kinda looking around, and not sure which double din kit to use for when i get my double din headunit..

any ideas or experience? thanks

 

Most people get the Metra kit. Look it up.

 

thats what i thought. are most of the metra kits the same for most fords across the board?

i found this one, just not sure if it will work or not?
METRA 95-5026 01-06 FORD/LINCOLN/MERCURY DOUBLE DIN KIT - eBay (item 390212532382 end time Jul-22-10 0933 PDT)

 

cuz if that one works i'm buying it now so its here in time for when my double din headunit gets here

 

guess i'll buy this one and hope for the best. lol

 

buy the scoshe one from walmart

 

why is it better?

 

SCOSCHE FD1426B DOUBLE DIN KIT FOR FORD - eBay (item 280525497909 end time Jul-23-10 2238 PDT)
will that one work?

 

Nah it looks different than that, if you search on here you'll find threads with the info on it. I used the Metra and I didn't really like it much at all, most people use the Scosche ones on here and they are much better looking than the Metra

 

damn. im searching and nobody has posted specifically which model number they used

 

Walmart.com: Scosche 1995-Up Ford Double DIN Kit: Auto Electronics

You cut the center bar thing out

 

cool. i'm gonna order it up on ebay because i haz money on my paypal that hasn't been used yet lol.

 

I used the Scosche kit and the only thing I don't like about it is the trim ring. It doesn't fit right and it bows out in the middle because of that.

 

Scosche kit fits excellent on my 07...

 

You had a double din on the 07?

I used the Scosche on my Ranger and Metra on the 150, they both worked fine.

What Pioneer unit you going with? Check out the Kenwood's too, after having the Pioneer for 2 years I didn't like it near as much as the Kenwood. Also iPhones work a heck of a lot better with the Kenwood's.

 

seriously.

bought the metra kit...god that thing was crap. my poor alpine used to get thrown from the dash all the time...

bought the one from walmart...hasnt popped out one bit since.

 

i'll check it out

and i dont use my iphone at all for music lol. i have an older ipod video 80gig that just stays plugged in inside the truck

 

Haha you'll be fine then, don't get me wrong the Pioneers are great units you'll love it.

 

What head unit did you go with?

 

also, my biggest requirement is that the key color lighting be able to be changed. want it all to match.

 

When you say "a **** ton of bass" what does that mean? LOL Specs of your system or gtfo

 

i wanted to go with a navi unit. even though i have a tom tom already i wanted them all integrated into one, but figured it'd be wiser if i just saved my money. so i think im going to go with this headunit.

I would spend a little more. Once you add on the navi to the P3200 its about the same price anyway. The interface on the X series are soooooo much nicer.
