Does NOT fit KENWOOD Radios, specifically 7909S

Got my radio + install kit and everything else that was included, said everything was going to fit and it didn't, ended up wasting 3 hours of my time fiddling with it and trying to get it to fit and couldn't, even called crutchfield support and they couldn't do much about it. Honestly if you're going to install a radio in your 4runner recommend not going with this dash kit, it could potentially work but needs heavy modification to work.

Does not fit, too much to adjust to make fit.

Bracket require lots of adjustment and headache to fit proper. The side fillers are too large for the space and don't fit properly. Had to cut and modify to make somewhat useable. This made the brackets useless, and with the amount of adjustment, not worth it. Used the factory bracket and mounted the modified fillers directly to the radio. This took hours to get and acceptable look. I guess the good news is that they were basically free with the full install.

Does what it says on the tin, though a little flimsy.

Simple dash kit, though a little flimsy. Once mounted to your double din unit, build is not much if a concern. Instructions showed a different Metra unit, but was similar enough to piece together.

Metra 95-8210 Dash Kit

product fit great into my 4 runner but had a few hiccups with installation of the kit.. the holes to hang the head unit within the dash kit would not align regardless of position on the new head unit, so I set the unit into the dash and fit/anchored it in with the rest of the dash components due to inability to properly align holes. I will also say that there is limited space to use my volume control dial with this dash kit, which is just a simple design flaw that I plan to dremmel some space for ease of use of the volume dial in the future.

Cheap and flimsy, modifications required to fit 08 Toyota 4Runner

This kit was apparently made for 2003 and 2009 Toyota and Lexus vehicles. I dont think so. I have a 2008 4Runner and the stock radio has a bit of a curve to it. The kit allows for an installation of a new radio that can only be adjusted horizontally (as in slide in/out). Because of the curve, this kit should allow for a small, tilt adjustment, to match that curve. Otherwise, either the bottom of the new deck is either too deep into the kit, or the top portion of the deck will protrude about 1/4 of an inch. I had to use my Dremel to drill and enlarge the existing openings, which took longer than the installation of my new deck. Even after some modifications, Im still not happy how the deck currently sits. I may need to buy another kit, as now I know what needs to be done to make this a better fit.

Not a perfect fit for my '06 4Runner Sport w/RDS, but pretty close. With that said, I'll probably end up going to the 95-8202 so that I can use the factory brackets which are significantly sturdier than the plastic brackets included in this kit.

Fit Ok with lots of cutting and trimming

Works OK for my Toyota 4Runner with some work. I didn't know anything about this unit as it was suggested as an installation package from Crutchfield. Their plastic mounting bracket does not line up with the existing screw holes. You will have to do some small trim and cut here and there to get it to fit. Even with that, it requires some force to fit in the bezel and ended up cracked one end of the bezel. I would rather go with the Metra version that allowed you to use your existing metal mounting bracket. I would recommend that Crutchfield not to use this kit for the 4runner. If I have to remove my head unit to add something else, I would order the other Metra kit where I can use the existing metal mounting brackets for a sure fit.

Crutchfield response on

Modified this kit to work around missing hardware

My kit came missing the screws for attaching the side brackets to the front trim. I opted to use the steel mounting brackets off the OEM radio and epoxy the trim bezel to the dash trim. The new radio felt better when secured with the OEM brackets.

Crutchfield response on

modifications necessary

Final installation is acceptable in my 2005 4Runner, but certainly not a perfect fit. Installation was a real pain and took major modifications with grinding, sawing, and cutting to get the final fit correct. (Modifications were made to the kit not vehicle).

Crutchfield response on

good looking in the dash

Good looking in the dash with great fit. I needed to cut out the brackets to accommodate the head unit mounting brackets as they interfered with each other. Not a big deal, the plastic cut easily with a coping saw, but it was more work than I was expecting.

Adequate but flimsy

Adequate for the purpose installing a double din in my 2005 4Runner, but the HU mounting pieces only barely clip to the faceplate so it is a bit shaky when reinstalling the dash surround. For my purpose, the SCOSCHE TA2079B with a comprehensive mounting frame worked much better.

Could Be better

Does as it's intended. Downside is that this specific dash kit makes the Sony XAV-AX100 volume knob difficult to easily operate due to the head unit being set back to far.

Crutchfield response on

Metra 95-8210 Dash Kit

This dash kit is just a face plate and two side trim pieces to hold the face plate. However, the two side pieces do not actually align with the head unit mounting bracket so they're pretty much useless. You end up having to just press the face plate against the head unit and hoping that it doesn't fall off when you put the center console trim back on. This dash kit looks awful and the only reason I keep it is because without it I would have two large holes next to the head unit. This kit is absolute garbage.

This kit does not fit a 2003 4Runner SR5 V6 without JBL & Navigation. My receiver (Kenwood DDX374BT) barley fits inside my dashboard. I haven't had time to cut this dash kit to fit, but it needs MAJOR trimming to fit. The bottom piece is way too wide and the sides are also too wide to fit in the dash by itself without the receiver. Good thing it was free.

Takes some work

I had issues with this face plate, as far as the car it fit well and looks good. On the other hand the first head unit I got was a Blaupankt and it would not fit. Not even close.... The second unit I got was a Pioneer MVH-AV290bt, it was close but I did have to shave the plastic to make it fit. The face plate has rounded corners and the radio of course had square corners. After some filing, sanding, and then polishing the plastic again it fits and looks good.

Crutchfield response on 1/14/2015

We're glad we were finally able to get you the correct kit for your truck. As it turns out, you can't even rely on the trim level of the truck to determine which kit is the right one. It's the specific radio in the truck that is the final determinant, and that can vary in each trim level. This kit, the 95-8210, fits trucks that have factory radios with RDS. (There will be an RDS logo and a separate RDS button, both along the top of the radio.) If your radio doesn't have this RDS callout on the face, then the 95-8202 is the proper kit. Thanks for taking time to submit your review and don't hesitate to contact us if you have any other problems with the situation or need anything else.

Item does not fit the Clarion CX-501. Side to side it fits but up and down its to short by about 1/8". I was able to make it work by cutting 1/8" off the top.

Does not work for SR-5 4runner

The team I worked with at crutchfield had a hard time understanding that the SR-5 and Limited have different dash configuration. They do, I saw it. Really. They keep shipping this kit made for Limited for the SR5 4runners. They did this twice. The SR5 uses the Metra 95-8202 In-dash Receiver Kit but you have to call customer service and tell them. They still ship the wrong one but it is worth a try.

Fits the opening but may not work well with your chosen receiver

First of all, this unit is the best available dash kit for my installation application using Kenwood's new DNN990HD. That being said, it did not fit as shipped and required MAJOR cutting/dremel work to modify it and allow for the faceplate of the Kenwood to rotate freely. I was not planning on needing to do this and felt less than comfortable making these modifications. Ultimately it came out OK but lees than completely satifsied with the ending asthetic result. To Crutchfield's credit, they sent me two additional kits at no cost when I mis-cut the first ones.

does not fit 2006 4runner

This kit does not fit a 2006 4runner with JBL or a Pioneer AVR-4400BH. Substantial trimming was necessary to get the head unit to even fit it. Mounting locations do not allow the kit to sit flush with interior moulding. The kit is however more closely matched to the interior than the Metra 95-8202 which was originally shipped with the head unit.

Not for a 2006SE JBL w/o Nav

This is the metra 95-8210 kit and it didn't fit my 2006 SE with a non-nav JBL/six-disk head unit. I was installing the Kenwood DNX6960 and this kit came free from Crutchfield. The kit brackets mount onto the factory brackets and have little alignment bumps that mate with detents on the factory brackets. Basically, you'd have to be trying to mount the kit brackets wrong. With the kit brackets mounted, three of the four factory bracket holes line up - not a big deal. The problem is that the bezel will not line up with the kit bracket attaching tabs. Not by a long shot. To get this kit to work, you'll need a dremel tool and a flat file to remove a lot of plastic from the back and sides of the bezel. Looks like this kit now has two bad reviews. See my good reviews on the PAC TATO and SWI-JACK that were installed along with the Kenwood.

Crutchfield response on

Big communication problem

Well this looked nice and somewhat installed correctly except it is not compatible with a 4Runner that has OEM nav. So if you choose that you have a JBL and RDS system (which nav models are) then you will notice that this is offered to you. IT WILL NOT FIT YOUR DASH CUTOUT! You will have to find and use the ones that are little side tabs if you can find them in stock. Also this is not a Crutchfield problem all vendors show this to be correct it is just that the companies that make all these trim kits not just this brand do not include nav models in their research. Hope crutchfield does more research and fixes this so its more clear. [Editor's Note: Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We have confirmed that you are correct, and have corrected our database.]
