Ok i ordered a touchscreen radio for my truck it is a 04. Well on my 99 i use to have i did not need a dash kit for it the radio fit just as good as stock. Will i need a dash kit for my truck?

 

What does crutchfield say?

 

What?

 

If its your typical Double-DIN, then no.
I installed one for my friend's 2007 F150, it was a perfect fit.

Although rare, not all Double-DIN radios will be the same in size & dimensions.

You may have some gap exposed after installation (without a dash kit), or you may have one that'll be 1/8" too high or wide.


If you ordered from Crutchfield, they should tell you immediately.

 

The radio is 177mm long, 110mm tall and 146mm deep and i bought it from ebay like all my radios.

 

Go to crutchfield.com. Add your vehicle, find the stereo you have, or at least the same size, add to cart, and see what trim pieces they try to sell you, and thats what you need.

 

Yes. I ordered mine from Crutchfield and they included both the wiring harness and the dash install kit. You're definitely going to need it because it's different than the factory radio dimensionally. I got a JVC 6.25" touchscreen from them on Black Friday

 

Here's a link to just a general search I did for ya. It's easy to navigate the site if you pay attention to what they tell you

alright guys thanks for the help. This is the first time i have heard of crutchfield. Onces i get the harness, radio and dash kit in i will post a pic of how it turned out.

 

No worries, sounds good! Crutchfield has a great website, and great customer service. Bought a few things from there. Always good to compare prices with other sites, but the vehicle documentation is pretty nice. Similar info in a Chilton manual, but there's are really well written. I believe they are pdf's now.
