Metra 95-5026 Double-DIN Installation Kit fits Select 2001-2006 Ford/Lincoln/Mercury Vehicles

Put in my 06 Escape. It is not on the list for fit, but works without any modification, in fact it says it will not fit 2006 Escape. I had to drill small hole in back of head unit to install the guide for the bottom of the radio. Fits the odd size Ford opening on this car like a glove. Installation requires the moving of center instrument bezel. You do not have to remove center bezel it pulls back far enough to allow head unit to slide in, just place head unit on top of dash upside down plug in all wiring then slide in on the center track. There is no reason to use screws on front of the kit just leave the slots empty the center bezel when installed fits tight against these tabs and holds the unit very tight in the opening. It is best to remove the screw slots on the front of the side mounts so the center bezel does not fit to tight, if you leave these intact it could cause binding and a miss fit. After installation the fit looks like this kit was made for the 06 Escape, it does not have a tacky add on look like some kits have. Just an added note there may be slight modification required even on cars or trucks that this is designed to fit. I recommend taping duct tape around the bottom opening of the dash below the center bezel to protect the opening from being damaged by the bottom tabs on the center bezel while installing the head unit in the opening. After doing wiring and routing wires for any options it only takes about 5 minutes to remove center bezel, plug in wires, install head unit in dash and reinstall center bezel. Very easy to remove head unit to do any future add ons. My total install time running wires to rear camera running wires under sill plates, running mic wire up to driver visor, running antenna wires for GPS and traffic receiver, installing AVIC-250 Navigation module under dash, running USB cable to in side center counsel all wires are zip tied and hidden from sight it took a good 8 hours. Another note I am experienced with installing in dash audio equipment so your time could vary. I rate this as an average to easy difficulty, can be done by most anyone. Extremely happy with fit finish and look of this dash kit and I highly recommend the kit for the 2006 Ford Escape. DVD receiver used is an AVHX-5600BHS.

I purchased this kit to install a double din head unit in my 2004 Mustang. This required using a dremel tool to enlarge the corners to get the correct fit for my particular head unit. All you have to do is shave a CH in the four corners I also had to drill new holes in the side pieces to install mounting screws. Small problem. Fits nice and looks great. I recommend this kit to simplify install in a 94-04 mustang.

Good good

This kit did not fit my inexpensive ($45) "S8" 7 inch display stereo that I bought from Amazon so I guess the double DIN standard is not completely a standard? I was able to use just the side pieces included to mount the stereo in my 2003 Ford Explorer (as I believe someone else here mentioned) so it was not a total waste. It's not a perfect fit but not too bad. Also the piece that goes on the back of the stereo to engage the bottom slide rail in the dash will not fit because the stereo has RCA jacks protruding that are in the way. The bottom line is that this kit probably fits my Explorer well but not the aftermarket stereo that I bought so I am not sure how one can tell ahead of time if it will work since the stereos don't seem to be standard. If anyone has more insight on this, please comment.

This went into a 2004 Mustang Deluxe that previously had a Mach 460 jok... er, stereo in it. It fits nicely, holds the unit in place and looks good, imo. The Mustang has a steel rail in the dash that runs under the deck and attaches to the back of it with a plastic piece. This kit does come with that piece, but my Pioneer AVH-X2700BS does NOT have the applicable screw hole to hold it in. I just put some weatherstripping on top of the beam in the 'stang, and it worked great. I think I got that idea from an Amazon review actually, thank you! Once the kit is screwed in, everything's nice and tight in it's place. It feels a little loose and cheap till you get the screws in the side of the deck, then it feels fine. This does NOT come with a wiring harness, so make sure you get that if you need it! I posted some picks!

When I received the first one, it was broken so I had to send it back for a refund. I re-ordered the same product when it came. It was missing a piece. However the product is what I ordered and worked perfectly minus the piece missing.

I have a 2002 mustang gt and it fit perfect for my pioneer mustang!!! Just waiting on my new bezel covering piece to come in!!! And I will be good to go it will look new again!!!

I bought this kit to install a new Pioneer double din head unit into my 2003 Ford Mustang GT. This kit is made out of 100% ABS plastic, and consists of 4 pieces (I didn't bother with the piece that mounts to the bottom of the HU). It is very sturdy, so don't let the fact of it being plastic steer you away. It was a perfect fit for my install, and required no modifications at all. My new HU looks very clean in this kit, just like factory, if not better. Also it is mounted very well, and has no movement to it while using the stereo. I rate this a 5 star for the fact that it does what its meant to do, is sturdy, very easy to install, fit perfect for 99-04 mustangs, looks clean, and priced well. Any similar kit in retail stores goes for at least $20.00 + tax.
