    Hi Nick,

    Have replied to your PM, for everyone else, the trim is the just the standard piece that comes with the Alpine head unit. Guess I was just lucky that it blends in perfectly!

    What head unit did you get?

    it's fairly simple. Remove radio, Remove pocket and place the frame for the double din unit into the slot. Wire up and you should be done. The one above shows how to do all that.

    I have a 7" JVC DVD and i needed that plastic frame. I also got the antenna plug and the wiring plug so didnt have to touch any of the stock wiring. Its a perfect fit
