"help" doesn't make for a good and specific title, and we have a forum for electronics

Moved.

There is no commercially available mounting kit. You will have to fab your own mounts and trim bezel.

isn't that bad. use a 1/2 din pocket underneath, or fab something of your own.

power, accessory, illumination can all be found behind the radio (ground the unit to the metal brackets that hold it) then run the wires to the back of the car where the amplifier is and you're good to go.

Metra will be coming out with a double DIN stereo kit for the 92-00 SC300/400 in a few weeks. The part number will be 95-8157B for the double DIN kit and for the single DIN kit... 99-8157B. Possibly by mid December.

Default I will sell you mine

I am a MECP advanced installer. I just made one to fit my car but I could sell it to you and make another one. let me know if you are interested. I would take $50 for it. Not bad considering materials and about 4 hours of work. By the way my unit fits flush like factory.

That does look nice, can you post another shot of it from more of a head-on angle?
