The two head unit you recommend are hard to find. Do you have any idea how the Pioneer DMH-W4660NEX 6.8" may work with your trim kit?

[@417fox]

@@mustang43058 the bezel is designed to fit any double din cassis radio. Depth is the key if you don’t want to cut the brace. If you can stay under 4” in depth that will require the least amount of modifications to your dash.

Hi! I absolutely love the bezel you designed. Do you know of anyone selling custom bezels for a 2000 mustang? I'd like to put in a double DIN radio and do HVAC relocation to the bottom. '00 mustangs were unfortunately the last year that they went with single DIN. I could put in a '01-'04 mustang bezel easily enough to solve the single DIN problem, but it doesn't have the HVAC relocation like yours. Thanks so much.

[@417fox]

You can actually keep the Airbag Buzzer Box and do a double din. If you choose a shallow depth head unit like the Alpine iLX650 you do not have to cut the dash support that the box rests on. Also. You can always relocate the box as well.

I spliced the wires. In some cases you don’t have to extend anything. I actually intentionally didn’t film that portion due to the fact that if I have to show you how to properly splice wires then this is probably not an install for you.

Did you lose any speakers by going to an aftermarket radio? I’ve been on edge about swapping my 93 lx headunit but I’m hearing you’ll lose two speakers unless you bypass the factory amp. Seems there’s no good videos showing how to properly install an aftermarket headunit and keep all the speakers.

I wired each one of my speakers direct. Best way to do it anyway. Was installing a sub and amp too so might as well. I think with the proper harness adapters you can still use your factory amp and not bypass.
