Thanks for the pictures. It will help me install my navigation. I am waiting on my bezel from Weedahoe but it looks like he is not going to send it back. I'm going to buy another bezel and do it myself. Thanks again for the pictures. I would be careful doing business with Weedahoe....

I would be careful doing business with Weedahoe. I sent him my Bezel and $225.00 October 2015 and its April 2016 and he still hasn't returned my bezel. Now he will not answer phon

no problem, hope they help.. it really isn't hard to do... i've been thinking about cutting the metal plate to see if i can get the radio to sit further back ( more flush with the bezel).

Do you think it would work to fill in the half circles on each side with bondo?

i don't see why not. but i'm not an expert. i forget the members name on here. but they use an autobody filler for theirs. which is what bondo is, right? i would use some thing as a backer though, to help keep in place while the filler drys.

I think bondo is the same as body filler. I found Bondo body filler on Amazon and a wire mesh to stick on the back of the bezel. I guess that is what I'm going to do. Thanks

You can post single pics in your threads from photobucket, just copy & paste the IMG code into your reply from the Share Your Photo list on the right. It makes the thread easier to follow.

I remember guys did cut something to get it to fit perfect. And the body filler should work good. Nice work.

Is the red/black hot wire on the radio harness hot all the time or just when you turn the key on.
