traderbob Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Hi to all this is my first post. I have been lurking and reading a lot of posts and made that big buy, I just purchased a new x920 ,new boyo licens plate camera, used JBL GTQ200 AMP, used PAIR OF 6x9 JBL T903 3 way speakers and a pair of 6 inch infinity kappa coaxial speakers. My 97 dodge truck has a one and half din space so i need to do some cutting.I am planing to use the space above the radio has a drink holder and overdrive switch and driving lights switch. The drink holder is a poor design, that is going to the curb and I will move the swiches. Planing on filling space with fiberglass panel and cutting it to double din size. The next step ? This is were I need help, do i need a cage for 920 to slide into or does radio come with one, some sort of plug and play harness that will fit my dodge. I was planing on running rc cable to the amp and buying sum sort of amp speaker cable to run back to factory wiring harness. I need to know if I am on the right track and any help with a shoping list. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

barney stinson Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 it wont come with a cage. I have only seen cages on single din radios. then again, the only double din units that I have had were from pioneer so I don't know if other manufacturers include them. mine is installed with a plastic piece on each side of the radio which then connects to the metra dash kit.

traderbob Posted July 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 I called pioneer and they recommended a installation kit part no. ADT-VA133 the kit includes cage , mounting brackets and a trim ring. I think this kit will make installation a lot easier. I hope the X920BT will fit in this cage as the X920BT is not listed to fit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1loudls Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 i just put a AVH mobile video system(same double din size as an avic) in a friends jeep cherokee (uses same 1.5 din factory radio) i used the double din mounting kit that you have to order, we just cut the hell out of the hole, until the cage would fit nice and tight. and then used glass to fill the sides where the factory radio was wider. fit pretty good after a lot of sanding, body filler, more sanding, and a few coats of black from a rattle can(also had to cut the hell out of the subdash to make room for everything) and yes, all of pioneers double din radios will fit, because they are all the exact same size.
