Car Computer / CarPC - Upcoming Build and Journal

I think you would need the dash kit... to make the screen fit... The best way to fabricate the screen is ...open the screen take the front trim of the screen and a spare dash kit... then bondo / fiberglass them together ...make sure not to get bondo where you would fix the screen back on...

The screen I have is pre fitted to a double din case. Do I still need a dash kit? Or does it bolt straight in? I have the base stereo, by the way.

I'm also currently wondering if this car has factory crossovers, or if the car just has bass blockers at each speaker. If it doesn't have crossovers, it makes my install so much easier. I can use a turbowires kit to wire the speakers without a hitch.

EDIT: I think I have confirmed that the tweeters have their own caps or "bass blockers." That being said, I'm gonna probably go ahead and use the Metra Turbowires Harness (http://www.metraonline.com/part/70-7552) to wire the amp to the stock speakers. Later down the line, I'll go for fresh wire alongside new components and xovers. For now, I just want to get the car computer put in and working flawlessly before I dump money into shiny new speakers.

If you screen is pre-fitted to a double din case, you might/not need the dash kit. I have a Kenwood 9960 and did not need to use a dash kit... but had the option to... the amount of space between the HU and the trim of the car was not a lot for me to use the dash kit...

So for you it will depend on how snug the screen is with the Z's dash... and then decide based on that... you might be able to measure before hand to get a good idea..
