DIY (GE): Parts needed for aftermarket double-DIN stereo
#161
What did you learn about the JVC dimming/illumination wiring?
hmm I supposed its possible to test it with a multimeter or test light. then you can find out for sure what does what. Reading an older post on this thread, it would seem that the illumination and dimmer pins on the metra harness should be the other way around. apparently following their layout can cause fuses to blow.. I just ordered the metra harness and antenna adapter. Hopefully these will work properly with my JVC unit. I will have my installer double check the dimming and illumination pins just to be sure the info in this thread is correct.

I ordered the 2012 gunmetal grey surround, brackets, and screws to install an aftermarket double din head unit.
Question for the guys who have been there done that. Since I have the OEM panel, brackets and screws coming, if I order from Crutchfield those items are included in the silver color if I order from the 2012 Fit page.
For the immediate thin surround around the head unit, will the head unit and/or Crutchfield kit give me what I need, or should I order the Pilot head unit kit to get the thin immediate surround? Are any of these gunmetal color?
Thanks for any advice.

Metra 95-7801
Why hasn't anyone use the metra 95-7801 kit? it has the tabs to lock it in to place. I have used it on civic and cr-v. Honda has been using the same odd din size.
