Hopefully you can see from this picture that the buttons for the radio are all integrated into the dash area.

Yep, thats the same POS i had, so no problem, just get the parts mentioned and ur good.

I figured they would be the same, but I wonder why Metra doesn't say the 09 one will fit the 11'. I almost ordered the Schoche just because they were the only ones I found that specifically said it would fit, everything I read though says the Metra is the better kit.

They may just not have updated the site...

A bit car-electronics naive here...

Do I need this dash-kit to install an aftermarket double-din head unit?

I have the '10 base model - my current factory unit looks like this:

I ask this because it seems like the factory unit is already a double-din. Can I just swap out the unit without the need of any other dash kit?

Edit: Question answered for me here (depends on the unit I guess, but in this case, I don't need this dash kit):

+1 I just bought a Kenwood Double Din, and was told by PC Richards I needed a Mount. However my research has told me otherwise. Can anyone confirm this before I start the install this weekend?

you can get away with the OEM trim as i mentioned, but it leaves a gap around most DD units.

You DO NOT need the dash kit if you have base model because it's a Double DIN opening (i'm assuming you're installing Double DIN Headunit). There's very small gap around it. It never bothered me enough to spend $50 on it.

There was a black plastic end plate by my HU. So even if you try to put something through the gap, it won't go though. There's a plastic surround (with kenwood)

:iagree:

Do you guys kown, with the double DIN can we still keep the 6 CD changer?

Im about to pull the trigger and order this... but I rather order the factory dash kit which is like 200 bucks over this if it looks like sh*t

Read what this guy wrote on the reviews of it:

Nissan 370Z In-dash Receiver Kit Fits 2009-up models — chassis sizes E & DD at Crutchfield.com

Hey guys,

First post to the forums but been reading around a bunch.

Know this thread is a little outdate but im installing my double din pioneer tomorrow morning. I got the metra dash kit just in case i was having trouble with the factory face plate but im sure it wont be an issue and i will end up returning it for my $26 back.

I will post later how everything turns out.

As i suspected, the factory faceplate fit FLAWLESSLY!

Already returned the dash kit to crutchfield. Now i have to figure out where to spend my $26 they owe me....

Anyone have issues withe the a/c button area? I attached it to the kit from crutchfield and it doesnt screw in securely. Its as if the factory screws are too long

Will this work with the Pioneer p6300bt?

Yes it will
