HiFiSi Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Car: 2001 Honda Prelude Radio: Pioneer AVIC-F90BT Metra makes two kits that it says will work... the 95-7801 and the 99-7801 Now I don't see any real visual difference between the two, and the instructions are exactly the same for both. My question is, does it actually matter which I go with? Does one have a better fitment than the other? My gut tells me there's no difference (for my application at least) but I just need to make sure. I never used a mounting kit with my D3, just the black trim bezel that came with the radio, and that left some gaps. I've seen double DIN units installed in the same car as mine using the metra kit and it looks great, so I want to do it right this time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rpetrus Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I have a GMC Envoy. Do I need a mount kit to install the AVIC-F90BT or will it just install on it's own? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks if you have a slot for a double din its possible you can use the stock mounting brackets...i know for sure thats how it is in the 02-3 lancer. but itd still be a good idea to buy a radio waring harness for your car so you dont hafta hardwire into your factory harness. but goto www.metraonline.com and see what they have to offer for your car.
