🔧 Metra 99-2011 GM Multi Kit: Optimal DIN and Double DIN Radio Solution for 1990-Up Vehicles Review

I followed the instructions exactly as shown in the figure. Well it didn't work out. So I emailed the company and they replied that you should use common sense when installing it. They also said I need to buy another one and take it to an authorized Metra dealer. They refused to guarantee this even after I sent photos of their targets marked with a symbol indicating it would not work as described. So it's best to throw the instructions on the heap because they have no idea what they're talking…

What a pile of smoking junk. I followed T's instructions. Removed all tabs as shown. Try to attach yourself to the deck; nothing lined up. Have you tried installing the deck into the dash after creating my own mounting holes and the tabs don't even come close to aligning with the dash slots? Who arranged this atrocity?!? Now that I've done exactly what the extremely convoluted manual says, of course I can't get it back BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED! Things that would be the best investment…

For other models, the instructions seem to be clearer. Unfortunately, the plastic pieces that were meant to…

Purchased for a 2004 Toyota Matrix. Definitely suitable for this make, model and year of car. However, the supplied instructions are incorrect. It says which petals to snap off for the matrix, but after I snapped them off and then removed my old radio, it turned out I had snapped off the wrong ones. The instructions clearly state which tabs to remove, but it's the wrong tabs. My take: first remove the old stereo and use the old bracket to see which tabs need to be broken off. Apart from the…
