Noob question here, does the honda/acura dash kit allow for the pocket (that is normally below the stock radio) to be installed with a new head unit? Or does that space just get sealed off? Also, do you always need a dash kit or can you sometimes get away without one depending on the HU?

i made it work with my factory pocket before i started working at bestbuy and getting stuff dirt cheap, but it wasn't easy. walmart doesn't always have alot of stuff for imports. you can probably order the metra kit online for under $10, and yes it will have a pocket.Comment

there is 2 versions of the kit i dont remember the other kit # but one has the pocket on the bottom which is 99-9872 and the other i dont remember but it has a block off plate that can be removed and an eq can be intalled in its place

So, will any of those kits fit my head unit?Comment

the kits that we mentioned fit the standard sized DIN hole, if you have a double din which is 2x the height of a standard stereo then its another kit but yes these kits work fine.What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice.
