Ok, so I've read up on the two difference types of double din setups for the USDM Fit. What I've figured out is that the Scosche kit doesn't fit properly without modifications and the colour is off. The Metra kit looks cheap. So here's my questions:

1) Which kit should i go for?
2) Pics of the Metra Kit installed?
3) Is there some other company that offers a double din kit for our cars?

Thanks in advance!!!

 

Metra kit Once installed the color match is extremely close and fitment is perfect. There's also BEstKits kit but the coloring on the heater controols looks realy crappy.

 

so go with the Metra kit then? Any pics of it installed?

 

I can get some pics for you tuesday along with the 3.5Kw of sound system in my fit ..

 

im interested in knowing this too!

abcsr2ez4me YOU'RE AWESOME!!!I LOVE YOU!!!

 

I like the metra kit, how much does that run for?

 

50 bucks on crutchfield. 25 if you buy a deck over 130 bucks

 

$50 bucks is a really good price.

 

you upgrade your alternator? If so where did you get it done cuz I've been researching that route lately.

 

Stock alternator. Just swapped in an Optima Yellow top. I never use the amps to anywhere near full power when driving around. The Bawworx 3Kw amp is just for quick demos. It took 4 seconds of "Baby Got Back" to break the factory mirror out of the mount.

 

O ok I was like how the hell is fit alt handling 3000 watts lol.

Our plan now is we are gonna just put a kinetik battery in the rear and connect it to the stocker instead of swapping out right now.

Do you know how many amps stock alternator puts out?

 

it's rated 75Amps hot @13.5V

and it's a major pain to get to/remove.Looks like the motor has to be tilted very far back..or rad support needs to be removed.

 

O I thought it was only 60 awesome. According to good old ohms law I should be pulling 59ish with my setup.

And yeah it does look like a bitch to replace.

 

how much does the scoche run for?

 

about the same as the metra 50 bucks. all you gotta do is search car stereo websites or give places around you a call. Like crutchfield.com or sonicelectronix.com seems to be very popular

 

this is from the crutchfield website, link below but i dont see if mentioning scosche or metra anywhere..im looking for the metra one.

Honda Fit In-dash Receiver Kit 2007-up; chassis sizes DD, E at Crutchfield.com

 

That is the metra one dude. Look at the post I put up above comparing the two. Look a little closer and you'll notice the difference

 

i went metra...got it for around $25
