Re: Metra #99-3052 dash kit

My biggest issue with a DIN style radio was access, finger access. I found it difficult to push the right button for volume etc with the low mounting and no upward tilt. I ended up repairing my dash and installed a unit from Retro Sound, couldn't be happier. The radio has 2 knobs old school style, front and rear aux inputs and a thumb drive input. Of course a shaft style radio doesn't play CD's but with a thumb drive and aux input I don't need CD capability. Another benefit of the old style looking radio, thieves see it and keep moving.
