I just saw that Crutchfield has updated their site to have options for the 09 Fits. My only issue is that they are not recomending any double din recievers? I have already seen these in use on this forum. I guess my question is that if you can get the right wire harness and make your own mounting kit, can't you use whatever reciever you like?

 

yes you can.
here is one where you can clearly
see that this person made his own
brackets.

I thought people were using the factory navi kit for a DD receiver

 

most are, but I am sure Scosche or Metra will come out with some crappy looking piece Crutchfield will want to charge $80 for.

You can also buy the JDM double din rails from Japanparts.com - Mail order from Japan directly|JDM Parts,Performance Auto Parts,for Subaru, Mazda,Mitsubishi,Honda,Nissan,Toyota car to install any headunit utilizing the OEM navi panel

 

yes. definitely use the oem nav panel instead of a metra or scosche one. the fit will be sooo much better.
