Default Dash kit
Guys,

I need a kit for an Alpine 9833. What is a good kit? Metra? Anything else?

I am going to buy the wiring harness and like to know if I need to get an antennae adapter?


Any hints as to the installation or it would just be like any stereo? Do I still need to run a direct power wire eventhough I am not using the Hu's power?


Thanks,
Tony

I went with the Metra kit and it looks great. The install is just like any other cd player. I just ran mine without doing direct power straight to the battery and it works fine. You dont need an antenna adapter.

Here is a pic of mine with the metra kit.

Did you buy the wiring harness?

I noticed a gap in the middle, on the top and on the sides. Is there anything that looks better?

The gap is normal with the metra kit and in person doesnt look bad. Im not too sure of any other kits that are really sold except for some custom ones.

I have an Alpine 9835 and am using the $10 dash kit available at buy.com. IMO it looks better than the Metra kit (no gaps, etc.).
