Both the Metra and Scoche kits come with ISO mounts so it shouldn't be a problem.

the factory metal ISO brackets are infinitely superior to the crappy plastic "mounts" that come with the aftermarket kits. what a joke. i actually installed my headunit the typical "DIN" way, but trimmed down the mounting sleeve to allow the rear ISO mount screws to be exposed so i could re-install the OE brackets.

using the OEM brackets allows you to use the two main support screws that hold the OE headunit in place. there's not a single squeak or rattle in my install and it is solid as a rock.

re-use the OE brackets. i can't even imagine using a DIN only mount on the plastic flimsy aftermarket kits.
