[QUOTE="Merciless, post: 7638298, member: 626609"] Everything has arrived, but I have come up against one small problem. My headunit is a Kenwood KDC-X492. It is a single DIN. It is exactly 7 in. by 2 in. [URL="http://www.kenwoodusa.com/KDC-X492"]http://www.kenwoodusa.com/KDC-X492[/URL] My install kit is the Metra 99-4000. The opening on it is 7.25 in. by 2.25 in. [URL="http://www.metraonline.com/part/99-4000"]http://www.metraonline.com/part/99-4000[/URL] As such, my radio doesn't really fit in it. I believe I am missing the faceplate. Something like the 3 in this kit- [URL="http://www.metraonline.com/part/99-4012"]http://www.metraonline.com/part/99-4012[/URL] 1) Is this what I am missing? 2) If so, can I buy just the faceplate? 3) Do I need an extended faceplate (.5 in., 1 in.)? With the faceplate, would my install end up looking like this- [URL="http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss245/mike_silva/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20110214_171550.jpg"]http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss245/mike_silva/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20110214_171550.jpg[/URL] Thanks!! EDIT--- Upon further research, I think I need a trim ring. Something like this- [URL="http://www.discount12volt.com/servlet/the-68/Kenwood-B07-dsh-3245-dsh-01-Car-Stereo/Detail"]http://www.discount12volt.com/servlet/the-68/Kenwood-B07-dsh-3245-dsh-01-Car-Stereo/Detail[/URL] I would like to clarify I bought the HU used. I have the HU, remote, and thats it. [/QUOTE]
