Not compatible with 2DIN radio

The only thing included in the kit designed for 2DIN radio is the bezel that fills the gap around the secondary stereo. It has no mounts for the radio on the car itself. My car had a crappy single din block when I bought it and it had an aftermarket frame. I've now spent $14.99 on it, even though all the instructions say to reuse the OEM mount, which I don't have.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • There are new competitors

Best for 2008 Xterra Electrical

Fits my 2008 Xterra. Came with extra rings that don't fit anywhere. For the installation you need to remove the metal cage/bracket on the head unit and use the plastic cages included in the kit (left and right triangular elements with many screw holes). Single din is enough. It doesn't seem to move or rattle once installed, but it's all plastic so I don't know how well it will hold up. It seems sturdy enough for everyday use. If you plan to ride on fairly bumpy roads, the material/design will…

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • Can't remember

Not compatible with Nissan Xterra 2007

I ordered this item for the dual dashboard. During installation I found that this product will not fit properly without modification. To use the double din panel I had to cut 2 tabs that attached the panel to the car's dash panel. If you have a built in DVD player with a motorized bezel, you will then need to sand or file the small edge surrounding the inside of the frame. This made installation more painful than necessary. Ultimately, I'm not happy with the look of this item as it doesn't look

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Almost OK

Very good! on radio accessories

I read reviews that the product is plastic and thin. That's not the case. The product is made of plastic, but very durable. I was very pleased when I opened it. I haven't installed this in the car yet but it seems to fit perfectly and I don't see any difficulty installing it. secondary radio. I particularly like the additional storage space under the new radio. I have installed many aftermarket radios on dashboards over the years and this kit will make that installation incredibly easy. If…

Pros
  • The price is excellent
Cons
  • I will not say anything

2007 Nissan Xterra with Pioneer AVH-X2700BS Head

This product was used in a 2007 Nissan Xterra with Pioneer double din head. If you have a single DIN application for Xterra then this product is likely a great solution. However, when using the double DIN standard, you only need one block, so the rest of the product ends up in landfill. To top it off, it was impossible to use this fairing with the Pioneer AVH-X2700BS without mounting the unit too deep into the dash (ie not flush) as this part was smaller than the front of the unit. Since there…

Pros
  • Hands Free Operation
Cons
  • Unbelievable Price

Double DIN Kit - Look Elsewhere!

Should have heeded previous reviews. I have a 2006 Nissan Xterra and upgraded from a single din (previous owner installed) to a dual din Pioneer AVH-X5800. This kit was one of the only solutions to my needs. But he can't believe the manufacturer actually tried to use their product on the dashboard it claims to work on. A MASSIVE excess and waste of plastic if you want a double din part as it's just a piece of plastic and the rest is useless. Now for the front panel you need. It has 2 protruding

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Not as thick as other collections

Don't order a double DIN radio.

I should have read the reviews before buying this item. I have used Metra adapters and harnesses in the past and have always been satisfied, but this one does not fit as a kit for double din head units. It looks like it would be nice to install a single din radio in a Nissan Pathfinder factory double din dash but no use for the double din Pioneer stereo I bought. The only part in the double din kit is the bezel and I didn't even get to use it. I had to modify and reuse the stock brackets and…

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Nothing

AVOID PATHFINDER AND DOUBLE DIN INSTALLATION

This kit should cover single and double din installation options for aftermarket stereos. The kit is great with multiple mounting options for a single DIN and even has a nice gasket/pocket under the main unit, but for a double DIN it sucks. There is 1 trim ring that did not fit my Pioneer double din head unit or console (there was plenty of wiggle room at the top, a tight fit at the bottom and side to side interference) and NO double din mounting brackets are included. . I tried using it in…

Pros
  • High support and durability ratings from testers
Cons
  • Failing
