Question for people that installed there radio..

[SiC 92 AcCoRd]

When you installed your radio in the accord..did you have to buy a harness to hold the radio in?? I'm not talking about the wiring harness i already bought that..but the bottom piece under it to hold the radio in it's place. or did u use the stock one??

thanks

BTW: sorry i know the details i stated suck..Lol i forgot the name of the part.

its called a headunit trim kit
and yes almost all aftermarket radios require you to get one...few aftermarket radios alow you to use the factory pocket

yea it fit in my old sentra...

ill tell u the truth, u can get by without a harness but it wont hold in place....and if u get one it looks cleaner...its only 10 bucks...id say get it cuase since u have 2 din sized holes for the car and ur covering one, the kit will compensate for the 2...

its actually called a car kit...go get it at circit city...make sure it has the pocket on the bottom....thats much cleaner.

getting a dash kit for it would secure the radio in better and it'll look a lot cleaner...that piece costs anywhere from 14 to 20 dollars

Or .. you could do what i did ..
and install a nice oem DOUBLE din CD, am/fm
from a 97accord ... up toooo i think, 2000 ..
of course .. it's a lil more then 10-15 bucks .. but..
i think most recent dbl din units, fit our 4rth gens.. (like a glove.)
and they're clean .. (you also have to buy the harness, $15)

i just wasnt happy with what i saw
in *after-market* dbl dins ... too many lights lol .. too flashy
and i wanted to get rid of the *tray look* underneath ..

a nice oem dbl din is also a thought, ..

a hui hou !!
