for anyone wanting to install a headunit to a dc2 there is a mounting kit you can get from autobarn (about $50) it makes life a sh*t load easier.
Just thought I'd mention it as I have stuffed around so much trying to get my cd player to fit, then I got this fascia thing and it just slid in perfectly. :thumbsup:
Got pics mate? I would like to have a look see, my head unit is just basically sitting in there.
It probably is the one made by aerpro.

....?
so your sayin dc2's you can't mount an aftermarket headunit directly replacing the stock oem honda headunit ?
theres these two screws at the back of the stock head unit that are a bitch to put back in let alone take out, and i dont think aftermarked head units have the bracket to bolt it onto anyway.
Basically you have to tape the head unit mounting cage to the din pocket, and use the tabs to hold the cage in place, then slide the head unit in. No bolts or screws to secure it properly. And if you dont do it 100% perfectly ure headunit wont sit right, just take a look at most of the pics of dc2's for sale with aftermarket headunits, and ull see that most of the head units are sitting and a "not quite right angle" thats not 100% flush with the din pocket.
So with the mounting kit, it should sit in correctly ?
vti-r teg - can you should be actual pics of the mounting kit, just want to see how the product looks like so i can recognise it at the shop
interesting find. i too have noticed that aftermarket headunits did not fit exactly correctly into the space. it make the whole centre console look slightly off balance.
sorta off topic but doesn any kno how to take out the stock oem headunit...
or pop out completely when u take your car down the 1/4 :oQuote:

To be exact - the part references are:
FP997898 Facia Kit Honda Multikit 89 up (Mounting bracket)
AP1720 Harness Honda Accord/ Civic 86-97 (Wire Harness from Aerpro)
This should make ur shopping much easier =)
i ordered the FP997801 because they had no stock in but it's the double din version of yours...even though my headunit is only single din but i think i can just slide the pocket in there too now!
BTW can you email me photos of yours? mhor@iinet.net.au
ta
you can order these from supercheap auto
im pretty sure it was around the 30-40 mark
