After everything was reassembled, it looks as if it came from the factory. Although I'm not sure about other double din radios, the Pioneer has a feature that allows you to tilt the screen up for a better view because it sits lower than the stock radio. Overall, if you're looking for an aftermarket radio, it's well worth the money.
My 2005 Accord's cheapo radio broke, so I decided to replace it. It's safe to say that the original head unit's designers failed miserably in their attempt to turn it into a proprietary system; I only needed three cables from the kit to connect a new Kenwood touchscreen system, which is really the only part of the sound system worth spending more than $200 on. Even though the shift stick is in the way, it still looks like it came with the car (matching plastic) and secures the unit, and, as I previously stated, it is reasonably priced when compared to kits that require the installer to remove the entire A/C interface.
I got an aftermarket stereo to replace my OEM one. Honda combined the stereo and climate controls into a single large screen. This kit makes it simple to avoid buying a large, expensive adaptor kit if you only need to run a single-channel application. In the storage pocket beneath the radio/climate area, you can store din or double din. After installation, it appears to be original and fits comfortably and securely. I would strongly advise anyone looking to upgrade their stereo to do so.
I screwed new holes because the old ones didn't match the radio I was installing. It was a little difficult to get it into the vehicle's brackets, but once in, it won't come out. The supports snapped off when I tried to uninstall to fix some wiring. Fortunately, the unit does a good job of staying in place. Because the scosche unit I ordered was out of stock, I went with this metra kit as an alternative. If I had to order again, I would only do so if it was absolutely necessary.
It's also incredibly simple to set up! This kit came with a harness that isn't shown in the photos, which I really like. It's a lot easier to wire up a stereo with this! You can't beat the price on this kit.
Keep in mind that this replaces the storage cubby below the section with the radio and climate controls, not the section with the radio and climate controls. If you want to upgrade, this is your only choice. The only thing I don't like about it is that you have to look down a little more, but that has nothing to do with the part and everything to do with Honda's design. You're good to go if you have a head unit with a remote.
A Pioneer radio with CarPlay was installed in a 2005 Honda Accord. It was much less expensive to install it in the existing dash pocket than to replace the OEM radio ($1200 vs. $1500). The total cost is $325. This kit was exactly what I needed and was simple to put together. A separate steering wheel control module and a backup camera are used. FABULOUS!.
There aren't any wiggles to be found. The factory integration/bypass harness is fantastic. This holds my Kenwood Double-Dual-Dual-Dual-Dual-Dual Perfect for a DIN radio. It also included everything you'll need to get around the factory's non-return policy. Keep the A/C controls and use the original display for everything else. Because my factory antenna did not reach the new radio (this may vary depending on the aftermarket radio you choose), you might want to consider getting an antenna extension cable.
