It fits the Honda Pilot but leaves plenty of room on the sides.

Revain says this will fit the Honda Pilot 03. Technically yes, but it leaves a full 1/4 inch gap on each side. Keep buying if you are looking for an exact fit. If you have just the space for two dins this is good value for money.

Pros
  • Made in USA
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

Will not fit 2006-2008 models. no change

Product not ideal for 2008 Pilot models when used with the brackets supplied. The best way to install an aftermarket stereo is to use the factory brackets and simply glue the bezel to the factory dash if you want it to look factory.

Pros
  • Painted in dashboard factory color
Cons
  • Available in white only

Installation Sony XAV-AX100

This worked well for installing a Sony XAV-AX100 stereo in a 2003 Honda Pilot. It has both adapters for EX or LX. Installation was easy and worked great. The only complaint is that it sticks out about 1/16 inch from the fairing of the car below. Since the bottom bracket is mounted at an angle, I don't see a way to adjust it. All in all it fits and looks professional.

Pros
  • Specifically designed for installing double din radios
Cons
  • Exterior

JOY-D006 in a 2004 pilot car

I knew it wouldn't be perfect based on the reviews, it sits at the wrong angle and has some weird gaps and it's sticking out at the bottom and I would do. I wanted it to be a more flush fit, but it's not as noticeable and it's good enough for me. It was easy to install and didn't cost much. Sand off some of the tabs that otherwise made it look very crooked.

Pros
  • Quality ABS construction
Cons
  • Has imperfections

It installed without any problems, but the front panel did not return.

Bought for a 2007 Honda Pilot EX-L 4WD without NAV but it didn't fit properly. It installed fine, but the bezel didn't return around this unit because it was too high up in the dash. Fitting this item to this car will require some serious work. I did however purchase a 2003 Scosche Dash Kit - Honda Pilot Din Up w/ Pkt and Dbl Din Kit and it worked great with the decorative bezel. Money for this article for a similar car. The product description says it will fit a 2006-2008 EXL with the correct…

Pros
  • Dash kit for 2 single din/iso or double din radios
Cons
  • Not sure

It is installed at the wrong angle and needs to be changed. And it's no small, sitting more than 1/4 inch higher than it should. It's quite frustrating to buy a specific model specific bracket and finish the installation late at night only to find that it's not at the right angle. I was hoping I could use the screw slots on the side brackets to adjust the angle if needed to adjust, but no, a ring on the bezel determines the position of the side mounts. Added bonus, it's all cheap molded…

Pros
  • Factory Style Texture
Cons
  • The list will go on.

100% value, good for lighting and electrical

I bought a Scosche dash kit for my other 2005 Honda Pilot and there were gaps on the sides. This dashboard kit is perfect for my new 2005 Honda Pilot EX-L. No gaps and it sits flush with the rest of the rims. Definitely worth the money and it even has two different kits in the same package if you have an Ex or Lx model. The only thing I wasn't 100% sure about was which one to use as they are almost identical except one set says EX and the other doesn't say if it's lx or ex, so i wasn't really…

Pros
  • For non-factory models
Cons
  • So So

Works, Fits Well: Radio Accessory

The 2005 Honda Pilot had a new navigation system (double din) installed to replace the original standard system. This kit with two side brackets and a front pad worked great. You will also need a connector to connect the vehicle connector to your new system, also available from Revain. The side mounts are plastic, they were originally metal but they seem to work fine. The instructions included are good, but if you want more information and people's experience, do a google search for something…

Pros
  • Designed and manufactured to precise tolerances so there are no gaps between dash and kit
Cons
  • Wrinkled
