This stereo installation kit has been engineered to help you install a 2" tall (single-DIN) aftermarket radio into the original vehicle dashboard. This dash kit makes radio replacement easier and comes with a built-in pocket that can be located above or below the 2" radio to fill the extra space in the radio opening, which can be used for storage. The dash kit is designed to match the original look and feel of the vehicle's dashboard. Modifications to the factory dash cavity may be required for this installation depending on the chosen radio installation location, and instructions are included. Installing an aftermarket radio can enhance sound quality and offer additional features that the original factory radio does not provide; however, this dash kit is necessary for proper installation.
