Is there a template available for cutting the dash (yeh - I know) to accept a single din head unit? I could use the outer trim piece, but it flexes.
Also, how do you support the rear of the head unit?
Thanks

I just used the cage as a template, just make sure you cut it too small. Better to have to file out some than have it too big. And to support it I used the support that comes with it and attatched it to the underside of the dash. There should be a spot under there where the original had a support. Just had to bend a little. worked great. Never had a skip once.

Good luck.
