(The bottom portion was dislodged in this picture, I slipped it back in easily and it's now smooth)

Thumbs down

+2 .. looks like the Metra Kit (aftermerket). If you have OEM JDM Double Din kit, your kit should match your vent and digital HVAC unit, unless you have Sport Design like me.

Eclipse AVN 6620 w/ Eclipse BEC 106 Backup Cam + Carson Double Din Kit (only in-dash kit to get, looks 100% OEM) [Sorry pics are SUPER crappy]









Just for a comparison here is my old setup: w/ the TM Engineering in dash kit, as you can tell it not as flush or OEM looking:

why would you want to use the factory cd changer? ipod/ USB flash drive /MP3 discs would make using a cd changer pointless. hell i have a modded xbox with 320 hd. dont really need a cd changer anymore. i guess im weird but i have no bought nor used a cd in my car for 3 years.
