yeah i installed the ddx 7015 form kenwood and i am wondering about the face plate issue has anyone done thins themselves i have the kit and the trim piece that came with it. wondering what i should do

 

so the Kenwood face plate wont fit? any other problems you encounter beside the face plate during the install?

 

Just intalled mine last weekend. Go to any car audio shop and get the metra dash kit, it should be around $17. All you need is the trim piece, but you'll notice it has a plastic divider going down the middle for single din units. Just take a dremel or something and trim that divider out, now slip it over the head unit and install the whole piece back into the dash. It is a perfect fit.

 

yeah i have already done that now i am trying to find a way to make it sit flush with the rest of the dash but if i set it back in farther it will have a lip on the top and bottom of the hu because of the dashes shape i guuess the only way is to make a custom dash and its to much work for me so i guess ill leave it alone. i have also made my own security device i took the plastice face off the old radio and it will fit right over the whole screen making an illusion if someone walks by and notcies that i have a stock radio in it lol

 

Now I dont have the ddx 7015 , but a similar question. I installed a single din HU and single din DVD player below it. I really didnt use any mounting brackets that came with them. Simply used the existing stock bracket with 4 screws on each side and lined them up with both units, but is it going to all fit ok when I put everything back together? Im afraid that everything else wont fit over it, and I really hate to re do it. I do have the metra double din face plate, and figured i'd stick that on after it's all done..

 

You need the Metra 350Z Installation Kit ..... #99-7402.

 

Do you any pictures of the "security" device? I am interested in doing the same thing.

no i dont my digital camera broke. all it is, is the front plastic piece on your stock radio. it has clips on it asll the way around and it comes right off and the little tabs with go between the trim plate and the radio.

 

I just checked out the DDX-7015 yesterday at the local stereo shop. Please post some pics of what this looks like.
Does it limit your access to the A/C *****?

 

it is all in dash in the stock radio hole nothing to worrry about
