cltgt Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 If anyone has installed a double din unit in a 04-08 F150, which dash kit did you use? I do not like the Metra Turbo Kit for this model vehicle. Guess I will have to keep playing around with it to see If i can get it to look right. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1loudls Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 what dont you like about the metra kit? i've never had a problem with the 99-5815 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Txrzrbk Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 I put one in an 04 F250, I think you have the same dash. The factory radio was not quite double din so required a little triming of the dash opening and a metra 99-5805. Like you I wasn't thrilled with the Metra kit, you might try the pioneer kit ADTVA133, they are about $40 on Amazon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yellowfive9rt Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Not to fond of the Metra double din kits.. I have gone through two of them and they keep breaking around the notch areas on the sides.... I now have the Scosche double din in my F-150... I like the design better. Got it at Walmart. Can't beat the price... http://www.walmart.com/ip/Scosche-2004-Up-Ford-Double-ISO-DIN-Kit/10752515 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
