Frequently Asked Questions - 91-3520P Metra

What is the Metra 91-3520P installation kit used for?

It is used to install an aftermarket car radio into a Pontiac vehicle that originally had a factory radio. The kit adapts the dash opening to fit DIN or shaft-style receivers.

What vehicles are compatible with the 91-3520P?

This kit is designed for Pontiac models. It specifically fits certain years and trims; refer to the manual or contact Crutchfield for exact compatibility.

What parts are included in the kit?

The kit includes a kit frame, support tray, two mounting brackets, four 1/4 inch hex screws, two studs, and two 3/8 inch nuts.

How do I install the kit?

First disconnect the battery. Remove the factory radio trim panel and screws. Assemble the kit frame with brackets and support tray. For DIN receivers, snap the trim plate onto the frame, cut out shaft supports if needed, slide the sleeve in, and secure the receiver.

Can I install a single-DIN or double-DIN radio?

The kit supports a single-DIN receiver. For a double-DIN, you would need a different kit. The opening is designed for standard DIN size.

What tools are needed for installation?

You'll need a 9/32 inch socket or wrench, a utility knife to cut trim plate if necessary, a screwdriver, and possibly a panel removal tool.

Is the kit difficult to install?

It is moderately easy for someone with basic car audio installation experience. The manual provides step-by-step instructions. If unsure, professional installation is recommended.

Does the kit include wiring harness or antenna adapter?

No, this is a mounting kit only. You'll need separate wiring harness and antenna adapter for your vehicle.

How do I ensure a secure fit?

Use the supplied hex screws, studs, and nuts to tighten the frame and brackets. Also ensure the receiver is properly secured within the sleeve and trim plate.
