Has anybody tried installing a double din head unit into their 03-06 accord in the lower space with the honda oem kit? I was thinking about doing this but I am not sure if the opening will fit. I would love to see pictures if anyone has them. I have seen the threads with people cutting and bondo-ing but this would be nice if it fit right in. Thanks

Heres a pic of the honda oem kit, - imagine it without the pocket and cassette player

 

i am not positive but i belive it would, but why not just remove the origional radio and replace it

 

Assuming you are talking about the oem hu, I dont want to use that goofy kit that you have to buy, plus its single din. And I dont want to get the lower kit that metra and scosche offer because its only single din. I want to do a lcd screen but ive seen that the flip out type interfere with the volume knob so the tilt of the screen isnt right. Thats why I want a 2 din unit.

 

something like this

 

how come you didn't just buy it with navi stock?

 

nav isnt worth $6,000 to me.

 

fair enough

 

It should fit. just pull the lower pocket and make sure it is the same depth as the radio. if it is your in.

 

Yep, it looks like an opening to fit a double din. But I have no idea how it goes depthwise.

 

IT goes pretty deep and the oem player panel (face-plate for the lower opening) has a double DIN opening. I wish metra or some other company will make a hot double DIN HU, but nooooo, they didn't. For now, i plan on putting the doule DIN pioneer AVIC-z1 in this opening.
