Assuming its an auto. Enough to still grab the shifter and still have another 2 fingers between.

I see what your saying, buy the photos it looks like its almost touching.

Haha! Spy would have a picture of his own car within his own car! Always did like looking at her though

How simple/difficult is installation on these units. I searched with no luck, is there an install thread?

thanks

It would not be a DIY job unless your good at what your doing. The instructions were not the best.

HALFFAST · 04-16-2010, 10:23 AM

10-4, I was hoping you'd say plug & play but knew that was high hopes. No DIY for me. Thanks man

I thought the only hard part was the cutting needed behind the radio

sparaz · 04-16-2010, 08:22 PM

Nah, from what everyone says, you got to know what you're doing with audio systems and electronics to make it work with all your equipment... and it takes time+effort as well.

OSearcy4 · 04-17-2010, 09:10 PM

curious?
I heard from an audio dealer here who called metra about the kit that everything was plug and play. He said you unplug all the factory plugs and they plug into the kit. He said all you need was the proper harness for your cd player or double din whatever and you hook that up just like any other car...

All you need for this kit to work is an FM adapter. It is plug and play but as stated there is a "small" amount of cutting on the inside of the dash. Also, the pre-programing of the steering controls takes time and patience. So, that is why I stated what I did.
