I've searched the forums and found installs that were for model year 2011 and older.

The color of the plastic dash kits are grey to match the 2011 model. The 2012 Fit has black plastics on the dash. Is there one available and if not, any suggestions?

I've seen some of the plastic moldings in this forum where an applique was applied to make it look carbon fiber or another color like in this picture. Thread link is below.

Can anyone recommend a solution?

Links to products will be appreciated.

 

You could order a 2012 Sport Navi dash panel if you are going with a indash screen setup

P/N - 77251-TK6-A01ZB Center Panel Assy. (Dark Gun Metallic) MSRP $61.07

 

Thanks for the heads up. I was curious about going this route but couldn't find documentation. I found the link below but was not sure if this was just the plastic piece or if it came with all necessary hardware for mounting a double din deck. Would you know off hand or is this a job for me to call the dealer/Bernardi/etc?

I work at a dealership in the parts dept so if you have any questions just hit me up

This is just for the plastic piece. You would also need the mounting bracket/hardware

 

How would you recommend me deal with the mounting hardware? Is that part available through Honda or is this something I'd have to come up with using alternate parts?

 

Paint both the glove box and the bezel. The rustolium for plastic works great. I did mine in white to match the body color (mine started as silver being a 2011).

 

I am looking into this right now.

Scosche got back to me this morning, and told me to order the 09-11 dash kit. I replied back to him about the color difference, and have not heard back yet.

Metra has not returned my email yet, so I will reply once I hear from them as well.

 

I just used the OEM piece:


77251-TK6-A01ZB
77255-TF0-000
93913-14420

Use the trim kit from a Honda Pilot to fill the gap between the headunit and the trim kit.

 

I know this question has been answered before, but I can I replace the panel in my '12 fit sport 5MT with the part above (77251-TK6-A01ZB) so I can install an aftermarket stereo? The installation above looks really cool.

My VBM '12 FS is en-route! I'm psyched!

 

any pics? i want to see the white finish!

 

Just to make sure from what I read here, the 2012 navi trim is a dark gun metallic and not avail in black graphite? And the only route to match the black is paint since no other dash kit has the same black?

Thanks for the info, I have been wondering the same thing!

 

Your install looks great! Thanks for the part numbers. Would you happen to have the part number for the Honda Pilot trim kit? Is it from the 2012 Pilot?

 

Interior Dash Trim Kit for HONDA FIT 2009 2010 2011 17pcs Brushed Alum | eBay

 

That second part number is the Pilot trim piece

 

Thanks! Much appreciated!

 

False, that's the part number for the bracket to hold the headunit to the trim piece. The Pilot trim piece is for an 03-08, Metra part number 95-7861 (according to my PayPal history).

 

Thank you very much! I just ordered the OEM parts from Bernardi. It looks like Amazon has the Metra part. I'm going to order that along with the radio and antenna harnesses. I have a Pioneer Avic Z2 (modded to run the Avic Z3 software) from my last vehicle. I plan to install that in the Fit. Just need to do a little more research to find out where some of the additional wiring I need to tap into is located (vss, etc) and a good place to install the additional components (Bluetooth module, steering wheel control module, iPod controller, etc).

I'll be thrilled if my install comes out anywhere as nice as yours! Thanks again for the help!

 

Hey Guys im actually new to the fit game just picked up a 2012 Milano Red fit last night and I am dying to get a navi in there already. I had a question will my steering wheel controls still work with this head unit? Thanks for the help guys

 

Use the Axxis Steering Wheel Control kit (ASWC). Then it'll work just fine. I'm using a pioneer x930-bt just to clarify.

 

Thanks for the reply, did you need to do anything special for the aux cable that is in the glove compartment?
