Review on πŸš— Scosche HY1612B Double DIN Dash Kit for 2007-12 Hyundai Santa Fe, Non-Nav Models Black by Eric Dailey

Revainrating 1 out of 5

If you want to disappoint your dad on Father's Day, this is the way to go.

Pure junk. Absolute rubbish. Failing on so many levels. I bought my dad a Pioneer DEH-150MP because his 2007 Hyundai Sante Fe had a factory stereo failure. And before anyone thinks I'm mean because this is my first car radio. This isn't my first rodeo. Installed 8 car radios. Always standard DIN size. And I've never come across a dash kit that's so outlandish. And Pioneer DIN-size radios follow the DIN-to-T standard (this is important for the rest of the review!). So this dash kit (which is a misnomer to call it that) fails on so many levels. main problem. After final assembly, the Pioneer DEH-150MP housing does not fit. What the hell!?! This is a din/double din kit. Should it also fit without a storage case?!?Okay, so just put the Pioneer DEH-150MP in it.WAIT WHAT. The radio itself does not fit!?! 0_oSo it should have been done. My father, mother and two little nieces went abroad. The CD player was an absolute must for Sunity with young children! So I took a pair of scissors with me. I had to tear apart the plastic to fit the radio to DIN dimensions. I had to tear further to fit the DIN SIZE RADIO SLEEVE. Dimensions are very important. This is not a dashboard. It's a bunch of plastic trash. And the most pleasant. Each screw holder needs to be attached separately, which is time-consuming. Now, thanks to Scosche, I have a good radio in my dad's car that sucks. Many Thanks. - You, Skoshe. Skosche is to blame. If they don't want to stick to the standards and sizes that have been around since 1984, they won't get a penny from me. I suggest that you avoid this product and all other Scosche products unless you are concerned that certain items are correct. And so you will not disappoint your loved ones. Avoid Scosche products. PS My father noticed when I showed him that the radio and especially his sleeve did not fit. He understood. But even with the Pioneer DEH-150MP bezel, you can see the crops I was forced to.

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Something different
