it was required to put new stereo in and make it functional. it is the cheapest way to go to have a stereo but it is below original unit. it is just too expensive to put in original stock equipment

It really could have been my fault, but I doubt it. One of the wires was loose, but didn't realize it until I had spent hours troubleshooting, and took it back to Best Buy and paid for them to install it, just to tell me afterwards that it was just a loose wire. I paid their $70 installation fee anyways cause I felt bad.

Used this dash kit to install a Pioneer MVH-X360BT that I picked up for my 2003 Honda Accord EX-L (no Nav) on Black Friday. The included instructions are a bit lacking but thankfully there are a lot of online resources which show you how to disassemble the necessary parts of the dash. Installation was very smooth and the kit slid right into the slot where the cubby used to reside. After almost a month of use, I haven't noticed any issues with rattling or stability. Some have complained that the plastic material isn't the same quality as the dash material, but the car is 11 years old, so it doesn't really matter to me.
Some notes:
- You must connect the blue wire in the Accord if you have the rear in-glass antenna. Otherwise, you won't get AM stations. The instructions aren't clear and refer to it as the "powered antenna'" which led me to believe this was for the old style motorized antennas. I made this mistake then had to solder it in the car.
- I attached the included brackets to the receiver, then slid the receiver in the pocket. It's very snug and almost no gap can be seen.
- No antenna extension cable was necessary. The cable is on the same side. I just had to cut off the electrical tape that was securing it to the factory radio.
- You won't be able to detach the front radio display once installed. This isn't an issue but just something to be aware of.
Beyond that, it was one of the easiest installs I've done.

Better than expected and looks OEM Great alternative to much more expensive options if you want aftermarket or if your factory stereo goes out. It looks good and has everything you need for a clean install.
