I'm sure this a common problem, but I have yet to find an answer to it.

I just installed a new double din dvd player in my 05.

It loooks great except there are massive gaps around the head unit, the scion "door" won't cover the head unit. I can't find panels to fill these gaps anywhere online.

does anyone have ideas? I suppose I can put back in the scion cover, but it won't be able to close and I will still have gaps on the side... Every picture I have seen people have the gaps still. Do you just deal with those ugly gaps?

Thanks.

 

how big is the gap, any pics? me i just deal with the gaps, and its only small on the side, there's black velcro and you wouldnt know its there. how big is your unit, mine closes but its tricky to open.

 

i think this has been covered many times before. . .
please use search..

you can always make a cover for your deck since your door wont close, or you can use abs to fill the gaps.

 

If you need a double din kit, I sell them. The kits I have are very easy to install, and have a very clean look.

Send me a PM or e-mail me at whiteblazer01@***.net. I have lots in stock. :D

 

how much for the kit whiteblazer?

 

its like 20 bucks at circuit city.

 

i bought this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/METRA...spagenameZWD1V

 

$15 + shipping if necessary

 

I have that kit, it doesn't work because it sits about 1/2 an inch back in the dash, it's not flush against the front, and it doesn't address the origanl post. The massive gap at the top. I put the scion cover back in, but as posted earlier it doesn't close. I'll fabricate something for it.

 

You must have a different kit. The one's I have sit flush and are contoured to the opening, so it is a clean look. I'll see if I can get some clear day pics for you.

 

Here are some pics of my kits that I sell. Like I said, they are very easy to install, and are flush mounted.

Don't mind the quality of the pictures. I had to modify the brightness and contrast to show the detail on the kits. (you can click on the image to see the original picture in a full size image).





Contact me to buy these double din kits.

 

I was about to post the same as WhiteBlazer. I have a Z1 as well, and the METRA 95-8202 kit. Very easy to install, and looks factory.

As for the door, I found that if you press on the lower right-hand corner, it shuts just fine. Don't press the center when closing it. This is for a AVIC-Z1, so you may have to press the lower left-hand corner.

 

I think it has to do with JVC Head unit. It sticks out about an 1/8th of an inch more than the other units.. I have the metra kit, but maybe I have to bolted on wrong, regardless, I have put the cover back in and it closes, but not all the way. Next time it warms up here in Chicago I'll take a closer look at everything. ;).

 

Could you take a pic of the install? Take a pic of how you bolted the brackets on, and what it looks like installed.

 

See the 3 pictures I posted 3 posts up.

 

I think he was talking to me. I figured it all out... Lock this plz

 

id like one of your kits whiteblazer, but i can't find it on your site.

 

My e-commerce site is still in the works. I'm hoping to have it up and running by the end of the month.

If you want to buy it, just send me a PM/e-mail (WhiteBlazer010@***.net).
