DIY Metra Kit to Alpine IVA-W200
#41
I used the trim ring that came with my radio. I figure that each manufacture will have a slightly different trim ring, with slightly different dimensions. With that being said, you want to slowly cut the outside of the trim ring to fit within the base kit. Once trimmed to the right size...epoxy into the base. Just remember not to mess with the interior of the trim ring.
The "Metra" single din kit is what I am referring to. The kit has notches for the CD holder to install tight in place. I would image that you could epoxy the two for more security, but I didn't because I didn't want glue residue.
Good Luck

I have the same kit from UNCALD4 and the same radio as in the pic. Mine is flush and it doesn't interfere with opening/closing. When looking down, the screen is flush!
I found that centering the radio leaving a slight gap on the bottom and top of the opening of the kit will make sure it doesn't catch. That's what worked for me.

Still a great write-up, just need to find another matching paint, or buy an f'n airbrush.

huge diy man, looks REAL clean! I just got the w505 and i'm hoping I can make this happen. Question about the trim ring though. You said you used a razor knife to trim the top and bottom? How did you cut it so straight? Could you go into a litle more detail on how you cut the trim ring? Thanks!
