A dremel or saw. Either way you cut it.

Just installed a double din radio in my Durango today. Was thinking about buying one of his modified bezels so it the hole wouldn't be so wide, but then saw it was $200 and puckered up a bit. Guess I'll just have to deal with the included trim panel from my radio until I can be bothered to try and mess with fiberglass.

My 06 dash is bone stock. I want to do tint before getting any electronics in there that'll make somebody want to gut my dash!

Figured that was coming lol. Got pictures the next day since it was dark when I finished. I still need to play with the brackets and get it to sit better. Not going to mess with it until the weekend though.

From my point of view.

I added the radio controls to the wheel as well since this unit has a wheel control interface built in.

Oh yeah, model of the radio is a Jensen DMX5020. Didn't seem worth it to me to spend an extra $130 for the version of it with navigation when my phone can do all of that.

I forgot to get a picture of the microphone for the radio, but I tucked it in the corner of the headliner and A pillar.

sweet!, looks like a nice setup. I would like to see a radio that can stream the screen data from your phone, kinda like a chromecast setup, this way you can have a nice screen for the nav and sitll have free up to date maps/traffic data from gmaps or waze

I think those Android Auto ones can do that, but they're all at least $500 at the moment.
