Good quality and good fit overall

Very good. The only complaint I had was that the bottom shell feels cheap, but I put a fuzzy flake in it (from flockit.com) and now it's very good. It's so built into the car that it's very hard to tell it's not OEM.

Pros
  • Fits me great
Cons
  • Not sure

Satisfied: spare parts

It was more than I expected for this price. I have installed other car stereos and the kits were flimsy plastic. This one was of high quality and made of thicker plastic. The price was less than half what I would spend at a large electronics store.

Pros
  • weight
Cons
  • silent

Exactly what I was looking for.

I used this bracket to install the Pioneer AppRadio on my 2009 VW Tiguan. While it doesn't perfectly match the internal plastic, it's surprisingly close and better than any other plastic I've seen. I wish they offered different models for 2 or 1 din just because I didn't like cutting out the cross brace to fit a 2 din stereo.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • 0

Product does not work 2005 VW Passats as listed

It was only after trying to install that I found out that it only works for 2006+ Passats and not 2005 as listed. Went to the local shop and paid double to get the correct one. Can't complain about the customer service as I didn't even try to contact the seller (too lazy). I hope they change this paragraph to say Jetta 2005+ and Passat 2006+.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Very Expensive

But for the price I like it and will do it

This product works well with the Kenwood radio, it holds the radio firmly without bouncing. I give it 3 stars for the fact that the matte black is a bit out of sync with the rest of my dash, but that's inevitable. Another reason is that there is a small gap around the head unit. Probably 1/8 inch at the top and bottom of the radio. But for the price I like it and I'll get it right. I bought it with my own money and checked it with my honest opinion.

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Good but not great

Good fitment kit easy to center

It is really designed for a single din radio. A bezel is included, but you'll need to cut the center section off to fit a double din. After some trial and error centering the main unit, I finally managed to lock it in place with minimal visibility that the radio wasn't a 100% perfect fit. It fits, but you need to make sure you set it up correctly. I recommend this to anyone looking for a cheap install kit and suggest giving yourself 30 minutes to 1 hour to get it right.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • No car

Not the worst, but could be MUCH better

The plastic is flimsy and doesn't hold up well on the stereo. There should be much stronger plastic and more material. I ended up stuffing some pieces of foam to make the main unit stop bouncing and vibrating. The tray is nice but the holes in the back seem like a good way to lose things on the dash as they are on the underside. The holes are barely too small to fit the rear USB cable that came with my Kenwood head unit, but a little sanding with a dremel got it working. The color of the…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Upgradeable

Disappointingly good for spares

I was very disappointed with the look of this dashboard kit. First, they claim that it matches the color of the standard dash for a specific Jetta line; it is not. Poor quality paint, visible bubbles. They were also sent with no padding in the box meaning parts of the dash kit were rubbing together removing some of the paint. The paint will also come off during installation if you are not 100% careful; Even with the dash tools, the professional installer I used couldn't help but scratch parts…

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Very expensive
