Let's see everyone's aftermarket headunit

I'd just like to see what everyone has done for an aftermarket headunit. Single DIN? Double DIN? GPS double DIN?

Mine's a single.....no pictures yet....cause it isn't in yet lol.

I have an 9887 I installed on wednesday (picked up my fit tuesday night) you're not going to like the kit that much since it recesses the head unit a bit. It makes it difficult to open the face plate up to remove or change CD's. I'll be taking it back apart tomorrow to see wha I can do to alleviate the issue and I'll let you know.

I already did a trial run and put everything together and it worked fine for me. I did find that using the little plastic ring that came with the kit, the one that goes around the radio, causes and opening and closing problem, but I just used the one that came with the radio and it was fine.

A friend of mine has a Metra kit in his Fit and I'm not real crazy about how it fits. Maybe he put it in wrong.

I like the clean look of the trim that comes with the kit. I used the ISO mounts instead of the radios cage and turned the ISO mount upside down and it gave me enough clearance to get this sorted. just an FYI

Man I've been thinking about that unit forever. Its the cheapest GPS Dbl Din deck out there. I think it'll look better with the metra kit. What kit are you using? Make sure you get those pictures up! I'm definately waiting for that.

Got the deck today, looks good. Played with the navi for awhile, seems like a quality piece. Waiting for my scosche kit to get here hopefully tomorrow. I did however get in Antenna for gps installed and go the old deck out. I'll post pics and a review when I'm done.

I have an older model Alpine with the metra kit. It is ok but I am not 100% satisfied with the trim ring it doesn't fit as perfect as I'd like for a $70 dash kit. Otherwise it's fine. I iso'd mine and used the metra trim ring fwiw.

Well, I was specifically looking for pics of the AVN-2210p setup as I had purchased one for my Accord before swapping it for a Fit and wanted to see what it looked like.

I have a 2DIN unit; Pioneer AVIC-HD3BT (also known as AVIC-Z2 in the US).
More about it in this tread.

But here is a picture:


I just love this system.
Thinking of swapping the front speakers with new and better one, but the stock speakers does not sound that bad at all.
I dont have speakers in the back so the stock speakers is going in there when I get new in front. I dont want a subwoofer. It takes too much space.
