Yes, the 99-5835G is compatible with both single-DIN and double-DIN aftermarket radios. The included trim ring may need to be swapped depending on the radio size.

Is cutting or drilling required for installation?

No, this is a direct-fit kit that installs without any cutting or drilling. It uses the factory mounting points and includes all necessary hardware.

What color and texture is the kit?

The kit is black with a textured finish that matches the original factory dashboard appearance. This ensures a factory-like look after installation.

Does the kit include wiring harness or antenna adapter?
