AI mounting kit...im stuck!
really hoping someone can help me out...i removed the stock radio panel and removed the radio...i am trying to attach the AI mounting kit to the new radio (avh-p4200dvd)...
how do i attach the front faceplate of the AI kit to the side brackets of the AI kit (the side brackets will screw into the aftermarket HU...but i dont know how to attach the side brackets of the kit, which will be attached to the new HU, to the faceplate of the kit)...
the instructions just say to attach the side brackets to the faceplate...but there are no screw holes or anything...please help...really want to get everything done by end of weekend...

but there is nothing on the faceplate for the side brackets to latch into...this kit doesnt seem to make sense...the faceplate will be screwed into the 350z front dash where the stock radio is but the side brackets (which will screw into the new radio) has nothing to screw or latch into...how is it going to stay in place...

My Metra kit used the stock brackets mounted to the side of my aftermarket radio, with a plastic spacer of sorts on each side.

I'm not familiar with your kit, but if the front plate from the kit mounts to the backside of the center dash in the same place as the stock brackets, maybe you could just mount the stock plates to the side of the radio and "sandwich" the front plate between the stock brackets and the back of the center dash part.
