Deck Install Q's

[believedat]

Just wondering if I need a dash kit for a 99 Civic Si. I have the cd player stock with an open bin below the CD Player. Can I just throw the new deck in the same location as the stock deck?

Some say I need the trim kit, others say no. Does anyone have pics of there stereo install?

Thanks again.

i didnt need one for my 95, but its a different generation. you can make it work without one most of the time, but the dash kit usually cleans it up a bit. try installing it w/o one, if it doesnt work to your liking, get a kit, they are only like 10-15 bucks.

if you're deck has a trim ring than it look fine. chances are you wont be using the basket that comes with the deck though, i think those have their own mounting hardware to use so you will actually be using screws to hold the deck in place.

I'm gonna try and do the install this week with no trim kit.

Thanks

btw, the dash kits that i've seen look pretty crappy IMO

Deck install

I got the deck installed. I can't believe how difficult they made it to access the deck. I guess Im too used to the Tercel. I could just pop the trim off and pull out the deck...

Thanks for the help guys.

wait... the 99 has the huge opening, right?
not like the 96-98s... but since I cant picture it in my head, I am unsure..

Yeah, they make it a tad tricky, ripping the lower dash apart, cramming screws way up where you can't really see 'em...

Latino - what do you mean - lower parts?

sorry i meant to say lower part...by the cutholders..

Thats cake... you have a pocket in there, now, correct?
just remove the pocket, file the opening a little bigger if you want it to slide in from the front, or a little trimming and it will bolt into the factory brackets - provided it is a respectable brand... then extend the harness a little for the radio plug, and viola!
¡Fácil como pastel!
