Serves its purpose, but cheap plastic.

Fairly weak. Be careful when installing. Especially if you are trying to install a head unit. It wasn't very impressive, but it worked.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Can't remember

Revainrating 5 out of 5

does the job. Not difficult to install.

Fills in the extra space left over after replacing a double din car stereo like the Monsoon head unit with an aftermarket single din stereo. Offers a pocket for multiple CDs or whatever.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Available in black only

Don't waste money!

It would be great if the kit included screws for installation as intended! The tabs on the side broke right after installation. Generally rubbish! I will not buy anything from this company again.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • The list is getting long.

Fits perfectly in my car, really saves a life but sometimes it felt like it slipped out a little. I think it was the way they installed my new radio cables because I used to unplug them and wiggle some of the cables and then plug them back in and never had that problem again.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Modern

Good product! suitable for audio/video installation in car

This product fits my Jetta 02 perfectly, maybe even too perfectly. It fits well, but when it's in, it's in. So make sure you do it right and set it up properly because once the head unit is in place, it will be difficult to remove it without the head unit removal keys. It's so designed for stability, which is why I'm giving it four stars. Should come with directions. Or just the best travel destinations in general.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Nothing here

WARNING: USB cables will not go through the back of the case

This fits perfectly in the remaining slot when I changed the double din radio to a single din radio. I have no qualms about the fit and color as it makes the room perfect. The problem I had with this product was that the cable holes on the back weren't big enough for a standard USB cable. I was trying to run a USB cable from the back of my head radio through the back of it so my iPod can sit in my pocket without dangling wiring all over the car. To solve this problem I simply used a Dremel. Cut

Pros
  • Several competitors
Cons
  • are unreliable

Great for the price

First of all, the OEM replacement dash is over $100 at major VW/Audi dealers. Not wanting to pay that much, I turned to Revain. Yes, it's plastic, and no, it's nowhere near as good as the OEM Dash Pocket. But it does its job very well! It's incredibly light and perfect for my car (2003 GTI) when I removed the factory dual noise and switched to a single noise. I give 4 stars, but I am very satisfied with the result. There are also small holes on the back, making it a trivial task to run a USB…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

The building is garbage at best.

Fits Volkswagen Jetta Gl. So I pull out the factory stereo and stick this thing in. I have to admit she looks good. that is, until you put a CD player underneath it. As you know or will find out it is very difficult to fit a CD player in this Jetta as there is not much space for harnesses and cables. So there will inevitably be some shoving and filling. With minimal external pressure from the CD player, it will push against the bottom of the bag surface and break the tabs. This leaves you with…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Socket required
