I purchased a Pioneer F90BT navigation system, I need a kit or something in order to install it where the stock radio was, not, I dont mean as in the wires, I have all of that, I mean as in mounting, it is slightly thicker than the stock radio, but it is also isnt as wide, its probably a few centimeters off on each side, is there an aftermarket kit or somthing I can buy? everything I've seen so far only covers over the existing dash board components

did it not come with the metal cage to mount it in the dash? do you have pictures to help us get a better idea of your problem?


Si
 






this is the stock head unit

This is the aftermarket head unit

this is the problematic piece, my aftermarket headunit it slightly to tall to fit inside of it, but I can cut the piece neatly to fit it, the other problem is, the head unit is slightly not wide enough to fit inside, there is a slight gap and I have no idea where to get a cage for it

hey, upon further research, I found and purchased the proper installation kit, it was the Scosche FD1330B / FD1330
 






That, or the Metra 5805. Youll have to trim the bezel for it to fit though. Pretty much that lip on the top and the bottom will need to go, the ones on the sides stay so the install kit has a place to mount
