Watch the video on YouTube @coyotemike/ great product.

Fits my 2012 F150 FX2. Watch the video on YouTube @coyotemike. Excellent bezel, easy to install. It's easy to transfer parts to a new bezel. Definitely recommended and would buy again.

Pros
  • Very fast delivery
Cons
  • Not bad

Clean, fits easily in my 2014 F150 STX

Upgraded my base F150 radio to a 2 din radio. This kit offers a clean look, unlike the Metra Dash Kit I tried first. This is a dashboard kit to upgrade your radio with two speakers. Despite the description, this kit also fits exactly on a 2014 STX with base radio.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Upgradeable

MISSING PARTS!: Car Audio Video Installation

I ordered this dash kit in the hope that it would only be a direct replacement, which I think it should be. The brackets that attach to the radio and hold it to the dashboard are not included in my kit. I had to go to Walmart and buy a kit for the 08 and modify it to work just as badly as it does now. I would like someone from the company to get in touch with me to fix the problem so I can have my radio fixed so it doesn't look as stupid as it should.

Pros
  • Permanent Test Results

Bought after disappointment with Metra version

Bought after disappointment with Metra version. That hole in it fits a stereo much better, but placing the stereo where you want it is trial and error. It does not index the bezel. You are completely independent. The matte finish isn't as pretty as the factory texture, but I found it a bit nicer than the Metra. It also comes with a small storage compartment if you want to mount a DIN.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Not sure

Very clean in a car AV installation

So looking everywhere everyone says this is the best aftermarket kit. I agree, for me it's better than the factory! But the included wiring harness is for older f150 models. It will still connect, you just need to find another source for the power cable. It was hard to find a 2012 wiring harness that didn't cost over $100, so I decided to give it a try. Everything is currently working. I didn't buy a steering wheel control adapter, that's another $150 for something I rarely use. So 5 stars it…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Negative impression

Better than Metra

Received this with the Metra kit for my 2012 f-150 XLT. The workmanship leaves a lot to be desired and shows any markings or fingerprints that may be present. But goes well with the color and relative trim of the truck. Compared to the Metra, no decorative overlays were required and no extra gaps were left. It feels thicker and looks "more normal" than the Metra. Please note this is for F-150 with a screen above the stereo and will not fit XL with old style double din or 2013-14 F-150 which…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Frequency

Best radio frame option for Ford F150 09-14.

This Scosche radio bezel is the best (imo) for 09-14 f150 body for aftermarket HU! I bolted this into my 12 f150 xlt with a kenwood dnx892 hu, it looks great and sits flush with the HU. I used to have a Metra that came with Crutchfield's 892 but didn't want the 1/2 inch bezel which was smaller than the bezel. It just looked weird. If you are installing a stock xy in a 09-14 F150 this is the bezel you need. The Scosche can be seen sitting flush while the Metra has a flat finish around the HU…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Excellent quality and durability

Bought and installed on my truck about 2 years ago. I like to wait a bit before leaving a review as I've actually been using this item for years and I can honestly tell you if it's good or bad and how it's holding up. This component is of very good quality. . It has some kind of rubber coating which I was concerned about initially thinking it would come loose, but it looks like it's been two years since I put it in the truck. There was no cracking or anything else you would expect from an…

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
  • Something different

it works. kinda

I've seen a lot of people saying it doesn't fit XL trucks. I was afraid it would happen but didn't worry too much about it. My truck is a work truck, no looks, so it doesn't matter if it's an inch shorter. I'd rather have a small gap at the top that's not as noticeable as the huge gap I had between the dash and the stereo. . can't really break the kit because it's a brilliant Ford design. I don't know why they spend RND's money and time to make the same dashboard for all trims but still have to

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Suitable for F-150 Excellent!

excellent kit Fits my Ford F-150 perfectly. I will also link other items I used for my setup below. If you don't already have something like this installed, I'd recommend watching a YouTube tutorial. Dismantling the dashboard is pretty easy, I've been able to do it several times without damaging anything. I will also write reviews for other products. The only thing I changed is the small hole you can see in the top left corner above the screen. This was so I could use my remote line for the…

Pros
  • a beautiful thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
