What type of radio does this kit support?

This kit supports ISO DIN mount radios, which is the standard size for most aftermarket head units. You may need an additional dash kit for double-DIN radios depending on your aftermarket radio's dimensions.

Does the kit include a wiring harness?

No, the kit does not include a wiring harness. It provides an EIA color code chart for wiring connections, and Metra recommends using a proper mating adapter for your vehicle (sold separately).

How difficult is the installation?

Installation is rated moderate and requires basic mechanical skills. You will need to disassemble parts of the dashboard, including removing the shift knob, trim panels, and factory radio/climate assembly. The manual provides step-by-step instructions.

What tools are required for installation?

You need: a small flat blade screwdriver or panel removal tool, a Phillips screwdriver, and a hook tool to remove spring clips. Optional: wire strippers, soldering iron, and electrical tape for wiring.

Will I retain my factory climate controls?

Yes, the kit includes a climate control cable that connects the climate controls in the new radio housing to the factory harness, allowing you to retain all climate functions.

Does the kit require painting?

No, the kit comes painted and finished to match the factory dash color and texture. No additional painting is needed.

Can I install a double-DIN radio with this kit?

This kit is designed for ISO DIN (single-DIN) radios. For double-DIN radios, you may need a different Metra kit or an adapter. Check your radio's dimensions before purchasing.

What is the warranty on this product?

Metra offers a 1-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. For warranty claims, contact Metra customer support with proof of purchase.

How do I avoid electrical shorts during installation?
