Metra Electronics 99-6505 Chry/Dodge/Jeep 98-UP with Pocket Dash Kit

I tried all three Metra kits and the Scosche kit, due to installation problems, that were designed for use with my 2001 Jeep grand Cherokee. Hopefully my review will help other avoid having to spend 400% more on install kits, and Metra will actually provide more useful information to help users select the best kit for them.First, at least for 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokees:1) The fit of the Metra 99-6503 kit is really poor and should be avoided. The one I received simply will not fit inside the rounded rectangular opening of the Jeep bezel.2) the fit of the Scosche kit was also poor. while it could be inserted into the bezel, the fit was too tight I n some areas and very uneven. Not recommended.3). Both the Metra 6504 and the 6505 fit pefectly into the Jeep bezel, but you need to determine whether your stereo must be DIN mounted or whether it requires use of its own bezel (like the Clarion NZ503 flip out GPS screen stereo that I installed). If either is true, you should use the 6505 kit. The 6504 kit should only be used for ISO mounts and where the stereo does not need it own bezel. My clarion could be ISO mounted, but the tight face opening of the 6504 kit interfered with the flip out screen. also, as others have noted, the mounting position of the 6504 is deep, and with a flush mount stereo, use of the 6504 kit will result in a recessed face.

I bought this for my father-in-law's 2004 Dodge Ram 1500. I bought him a new head unit for Christmas to replace the factory unit that refused to give up his ABBA CD. The idea was to have the box for the new head unit wrapped and under the tree but have the unit mounted to this dash kit, harness and antennae adapter so I could sneak it into the truck with out him knowing. I told him that I had to move his truck and in about five minutes I had the radio mounted in his truck. It looks great but that little pocket under the radio is useless. A CD in it's case doesn't even fit into it. I would've rather them just center the radio. I guess you could use it for paper. Other than that very small complaint the mount worked fine.

This is a very nice dash kit, it works great for my 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The lower pocket fits a small mp3 player but I wish is was a little bigger, I put a hole in the back side to add the plug for the mp3 player. This unit fits my new stereo and the Jeep fantastic but the stereo would have been too far back in the adapter if I had not modified it to fit better. Very nice product but could use a few small improvements but for the price it is great.

This product does exactly what it's supposed to do. If you are new to installing car stereos, (as I am) you my need to slow down and read (imagine that... reading) the instructions carefuly, so a good understanding is had of said instructions. I used this product to install a Kenwood KDC-X896 head unit in my 2005 Dodge Ram 1500, and it is a perfect fit. Head unit is securly mounted to the item, and the item fit my vevicle without any modification.

This was one of the easiest dash kits I have used. I put this in a friend's 2001 Chrysler Sebring. There were no confusing tabs that needed to be broken off, or any pieces that needed to be added for this vehicle. Other cars/ trucks may require the other 3 pieces included in the kit, but they are a breeze to snap on if needed. This kit fit the shape of the dash perfectly, and the small pocket at the bottom fits her iPod perfectly. There was just enough room to cut a hole in the back of the pocket to run the iPod cable from the stereo into the pocket.

Very easy to install, but you must be careful. I broke one of the tabs on the inner bezel during a test fit. Nothing I can't live with, because it fits so well the bezel will not fall off, but don't lock it in until you're ready to avoid stressing the tabs. Also, the cubby slot is pretty narrow and not much good for anything, so it's probably best to go with the sister bezel model without cubby.

This item fit my 2004 Jeep Wrangler with no issues. The only problem I have is when using the din mount from your head unit it places the radio to far back into the dash mount. Not an issue for some people but, the head unit is sunk back into the dash kit a little too far for my taste. Its nice and secure though and no issues with CD skipping.

The radio adapter 2004 Jeep Liberty is excellent, easy to install and looks great in the car and the price is very cheap.This adapter has only two things to criticize, first, the plastic material is very strong but may break if we have not careful when we installing it... And second, the pocket is too small, it only fit 2 cd without the case. However, I recommend it.

Ne fait pas parfaitement pour tout les modèles

The product does fit the dash or my jeep TJ 2003, the only minor problem is that the fit around the opening of it isn't that great. Had to shave off a couple millimeters of one of the rounded corners for it to fit. Still all in all good product!

Very good product it fitted like a glove, no problems at all, very easy to install

thanks

Fit in the dash perfectly, but the cut-out for the stereo is cut a little too big, the stereo sleeve is loose in the opening, nothing that can't be fixed by shimming it up. All in all a decent product for the price.
