I want to put a D3 into my wife's 05 Tribute. It has the dreaded Ford/Mazda "multi hole" release mount. The local big box store tells me that there is no double din mount available for the truck but the Metra 99-7505 seems to fit according to Crutchfield and Metra.

Does anyone know if this will fit? Has anyone done an install? Is the install straight forward? I put a D3 in my global warming 06 Explorer Limited with no problems and the dash disassembly is much harder.

Well, I answered my own question. Yes you can. Metra sells a Mazda Tribute kit that snaps into place. The whole installation took about 20 minutes from start to finish (not counting the soldering of the AVIC harness to the 3rd party Mazda end). Worked right the first time, including bypass. Looks good too.
