Question Who has an aftermarket double din audio/nav unit?

For those of you that do...........

How do you have it mounted in your dash?


I have a double din unit, and I am tired of the cheap plastic dash mounting kits. It doesn’t hold solid and I don’t feel like it’s securely attached to the dash.



Is there any solution that uses metal mounting brackets? I’ve tried Metra and Scosche, both use the same cheap plastic.


Thanks in advance!

I had the scosche double din kit in my CL. The only mod I made to the kit was gluing the front fascia trim to the side iso brackets and it was rock solid.

It’s not really "Flopping" around in the dash. My concern is more related to the security of the unit.

I feel like one good tug from a thief on the front of the unit and all of the plastics will let loose.


Perhaps it’s time to make a custom bracket!
