Single DIN... anyone?

Is anyone using a single DIN head unit? If so, what type of dash kit and pocket did you use?

You use the metra dash kit and I think scho... has one as well. Both are good and I have done a few installs with single dins.

Thanks!

I'm really leaning towards the iDA-X305s!

I'm leaning towards a single din audio solution, as the Touchscreen interfaces on the major vendors don't seem quite polished yet, not as snappy as classic receivers and I actually prefer my eyes on the road

.

bigaudiofanat:

Is there any dash kit that includes ports for USB/AUX on the space under the radio or will I have to employ my dremmel hopping I don't make a mess.

Any opinions on the Kenwood Excelon KDC-X994?

^^ Not really sure, I'm getting the Alpine installed in about 2 weeks. Front using it before it's really nice. I've always been a fan of Alpine stuff though so I'm partial.

that's cool, make sure it's got remote input so that you can control from your steering wheel too using pheripheral or pac or watever your choice.
