Hi,

I was just wondering whether someone hasn't installed D1 on an Eclipse, it is double din but I tried to install it yesterday and it looks like there is a half an inch gap top and bottom when it is placed into the din.

Is there are fix for that?

I've installed D2 on my Eclipse (2000). It was a hardest part - I've used plastic frame supplied. It meant to be put on top of the dash if unit unstalled in the flat dash. In order to keep frame in place I used heat to bend plastic locks on the frame. After couple tries it stays and looks nice.

i had the same problem. i have a kia optima. what i did was buy a double din install kit made by Metra. I bought mine from ebay but you could probably find one in crutchfield if you knew the part #. do some research using google and you might find a kit for your car.

Unfortunatelly there are no double-din metra kits for Eclipse ( or maybe I just haven't found one).
There is a bracket that came with Avic that suppose to be installed outside of the dash. I simply installed it under the dash. It covers the hole and made it looks very OEM.
