Looks nice, not really functional

This looked nice and fit over the face of the deck nicely, but it would not allow me to remove the face off of the deck. I could barely press the button to release the face, but then I couldn't get it out. I had to remove this in order to get the face off.

American International HON-K808 Dash Kit

Perfect fit! And can hold the radio receiver chassis as well without issues. Due the the design of Honda, not this product, it can be removed by hand so some adhesive is recommended to keep the bumps on roads from moving the plate around. But that won't be seen from the outside. The inner piece (take it out before the radio install or the receiver chassis won't go in) clips in just right with the face of receivers as well for a factory look unlike many adapters. Color is slightly off of the dash black color, but isn't something you'll notice without a picky eye for detail. If this does not fit your Civic your car has been modified in the past, it's literally as close to plug and play as a product can ever be.

Perfect fit

When Crutchfield says they put the time in to perfectly measure vehicles for their products to fit, they really mean it. This bracket fits my 1998 Honda Civic Coupe perfectly, and fits my Pioneer Head Unit perfectly. Not to snug, and not loose. Perfect fit, and the plastic isn't brittle.

This is why I purchase from Crutchfield

This is why I buy from Crutchfield. They offer the best installation accessories available. The fit and finish is always perfect. The install is always clean and tight when you are done unlike the sloppy junk that you get from other retailers. Now if they could just get Honda to take notes on how to make things that go together and come apart without complications.

In the beginning, I didn't know the faceplate could come apart into two pieces. Doing so allowed for better assembly of the trim ring.

Not fancy, but gets the job done

This receiver kit is a 2-piece design. Take the two pieces apart, put the first part in the dash, secure the head unit cage, slide the head unit in, and put the trim ring on. It's as simple as that. The design is pretty underwhelming. There are other kits out there that may give a more "factory" look, but the price was right on this--free with purchase of my stereo. I can't take the faceplate off of my Pioneer unit (not a big deal to me) and there is a bit of a gap between the front of the head unit and the trim ring of this kit. I wish it looked as good as it does with Pioneer's standard trim ring (which must be removed), but that's the way it goes.

Crutchfield response on

Simple elegant

It's the finishing features that make the install, hiding the wires and mess, making it feel custom. Thats exactly what the trim does. My only problem after installing my Alpine CDE-HD149BT was it was too recessed (my prior Kenwood was perfect in the dash)-98 civic. After re reading the book it appears its not the trim, which is the same in both cases, I might have missed attaching some plates to the radio that were in the box, DOH! Looking for those now, but once done I have no doubt it will look as factory as my Kenwood did.

Crutchfield response on

Nice fit.

When Crutchfield included this with my car stereo purchase, I was not sure what to expect. I purchased a Kenwood KDC-X997 and hoped it would look much more visually appealing than the aftermarket walmart stereo and kit that was installed. The receiver kit was easy to install and looks pretty nice with the Kenwood. My only criticism is that it looks like the stereo is somewhat recessed. I think given that it's not a factory stereo, it will obviously look a little different and just takes some getting used to. All in all, I think it's a good kit and I'm glad it was included from Crutchfield.

Crutchfield response on

Works as advertised

I had first bought a Boss Audio 612UA stereo (one of the cheapest I could find for this old car), but the face on the stereo was too big for this receiver kit. After putting in the outer trim, then putting in the stereo, the inner trim piece wouldn't fit. I ended up taking the Boss back and purchased a Pioneer DEH-150MP. The inner trim piece is a little snug and I can't get detachable face off the stereo, but i'm not too concerned about that. It looks great and matches the rest of the dash, and that's really what I was aiming for.

What can I say? It's an easy to install plastic receiver mount. It went in easily. You need to bend out the actual receiver metal mount to get this to stay in place, there is nothing on the plastic mount itself to hold the bracket. It worked well and it fit properly.

Great Fit

I used this to install a Kenwood KDC-x596 in my mom's '96 Honda Civic. It fits the dash great, but it's a really tight fit to get the Kenwood's faceplate on and off. It's doable, but tricky.

barely works

i'm glad this was free, because if i'd paid, i'd certainly want a refund. doesn't sit flush and barely squeezed into place. also due to sizing issues, i can't install the head unit's trim ring, and the one that comes with this kit won't fit around the faceplate either. also the depth is all wrong for my alpine unit, so i can barely find tabs to bend to keep it in place. the coloring is also off. the metra one is much better than this.

The receiver kit doesn't sit flush with the head unit. You can see gaps between the outer plastic ring and the deck. Not ideal but functionally it works.

Have questions for
?

Crutchfield response on

Closes the gap

I used this with an older Sony with a flip down face. The flip down face would catch, so I had to trim the bottom edge. Others have said the same thing. Make sure you don't trim too much. There is an existing groove on the back side that seemed naural to cut along, and now I can see a little of the DIN cage. Wish I would have trimmed less. Other than that, It fits fine and looks good. It does exactly what its supposed to.

Nice and clean

Some people say they had problems with kit. I didn't. The instructions tell you they are 2 pieces. Better than the Walmart ones.

Have questions for
?

Crutchfield response on

Useful but not universal; the instructions could be better

I had Mike of Sacramento's experience: I didn't realize at first that the bracket was in two pieces that must be separated before you install the radio. The master sheet for my 98 Civic suggests that you use it all in one piece, and that's just not the case. The correct order should be: split bracket in two; put the rear half in the dash first; then install the DIN sleeve; then install the head unit; then install the outward-facing trim ring from the receiver bracket. Also, the outer trim ring that you'd normally use to finish off the installation may not work for all head units. The Sony CDX-GT700HD that I installed has a thick, fold-down faceplate that won't work with the outer trim ring from this bracket. The Sony trim ring mates perfectly with the rear half of the receiver bracket, however, so all is well.

Have questions for
?

Crutchfield response on

Take It Or Leave It

I opted for the standard trim (recessed 3/16" inset from the dash) and it looks fine. It might be a little more difficult to remove the dust but it sure makes removing the faceplate easier.

Have questions for
?

Crutchfield response on

Works perfect

Works great. Only problem I ran into was I didn't realize that it was two pieces (one that is inserted before the radio is placed in the dash, one that snaps in after the radio is placed in). If I had either read the instructions, or looked at the piece a bit more closely, I would have done it right the first time. Once I installed it properly, the deck worked perfectly, even folded down for inserting CDs. I suspect some of the other people's problems may relate to this, or just different decks (mine is a Kenwood KDC-MP528). My only complaint and it is very small, is the texture of this piece is slightly different from the surrounding pieces, but it isn't a big distraction.

Looks good, a bit tight

This bracket fits well with my 97 Civic dashboard. It was easy to install, matches the contour and doesn't leave any gaps. The unit I installed has a removable face, but this kit is so tight around it that I can't remove it very easily.

Modification necessary!

A great looking product, easy to install but... I had to do MAJOR modifications for this to work with our Alpine CDA-9884 deck. The faceplate for the deck would not flip down due to interference between the buttons on the faceplate and the plastic trim. I had to shave off nearly 1/3 of the material on the trim to make the system work (for access to the CD player and for faceplate removal).

Trim ring isn't compatible

I ran into the same problem as listed above. The faceplate on my Alpine headunit doesn't clear the trim ring. The mounting bracket works well enough, but on the whole I'd say the kit isn't compatible with at least one Alpine unit with a folding face.

Crutchfield response on

Clean, professional look

I ordered the dash trim kit for my '97 Civic to cover the areas where the stock radio used to cover, and installed it without a problem. I'm satisfied with the product, besides the fact that my Alpine receiver has a faceplate that folds down and this inside piece to the trim kit stops it from folding down to insert a CD. I kept the inside piece off and inserted a standard trim ring and it looks nice, better than before.
