nhxrunner Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Yes i would also like to know if anyone has used this. also how do you remove the face plate covers over the whole thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 This is for people with the 2.5i's with single zone climate control. -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ean611 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 That kit is for manual climate controls only. Most of us are "blessed" with the automatic climate controls, and cannot use that kit. Automatic climate controls are in almost all LGTs and all limited trim 2.5i's. I've seen pics on this board of that kit installed, and it looked decent. So if you've got manual climate controls, go for it. Otherwise, check the sticky thread at the top, and it will talk about things like JL Cleansweep/Alpine PXE-H650/Rockford 3sixty.2. Have fun!

TeamDestruction Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I used this kit on my 2.5i and it is great. Plus crutchfield gives it to you for free when you buy a radio $129 and up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMoose15 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 the one available from crutchfield is from metra, scosche also makes a faceplate which can do a double din unit or a single din. Check out my install thread for pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frkkevin Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 If you want to mount it in the glovebox thats an option.. single din or double din.. or a h/u+eq (1/2din) anything you desire posted a thread in the fs section with pics of the idea 512whp/465ftlb 2005 5EAT Legacy (Build Log) Videos - - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out my install thread for pictures. scosche???? WTF is that??? I have never heard of this kit before! Finally someone made a double din kit? the metra one to me looks like garbage. I would love to see pictures of the double din though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

06jax2.5se Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 supermoose.....that install is insane! i dont think that i would go that far right now but i totally want to put a double din in. did the new piece come painted and if so how is the color match of the replacement piece compaired to the shifter bezel? were you able to use your stock radio brackets? what is the size of the double din so that i can make sure that i get a screen the right size.

SuperMoose15 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 The new piece was color matched to the bezel almost perfectly, I can't tell a difference between the two and nor has anyone else who has looked at it. The stock radio brackets were still usable. Double din is a standard size just like single din so any double din unit will work. Let me know if I can answer anymore of your questions.

lamw001 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 It makes me want to junk my whole dual climate control/ stereo combo, grab this kit with the single climate control unit and call it a day. Is it even possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it even possible? nope......i am 99.9% sure that a manual climate control legacy cant go to auto climate control and vise versa! It would be cool though. I was very disapointed when i saw the crappy single din metra kit like a year ago but i am very happy to see that there is finally a double din for the manual climate control peps. BTW...i think that now there is a double din kit for the legacy's with auto climate control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMoose15 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 The metra faceplate isnt crappy, at least the one I got from cruthfield. It seemed decent, I just returned it after gambling on the double din being color matched. Funny thing is I called scosche and they said it was black...but its not so.

slamkad Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 I got the mounting kit and installed it. Looks great, matches perfectly and fits great. I installed the Pioneer AVH-P4000DVD and would recommend the mounting kit and radio to anyone who is looking into those products. I also went with the crutchfield wiring harness and antenna adapter.

Dude, you need to add your car to your profile, so we'll know what sort of car this worked for. Maybe you mentioned it before, but not in this post. Thanks !
