Review on πŸš— Metra 95-7879 Black Double DIN Dash Installation Kit for 2011 Honda CR-Z Cars by Srivatsan Oling

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Be careful before you buy your crz

So the finish is pretty close to the original crz dashboard. The hazard and center airbag knobs do not fit the new dash kit, there are no screw holes close to the factory location and one of these was much larger, Loctite or some other form of glue would suffice, I couldn't jerkily install this danger button . although sitting is good. DO NOT USE THE SUPPLIED WHITE CLIPS I REPEAT DO NOT USE, after a few hours ready to assemble I proceeded to install, the dashboard did not sit flush in the car especially the top, I spent 30 minutes trying to get it to perfect, but after clearing my head I found I still have old clips from the original EX radio. I carefully removed the stock clips, making sure none of them snapped, and placed them on the new dash kit they fitted and the kit eventually snapped back into the dash properly. The top center clip is not a white plastic clip, it is different and orange than the factory, if someone ends up buying a kit for their Crz, be aware that you will have to modify it and spend quite a bit of time on it. So, it's not ready to come out of the box, I have an 11" ex, if this review can help someone save time I should have listened to other reviews and bought another kit. I also installed a 10" Ebay dual din radio and it took a lot of trial and error to get it to fit properly. needed with this kit if you buy

Pros
  • . Great construction
Cons
  • crumpled packaging
