@ Mole177 Must be tough! (I kid, I kid)

 

Metra kit is out as well I purchased it the other day. Supposed to be delivered on the 9th. Will post pics.

 

haha...do you watch games?

Do you have any clue what they chant during gameplay? I know each fc has different sayings, but I have no clue what arsenal fans say except "arrrsennnallll, arrrrrssssenalll"

 

Completely off subject but, "I AM A HUGE GOONER!" Henry FTW! Been to Highbury Twice and even the training grounds in Hertfordshire. However I was given a Micheal Owen jersey a few years ago so I am not that hateful towards Liverpool! LOL

Ok back on topic...

Not like it really matters since your completely mashed and pissed on Stella and Carlsburg, but here are the the most recent chants along with lyrics!

Scosche HA1708B Honda Fit Dash Kit

 

I dont really understand what the point of this kit is, when you can get the Honda OEM kit online from the Navi model, which is going to be a PERFECT match -- whereas this one is a gamble... no?

 

I think its more about what kind of headunit you will be installing. Yes, the Honda OEM Navi dash kit is a perfect fit but I believe you can only install a double din headunit (correct me if im wrong ) while the Metra and Scosche kits allow you to install both double-din and single-sin headunits since they have the mounting brackets on the dash kit.

Then again, I'm not too sure =X hopefully someone who knows more can educate us

 

I called Scosche Cust Service, and the tech guy says this kit does NOT include any metal brackets... he said it simply has the Double Din opening 'cut out' in a different spot (shifted over) so that it aligns an aftermarket unit properly.

Im not too convinced about that explanation!

 

Greetings,

The Double and Single DIN compatible; HA1708B is offered for the 2009 Honda Fit.
The kit is color matched silver and includes a storage pocket for Single DIN stereo installations.
To complete the stereo installation we also recommend the HA11B wiring harness and HAAB antenna cable adapter.

Hello...does the kit include brackets? So far I'm considering the Metra kit instead which does include brackets for proper install of a single or double din unit.

 

Whoa, was just about to order this but i'm gonna wait til we get a solid answer on this. I already have the Honda navi panel so if this doesn't come with the brackets its not really of much use. If it doesn't, whats the point? Mole...never miss a game, much to my boss' displeasure. I've had lot's of "dentist" appointments on midweek Champions League match days. Football>Work

 

The Metra kit, which is out, comes with single din and double din brackets.
