Pretty much doing a double din transplant from a stock radio. I need a double din bezel. Not too much worried about the aesthetics of it, its gonna get painted anyway. :wavey:

Just cut and fill the stock one. I did it with mine.
They dont make a true double din one other than the navi one, which is considerably larger than double din, and loses the storage space below the radio.

Here is mine, in progress and finished:
I cut the top and bottom open about 1/8" inch, used a 7" wheel grinder to get a good straight line, then did the corners with a dremel.

In primer:

In Black, before wet-sanding:

Do you have the double din radio yet? Just curious.

Currently in the possession of fedex, but it should be here shortly. Man Im excited about this post, thanks alot for the suggestion.

why is it that tons of people use family guy as a "test" for video playback on their hu's?

Blue harvest is a fave in my car (seen it god knows how many times now, both friends and family love it!)

to the op, what radio are you tossing in? just curious, i had a buddy of mine cut and fill my bezel, and paint it with leftover paint from a bumper repair.

Its a power acoustik unit I won at a concert. I'm a little skeptical about cutting myself. Anybody up to doing it for me..huh huh huh..lol I THINK I WILL GIVE IT A SHOT.

Nice job spitsnaugle! Reps for that...If you can't find it, make it! I was sure our bezels were double din already. Good to know!!

Thanks, Yeah our bezels are very close to double din, so close that a *few* double din units will fit. But anyways I just sold my entire setup (bezel, harness, head unit, metal bracket behind dash, ipod cable, and mount) to a member on the blue forum... for just 325 gotta pay bills :shakehead:

OOOuuucch! That had to hurt. Guy who got it must be thrilled. Hopefully you'll get back where you were soon.

MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR THE FALLEN SYSTEM.............................okay.

Yeah sorry I see now, what did u use to fill the ears with ? Im doing the same kinda thing I ordered a single din kit with ears and Im going to just cut the cubby hole off and use it as a double din mount. I might putty it sand it and color match the marine blue depends how energetic I get. Lol

Later option bezels had no ears for MyGig

I've got the stereo the bezel, harness, antenna adapter, & a single din kit with cubby (just to fill ear gaps) https://www.walmart.com/ip/American-International-Cdk648-Chrysler-dodge-Radio-Install-Kit/41146638
Now I'm ready for install I know I'm going to have to do some cutting to get it to look good. BUT how would you mount the stereo to the dash.. The brackets I have for it arent wide enough to reach the mounting holes on in the dash..
Is a separate 2din kit needed for the mounting hardware..?
Thank You
