely a pain in the ass to put in, and you have to be super careful not to accidentally cut one of the two wires you're splicing into. I also dropped some solder (not strictly required to do but definitely a good idea) on the floor of my car so now I've got that there forever. Unfortunately that seems to be something you can't avoid without messing up your climate control, not a fault of the part but it would be nice if they had a way to build in the resistor into the wiring harness or whatever.

Needs improvement, but you need it for installation

The 68 ohm resistor installation is a disaster. They should have provided some shrink wrap tubing and connector pins so that it could be installed into the mating connector. That would have been the professional way. Instead, we have to settle for a hack job. 1 star. The plastic snap-in dash molding part that makes the radio look seamless to the dash looks good. 5 stars. The two plastic mounting brackets were not needed with my Kenwood DPX792-BH and are way too flimsy. Use the original metal mounting brackets instead for a much more robust and secure mounting setup as well as better chassis grounding. 2 stars.

Looks good, feels flimsy

Compared to the stamped metal brackets with the factory radio, the plastic brackets are flimsy and barely hold the radio in place. There's also a lot of play in the radio depth - getting it right is a royal pain. It does look nice when it's done, though. They also give you a random 68 ohm resistor to splice into an internal connector, with no explanation other than "you need this for climate control to work". This is apparently true, and also a pain to install.

Fit my Prius and looks stock. I have a double-din DVD that swings open and it clears this kit perfectly. Kinda flimsy but solid when installed. Exceeded my expectations.

Did the Job

I used this dash kit in a 2004 Prius with a JVC head unit. It did the job but is pretty cheaply made and feels flimsy.

Perfect fit. It also is about the same color of the dash around it, allowing the new stereo to fit in seamlessly.

Fits and matches perfectly

Trim panel fits and matches perfectly. Used original steel bracket for new double din pioneer radio . Holes lined up perfectly. Just had to trim lower storage compartment.

quick and easy to install - looks like it belongs in the car

Super easy to install the kit - black plastic matches the dash. Materials felt a little cheap but they look fine once installed.

Good kit

I installed this in my girlfriends Prius to fit the double din unit I bought. The fit is perfect. I did not use the brackets that go to the left and right of the unit. I actually used the metal ones that come factory with the car. I really don't see why they are even in the kit. Since it was a double din I only needed the face plate that went around the unit. The color in my opinion doesn't match perfect but it's close enough. It only is noticeable in the right light. I think that issue should be brought to manufactures attention. But that's the only reason I gave it four stars. Other then the slight difference in color it is a perfect fit.

The fit and finish is just right. The kit I received did include the pocket. It uses the existing pocket to hold the mounting bracket together.

flimsy and does not fit well on 2005 Prius

I end up using only the front/surface piece, as the plastic sides are simply too flimsy, and I end up using the factory sides. The front piece do not fit well with my Kenwood receiver on the 2005 Prius.

Metra Trim Kit Commentary

I conducted extensive research on which double-DIN trim kit to purchase for my second gen Prius. You have (2) brand options: Scosche and Metra. I read user review and watched videos of finished installs for both trim kits. The Scosche product has a graining to the trim. The Metra product has a smoother finish to the trim. I believe the Metra's trim will better match the shinny plastic of my 2005 Toyota Prius' dash. Note that if you have a later year second gen Prius-say 2008-the Scosche product may better match your vehicle's dash plastic, as the later years have a graining to them. User reviews of the Scosche product did not seem positive. A YouTube reviewer that installed both trim kits said that the Metra product has a better fit / seats better, compared to the Scosche unit. I will update the community once I receive the Metra double-DIN trim kit and install it.

The metra kit that comes with it is by far the best fitting for the Prius. The Scoche kit has a nice wiring adapter that has no need to wire a resistor into. I did by the Scoche kit for only this plug and play adapter. Then used the metra for everything else. The metra kit fits like factory with even gaps and color/texture that matches perfectly.

Good

I got my radio professionally installed. Overall happy though its not a perfect fit. Feels a little flimsy and the bottom right corner sticks out a bit but it covers all the empty space.

Was the proper fit and looks great cradling my new double din unit.

installation package

does an adequate job of holding new unit but flimsy plastic doesn't instill confidence; trim surround piece for my car had to be modified to fit which seemed strange since all double din radios should be the same size
