Good kit

It fits and allowed me to install my 2DIN radio, but I had to make a few slight modifications and I had to use different mounting hardware than came with the package. The bezel trim could not be installed due to not enough space between the head unit and this bracket.

Dash Kit Stereo

The help to place an order was great. The dash kit was perfect it was easy to install and it looks awesome. The shipment took 2 days and I live in Wyoming by the mountains.

worked for me

finish is comparable to oem dash texture and color. it is 100% plastic and snaps together, it does not feel as durable as the oem unit but installs easily enough. Depending on the application, you most likely will have to trim out the unused portion of the kit.

If it weren't included with my purchase I wouldn't have used it

Poor fitment - upper edge of the main panel doesn't completely fit flush with the OEM vent panel, flush in the center but gradually sinks in towards the side. Another customer posted an installed photo and you can see the poor fitment Finish/texture doesn't match the OEM dash parts. Included screws do not fit, they're too large. Come springtime I might try reusing the OEM dash panel and replace the lower pocket with the one from this kit, since the OEM pocket has an auxiliary input that's no longer used.

Good quality materials, good design. Instructions are a bit vague; I had to fool around with it and figure out myself how to snap the sides onto the front piece. Sturdy construction. The screws provided to mount the radio are too short when using the spacer plates with the JVC KW-M865BW head unit. I'll just need to get some screws that are 3 mm longer.

Fit well but the first step in the instructions was confusing. It said assemble sides to main frame. It should have said assemble sides to front frame.

Could use improvement

For a double din I had to do additional modifications beyond manufacturers directions. The brackets fight too tightly against the main frame and I am concerned that it will cause stress fractures on the brackets in time. However, it does work and looks good from the outside for now. Hopefully it holds up in time.

Simple and good-looking

One of the nicest and easiest dash kits I've installed in a while. I used the trim ring from the kit rather than the stereo's trim ring because I think it blends better with the whole dash. Highly recommend!

Terrible Fit

This product was terrible to get to fit. You had to get both sides to be the same distance, there was no stop position. I gave up and purchased another brand. After working with this one for a couple of hours had the new one fitted to radio and bolted in car in about 30 minutes. I have made. Purchases from Crutchfield since I was in high school in the 70's and first problem I've ever had.

Good unit, but directions are inaccurate.

Good kit, but the directions are are not accurate. Installing a double-din head unit (Alpine ILX W650), I could not get the main front trim piece on after the head unit was mounted. The large dash trim has to be engaged to the side mount pieces before they are secured to the sides of the radio, then the entire unit mounted to the dash. (This is just the reverse action of how the OEM unit comes out).

American International HON-K817 Dash Kit

This is a good product with many extra parts that weren't needed for my application. I installed this in a 2008 Honda CR-V. The trim pieces have a texture that is a perfect match to factory. The only negative and it's minor is the spacer that goes on each side between the stereo and the mounting kit. They kept falling out before I could get the screws in to hold them in place. I decided a few small dabs of silicone gasket material, (something I had already) any glue would work between the mounting kit and the spacer was the solution. Everything thing fit perfectly once I figured that out.

Good Dash kit

I've used a lot of after market replacement dash kits, this one was very easy to work with. The instructions were a little cryptic, but the pictures helped and the fact that things could really only go together one way and line up right, really helped. I did find that my Pioneer face is catching on the plastic inset when it's retracting after opening up to let you put a dvd in. I'm going to need to do some filing or something to keep that from happening.

Skip this one - it will break

Honestly, this dash kit is junk. The mount brackets for the sides are plastic and attach to the faceplate with small tabs - that expectedly break. Very flimsy until you get it mounted to the stereo and then it's a gamble if the plate will break putting it into the dash. Get the Schoshe kit - much better and more like the factory mount.

Correct product excellent service

needed a new receiver for my daughters 2009 Honda CRV, I have purchased several products over the years from Crutchfield, so I went back. Wasn't completely clear on the product as the pictures on the web were different with the interior of the m model they showed. I started a chat online and got all the answers I needed to complete the purchase in less than half an hour. Fast forward to installation, had trouble figuring out the mounting kit, called the service line and the tech used my smart phone and a video conference app to verify what I was doing and fixed my confusion. Installation complete!! The only thing I would say is they told me I needed to buy an installation tool kit for the install that I did not end up needing. However, to their credit, I called after the install was complete and they credited me for the kit. This is why I always go to Crutchfield!

Not as multi-purpose compatible as one would think.Used only faceplate

This review is for 3rd Gen Honda CRV and Boss BN965BLC Head unit this Dash kit was ordered for. First, the kit came in so many pieces it made my head spin just eyeballing all the pieces and made me grab the included paper to see how this needs to be attached to the head unit since there were couple plates to serve as, spacers? Second, upon following the simple, non-describing single and only picture on the paper, rather figuring it on my own I noticed that the mounting brackets overlapped the rear fuse on the head unit making it tilt vertically under about 10 degree angle on one side. The other rear side of the mounting bracket covered and thus blocked the radio port for the plug - due to that, there comes negative impression already, considering pliers will need to be used in order to break the plastic in both locations preventing the head unit fitting . Third, the spacers made no sense whatsoever as to how it should be placed and screwed into the radio yet they were needed even when using double din head unit since there were gaps and tilted the entire assembly inwards at the bottom sides of the head unit. Luckily, I could use hondas stock radio metal brackets, screws even, Boss did excellent job on pre-drilling holes to possibly all the cars stock mounting brackets. Cant say that about American International dash kits except the face plate which is all I needed at the end. Credit to BOSS though as they also provided detachable frame plate which was very needed

The dash kit is very close to the OEM finish. It didn't line up completely, but the vehicle (2007 Honda CR-V) has 165,000 miles so it's not like I'm worried about resale value. IMO the instructions were very poor. For example, you'll need cut off the little "knobs" from the molding process to get the sides to snap together.

Does the job but made with cheap plastic

This product does work as intended but it's cheap plastic and you're actually paying for extra parts (single and double din install). It seems to match the dash but not perfectly. I hope it doesn't fade over time. Not a great value but a necessary component.

Mounting Kit

Installed a new head unit as an upgrade to my daughter's 2009 Honda CR-V, and this kit helped a lot. However, the screws provided for attaching the mounting brackets to the head unit were too short to even go through the mounting bracket of the kit, much less actually attach the brackets to the head unit. You have to find/cut to length your own mounting screws.

Questionable Quality

This dash kit did the job for me, but it's pretty cheap plastic, and the instructions are pretty awful. It didn't affect the security of my receiver being installed, but one of the tabs that clicks into the frame that goes around the face of the receiver was nearly broken off. The OEM stereo had metal brackets securing it to the dash, so it's a wonder why those wouldn't be made, and if they are made, recommended.

It fits in 2010 CRV

Fit and finish in dash is good. Dash clips fell off to never never land behind the dash, it's ok because they really don't hold anything it seems. Dislike any kit I have to break/cut parts off of but that's because it's a one mold for all design and the parts are all hidden by the bezel (user must trim the parts that would support the single din areas to install a double din radio) The front bezzle (cover around the radio area you press in last) could be a little tighter fit, on my older Panasonic 3200 it had a small gap at the top, seems to be hidden now it's in. In general though we will see as time passes if it needs a little dab of glue to hold in as it's mostly just a pressure fit with no real clips. The install instructions are good, but printing them out was a pain (had to sink to fit letter size paper), be nice if they included a hard copy like the old days. For the money it is worth it I guess. Installed in 2010 CRV base model with a Panasonic 3200 DVD radio

Fit my car and my new stereo

Fits the car well. The color and texture of the plastic trim matches the adjacent trim in the car. Once I assembled it it was easy to install. The directions were my only gripe. They are horrible. The first figure (the one for attaching the sides) mentioned in the directions isn't actually there. That was a little frustrating, but once I figured it out on my own it was pretty easy to do the rest.

It worked as expected

It took some trial and error to put things together, the instructions could have been a little clearer. Interestingly enough, when everything was done I actually ended up just using the double din bezel. i had the adapter put together and found I needed longer bolts to mount the radio. I was getting ready to go get them, and noticed that the Alpine double din radio actually fit perfectly in the existing frame from the Honda, it just needed a bezel. I took the one that came with the kit, trimmed off the mounting tabs, added 2 drops of superglue and was done :)

Poor instructions, kit screws don't fit

The instructions are incomplete, and wrong in some ways. It's unclear how to attach some items, there is no "Figure F" to refer to, and I'm supposed to attach a rear support bracket that's not included. I'm supposed to make one? Might as well make the entire kit. The screws that came with the radio don't have the reach to fit thru this new bracket. The kit screws don't hold tight.

Good produce

The fit and finish is good but not perfect when compared to the original Honda radio frame. There is a slight warp to the frame that is that can be seen when it is installed against the existing dashboard panels but it is not a big deal. The instructions supplied by the American International Company are poorly written and hard to follow, I had to re-read them several times and work with the part on the radio for a while before it made sense. The frame assembly instructions were separate from the Crutchfield MasterSheet instructions. In contrast, Crutchfield's instructions to disassemble and reassemble the dashboard panels on the MasterSheet were very clearly written. Too bad Crutchfield didn't write the instructions for the frame assembly.

Poor instructions caused headaches

The instructions and associated illustrations were so poor it took me longer to figure out how to fit the correct bits together than it did to take apart the dash and install the new receiver. If you have not done this before and / or do not know if you have a DIN or ISO size receiver, you can try randomly fitting the bits together....statistically it can take between 5 and 60 minutes....but hey, you may get lucky! Better that the manufacturer take a lesson....and if there is a completely impractical pictorial instruction, only then add words.
