Default Pioneer AVIC-N2 - Install Kit

Hey all, I just ordered the Pioneer AVIC-N2 (love the traffic NAV with traffic) and I am now looking for the right install kit to make a single DIN installation nice. Can anyone point me to the right kit for the TC to make a clean installation without a big hole?

After searching the boards for the last hour...it appears the metra 99-8209 is the right kit. I hope so anyway

Great price and seller. I offered him/her a price of $25 for both items and got them for that price. On their auctions they have an option to suggest your own price.

To be honest, I don't want the unit to be bypassed. My 16 year old electronic whiz was already talking about the N1 bypass. I can still feed any rear video when I do the headrests, just not the front and I'm very ok with that.

bypassing the unit means that your bypassing the unit safety feature of turning you monitor off so you can't watch while driving. there's mixed reviews about this so I'm not going to say do it or not. I was just stating that the new pioneer avic-n2 can't be bypassed!

hope this helps,
