OEM Honda Fit Navi Dash Kit
I've had a scosche dash kit on my eclipse avn726e navi. Unfortunately after two different kits due to the cheap plastic it's made of things keep snapping off or squeaking.
Is it possible to use the OEM Honda fit navi dash kit on an aftermarket navi such as the eclipse? I'm assuming the build on an HONDA kit will be much better.
Thanks in advance.

not sure if you can but oem parts are expensive. how about you get new clips and re-install it? chances are it's just the clips that are loose (or you lost a few of them while taking the stock one out)..

As above, before aftermarket kits came out, I used the OEM Honda version. Unfortunately, it doesn't come with trim rings, since that's integral to the OEM Nav headunit. I have a Pioneer AVIC nav unit. The gap is not that bad - I've lived with it a couple of years - but I'm still considering replacing the Honda unit with the Metra unit for a better fit.

okay.. i finished the job.. everything came out ok.
unfortunately the navi sticks out a bit much from the dash kit.
anyone have pictures of their finished product?
when i tried to line it up to slide it back more.. there werent enough screw holes to put it in place. I did see funkybucket's post but he fabricated a custom bracket so im sure he had a chance to line it up his liking.
please advise. Thanks!

how far does it stick out? you can do what kenchan said bore the holes a little to get it sitting back a bit
or do what i did and put some washers/spacers in between the bracket and the dash, but if you do remember to use some longer screws to hold the bracket to the dash, just so the bracket is on the back of that dash tightly,
mine seems quite flush

jookybananna...I'm doing this soon, just waiting for the parts to come in the mail. What do you mean washers/spacers in between the bracket and the dash? Can you please clarify where these go?
Thanks!
Thanks!

the bottom one is the one you want to look at, it has 4 holes for the bracket to mount to
and this pic you want to look at the one on the right, with the metal bracket on, so if you use some metal washers (i think mine were 1/8" thick) whatever size you need to make it sit back a bit so it is flush with the console, and its easy figure out if you measure how much the headunit is sticking out, then thats how thick of a washer you need
also if you do use the washer to space it back a bit, the one screw on the bottom of the metal bracket won't line up any more, so don't need to use that, you will know what i am talking about when you take your stock headunit off
