gambri Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 just some quick info, i have a 2005 mercedes clk and bought the metra kit for my car. When i went to fit the avic z2 i noticed that there is a gap between the kit and the avic. My question is, how do i close this gap? the frame that came with the avic is too big for this dash kit. Do i need to have a shop custom install something? I saw on this thread ( http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7801 ) that this memeber has the same kit but has some kind of frame between the avic and the dash kit. I think thats what i need. Thanks in advance.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gambri Posted July 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 no, thats all that came in the box, just that and a storage pocket to make it a single din Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bridge4d Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 I don't know about that specific kit, but those metra kits usually also have a trim piece that snaps into that gap. Try to verify through metra's website or by calling them that you got everything in your kit you were suppose to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaisanNYC Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 where did you buy the kit from? They definitely shorted you the trim ring. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gambri Posted July 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 i bought it from installer.com i thought they were a reputable company. I have bought from them before with no problems. Anyone else have any issues with them?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bridge4d Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Sometimes parts get left out of the package, it happens. You might have gotten a returned kit and someone just didn't verify the contents. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gambri Posted July 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 i emailed them and they said that that is all the kit comes with. He said to have a local shop fabricate one. I am waiting on the pioneer double din install kit which has the brackets and a trim piece and im hoping that will close the gap Quote Link to post Share on other sites

titos Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 CHECK to make sure the guy had a metra kit cuz all the metra kits ive used suck look at the american international kits they seem to work better for me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gambri Posted July 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 well, i emailed them and they said that the trim ring does not come with my kit. Some metra kits do and some dont. I verified it in the metra website's pdf file. You guys think a local shop can fabricate one? is that one piece gonna be expensive??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
titos Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 welll if a shop fabricates one it could be expensive 60 to 80 bucks but im telling you if you look for an american international kit all you have to do is buy a new kit and done Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gambri Posted July 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 i looked and for my car american international doesnt make one, neither does scosche or best kits, metra is the only one that make it. I have a 2005 MB clk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
