i have the metra...its a good kit. and dont pay $400...find a shop that will give it to you at cost...dealer cost on that part is $190. if you cant let me know, i can help you with that...
only thing with the metra is the display message is buggy and will not always show up when you start the car. also, the seat warmers do not have a light on the button so you only know its on when your ass heats up.
I liked the Scosche as well but it looks like it has been taken off of the website again. I am not sure if they just can't get these kits done correctly.
You can change the upper color display to whatever color you want/make. It works just fine. I think it could look a little more stylish. The rubber A/C buttons are kind of bland looking but function just fine.
Nice and thank you for the picture. I contacted Scosche today and they said that they remove the products from the site when they are out of stock. He said the new batch of dash kits will be available by March. I will try then.
If you have a cd/dvd player with a slot it'll most likely be fine in the "top" gears, or park in auto. Mine folds out so it must be in "N" or drive. Would be the same whichever kit is used.
