Great Product, Leader in Electrical Engineering

Used to fit an aftermarket Pioneer 6.2" touch screen dual din stereo to a 2008 Chevy Avalanche Ltz. Fits snugly with the screw holes and clips on the front panel. Nice creamy look

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Appearance

Buy a METRA dashboard kit instead

Pretty flimsy dashboard kit. Although I worked as a car audio installer I should have known better than buying a Scosche kit for my 07 Yukon rather than a Metra kit. This scosche kit is very flimsy and will take a few tries to get your DDIN device flush where you want it.

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • unreliable

Not helpful for me: radio accessories

I don't know if this is an earlier return, but the screws wouldn't cut into the holes on mine. This item was so cheap I just threw it away and bought another at my local stereo store that worked great. It looked new, but either the threads in the special holes were torn off, or it wasn't worth buying at all.

Pros
  • sturdy design
Cons
  • boring packaging

2.5 stars or less for Radio Accessories

The plastic of the kit goes very well with the texture and color of the factory. The facilities could definitely be better, but I've seen worse. My main criticism is that the screws that came with it were too small. I had to go to Lowes to get the right size. The included screws are number 8 and don't bite at all. No. 10 fits perfectly and tightly.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Upgrade Availability

DO NOT THINK THIS IS SUITABLE FOR STANDARD BLOCK DOUBLE DIN 7 " TO 4 "

DON'T LET THIS FUCK YOU, THEY DON'T TELL THEM IT'S NOT THE REAL 7" (10mm) (10mm) FITS 4" INCH (100mm) DOUBLE DIN STEREO. The inside dimension of the trim hole is only about 6.5 inches by 4 inches. Buy either the metra or the scosche GM1598B version. Don't be like me, trust the amazons with your device.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Nicely built but not very suitable.

I was planning to use this kit to install a Kenwood DNX575S in my 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali. The kits from another supplier fit horribly - the head unit was too low and had gaps on both sides. The Scosche kit could have worked with some trimming but still didn't look standard. At the same time, I bought the Best Kit BKGMK318 Double Din Installation Dash Kit for 2006-2013 Chevrolet vehicles as both kits are only a few dollars each. The Best Kit is an absolutely perfect factory look kit. It has

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
