Due to differences in aftermarket radios, this is
a general guide. It is also possible that the aftermarket radios might not fit
your vehicle perfectly. Unfortunately, the radio shown in this guide is one that
did not have a perfect fit. It included a extra plastic facet that circles the
radio, causing us not to be able to use the flush mounting plate to fill in the
gap below the radio. You may need to improvise a bit in your install.
