Metra95-5600 Double DIN Installation Kit for select 1995-2008 Ford/Mazda/Mercury Vehicles,black

On my 96 ranger, I had to trim the bottom edge of the beauty ring to get a standard double din to fit. All kits are this way for this vehicle though, so I won’t dock stars for that.

Product works as intended, although by default it is recessed into the bezel a little further than I like. Note you do have to trim the ford ranger bezel top and bottom lip to fit a double din head unit, and these metra mounting plates can be drilled to move the unit further out for a flush look. (If you want more headunit forward-back adjustability, go with the American International FM-K552 kit) The trim piece did not fit my 7" android head unit but I assume it fits a standard double din radio fine. It fits the ranger bezel snug.

This dash kit works but it will need to be modifies if installing into a Ford Ranger. It did not take long to modify both sides to fit into the vehicle, however if you do not have tools to do so, it will become difficult to install. Once altered, fits well.

I used this product to install a double DIN JVC player in a 1997 Mazda B2300. It worked very well for me. It was easy to assemble, and once the lip of the truck radio panel (from the dash) was trimmed to allow a double din radio to slide in (very easily accomplished with dremel or razor blade), it held the radio in very tightly. The kit appeared flimsy at first glance, but the key was getting the right and left panels on the correct side, and make sure they are properly screwed into the radio chassis, while at the same time pressed into the original radio panel (the part of the dash board that holds factory radio). The trim piece that comes with the kit hides any gap quite well. After the radio and dash panel were assembled in the dash, it was all very steady and tight. Make sure you have the proper radio removal tool (u shaped wire) before beginning. I was pleased with this kit.

works great, nice & sturdy

This unit did not fit in my 1995 ford ranger

Fit with little trimming

This thing didn't work at all for my head unit pretty much had to make my own out of this thing.

Fast service. Did not fit. Did not use.

don't waste your time, get a different kit, managed to get it to work but very disappointed with this kit
