I just bought a dnx7100 and read somewhere that I should get a Metra dash kit.

Is this the right one? And why is it recommended to get a Metra kit again?

It doesnt look like its made for a double din unit...

Also I need an 03 cubby because I was going to put a second screen in there. Anybody mind linking me to where I can buy one at?
Thanks.

 

well metra kit is just a dash kit and you need a dash kit for aftermarket headunits.

 

Is that the right one? It doesnt look like its make for a double din unit.







Do I have to break the bar in the middle?

 

Thats the right one you have to cut out the middle bar. The 03 cubby can be found here http://mynismo.com/products/?id=4445

 

Oh and by the way you can get that dash kit at Circuit City for the same price as the one on ebay (with shipping included) and not have to wait for it to be shipped.

 

Thank you very much ITSherZ! You were extremely helpful.

 

I got my unit in and I think I am missing something.

The installation manual shows that it should come with a sleeve for the unit to slide into but mine didnt come with it. Accessory #5. I bought my brand new in the box so I dont see why this would be missing.




Can anyone confirm if this piece is included?

Is it needed?

 

i think i had it in mine but im not sure. i had mine installed awhile ago so i dont really remember much. but i think with the factory bracket you wouldnt need that piece anyways. i could be wrong but i hope not.

 

From what I have seen and experienced with the double din installs with the Z,,you will not use the metal mounting sleeve. You will use the factory brackets and the Metra or similar dash kit. At least,,,with my W-200, I did not use the metal sleeve.

 

Yo don't need the metal mounting sleeve that is supplied with the headunit.

Use the Metra plastic spacers on both sides and then the front trim piece. It's all you need from the Metra kit.
