Purchased a Pioneer AVIC-6000NEX with PAC SWI-RC adapter for the steering wheel controls. Also, have both Metra kits for the wiring 70-7552 and 70-7553. The forum here seems to indicate the 70-7553 is what I need, since the car has the no-nav bose set up. I read a bunch of conflicting information on the dash kits between Scosche and Metra, so both were ordered. They both seem like the fit and finish are not anything close to factory. After nearly going blind researching this forum, I do not see a way to address the gap issues on either kit other than felt. This brings me to my question: Is there a kit that actually fits properly and looks factory? The pioneer HU has the standard outer dimensions of 100mm by 178mm. The part that needs to be met by the bezel in the Pioneer HU is 96mm by 170mm. The dimensions of the Scosche kit opening are 99mm by 173mm. If you use the flimsy add on bezel from Metra, it is approximately the same size as the Scosche. Wouldn't think that 3-4mm would look that bad for an evenly spaced gap, but it sure does. Would be willing to pay for something that had a better finish, and fit properly. Been looking on the forum for a WHILE now and not seeing anything other than the felt idea. May do that, but the finish of these kits is not very good either. Guess they could be painted, but why spend the money if there is still a gap to address, lol. Any other products out there? Anyone have the dimensions of the factory bezel opening for the double din non-bose models? Thx.
