Probably out of luck. on Lighting & Electrical

Not sure I just came up short but couldn't find a matching double din stereo. The size/cut of the plastic at the factory just didn't match the spec, so it didn't fit. I ended up sending it back and spending even more money on the SCOSCHE version which worked great. Aside from the double din not fitting, the overall quality was great. This is a very neat looking part that I would fit into my car with no problems.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Clarity

Manufacturing defect - please read before purchasing

The temperature controls are incorrectly shaped. This thing has a job. Let the new head unit work with everything else from the factory. It went wrong. After the irritation went away, I hit it with a Dremel sanding drum and knocked off the handle's pivot stops. The knobs still stop at either end of their rotation - giving your air conditioning knobs a macho twist of torque can damage the air conditioning. If it was expensive I would return it immediately. Look elsewhere!

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • I will write later

Temperature controls are not shaped properly

This is easy to install and fits very well, almost perfectly. My only issue is that where the temperature adjustment knobs are there are small plastic stoppers that prevent you from turning the knob too far and they are upside down. That means plugs that should be down are up, preventing you from turning on the air conditioning or adjusting the temperature. I have to leave the handles slightly extended so I can bypass the stoppers to even use my air conditioner. The last picture shows how far I

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Exterior

Happy to have an aftermarket stereo in my car thanks to this product

I bought this because I needed to fit an aftermarket stereo in my Honda Fit because the factory display died. It took me a long time to be sure it would fit my 2 din stereo but it looks nice. The only thing that bothers me about this product is that it doesn't sit as flush with the dash as the stock product. It sags a bit in places, but that doesn't really bother me since I'm the only one who actually sees it and knows about it. to exclude the possibility of using a single or double DIN. butโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Modern

Poor fit, all plastic

This dash kit for the '08 Fit works most of the time, but the quality is a lot lower than I was hoping for. The plastic has to be physically cut to accommodate the double din stereo, making the fit messy, and the mounting rails simply snap into the plastic, resulting in a wobbly mount at best. The kit then snaps back into the car's dashboard with metal mounting clips that you have to reuse from the original - which can't be removed and replaced with a good fit - and once it's back in placeโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Not sure

Expensive compared to other adapter types

This is the ONLY adapter that will work with the first generation (2007) Honda Fit. Nobody else does. That's why they charge for what they do and not $14 for almost any other car. Other than that it worked fine and I was able to install the radio on the adapter side with no problems. (This was my first time installing a car stereo so it took me about 8 hours to fully do it between googling and looking for extra parts like screws and cable adapters.) The color of the plastic doesn't exactlyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Null

Missing details. in electric

I've installed hundreds of Metra dashboard kits, most work great. However, this one isn't that good. I would give him a 2.5 if I could, but I have to give him a 2. Benefits - allows you to fit a radio in a Honda Fit. The price is not bad for a brand new dash required to fit the radio. Fit. When using a single din radio, you will get a small bag. Cons - The fit is very poor, the trim ring around the radio does not sit flush. Looks very poor. The radio does not snap into place very firmly whenโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
