Great basic redo dash kit

Dash kit was easy to put together and perfectly covered up the extra open space left by the removal of my old unit. Kit was easy to install in dash and looks like it was always there.

Get A Different Kit

I needed an install kit for my 2002 Nissan Frontier XE as I was ditching the factory double DIN unit and going to a standard DIN. This was however was absolutely terrible. It wants you to cut tabs off for certain applications and the brackets it said were for my my application still didn't fit right. Plastic was too thick for the limited width available and then the tabs for the screws weren't long enough on one side . Poor engineering for the application

Not so good for a 2003 Pathfinder

Doesn't fit so well in my 2003 Pathfinder SE (Bose). When installed, when I try to attach my trim plate to the dash, the adapter pushes it out so that I can't finish attaching the trim plate. I ended up ordering another "dash kit" adapter elsewhere. We will see if it fits better.

2004 Nissan Xterra. Looks good. Instructions required that thick pieces of plastic be broken off. This was hard to do and may have broken parts of the plastic that you don't want to break.

Crutchfield response on

American International ND-K717 Dash Kit

The tabs were hard to break off. I was worried I was doing something wrong because it only says "remove the XXXX tabs" from whichever din part you are using. A pair of pliers did the trick. The plastic sort of stretches and snaps right off, just make sure you're snapping the right ones off. The din was a little wide for my 1999 Pathfinder so I had to go in at an angle, but it fits perfectly!

American International ND-K717 Dash Kit

These are nice little kits in that for a single DIN receiver you get this additional storage space. The kit is ok I suppose, but it's plastic so there's not too much to expect from it. My one criticism is that I wish the tabs that you need to break off in order to have the dash kit fit properly were easier to break off. I get it, it's cost savings to make a kit that fits up to 3 to 4 vehicle models, but those plastic tabs are so tough that it feels like there has to be a better way. Also, the kit I received isn't exactly like the kit I received 6 years ago so one of the screw holes was actually a bit off. In the end I had to accommodate it by stretching the screw hole entirely. When your receiver is connected to the dash kit it does feel a bit wobbly despite using all of the hardware provided. However, once installed in to the dash of your vehicle it sits nicely and doesn't move so I guess that's fine.

I had to remove two of the tabs on the top and bottom that were set up for a Pathfinder configuration. The instructions were clear however I miss took them to think there was maybe a rubber cover over those tabs the way the picture was shown. Again it was stated clearly to remove the tabs and if I would have taken a little more time and use common sense I would have then that from the get-go. After removing the tabs everything went together just perfectly. So is nothing more than an operator error on my part. Maybe make it clearer for dummies like me and actually show a broken off tab. Again installation went flawlessly and perfectly thank you

Installed in '97 Pathfinder, but instructions stated it was for '98 and up. Very snug lateral fit (left right) into the dash, but still went in Poor fit/finish at bottom edge, where the cubby is. There is an air gap there between the cubby and the dash trim piece. May be due to tight fit on the sides (side pressure causing the bottom lip to bow upward). Will try and either open up the dash sides or open up the dash kit mounting holes. I only need to shift the kit down about a 1/16". Instructions were clear. Plastic finish looks good.

Reinstall of a 13 year old CD Receiver

I purchased a JVC CD Receiver 13 years ago from Crutchfield and installed it in my Mercury Grand Marquis. Well the time had come to reinstall it in a Nissan Frontier. I was blown away when I wrote my email to Crutchfield asking if it was possible if they could support me with all the necessary parts to accomplish this and Holly wrote back saying "No problem" and sent the list and prices of everything needed! Wow they really mean "Lifetime Support"!! I can say I've experienced it first hand now! I put in the order for the parts and the reinstall was a breeze like all of my installs have been using Crutchfield. I'm definitely a Crutchfield a customer "For Life"!

Waste of time for 2000 Xterra and Pioneer DEH-X3800UI Installation

This was a complete waste of time with my vehicle (2000 Nissan Xterra) and the radio I purchased (Pioneer DEH-X3800UI). It wasn't necessary. It wasn't easy to use or understand the two sets of instructions that came with it. And it wasted about 1.5 hours of my time til I just said "Screw it!" and went without doing a DIN installation of the stereo. I pulled the old radio out of it's factory housing, checked the holes to the old housing to the new stereo (a perfect match!) and used the screws included with the stereo. It was free kit so I wasn't out any money. And Crutchfield won't be getting it back because I trashed it, trying to get it to work on the first attempt. Now it's in the recycling bin.

It works, but not great

I used this kit to install a standard DIN receiver in my 2004 Nissan Frontier King Cab, replacing the double DIN OEM unit. The instructions were pretty decent to modify the enclosed parts for my truck (but most of the parts in the bag are for other Nissans, and just have to be thrown away). Once everything was put together the entire assembly did not fit in the dash well; as another reviewer said, I had to file out the mounting holes on the right side to an ovoid shape to get it to fit. Once the dash was back together the only parts of the kit that show are a small binnacle (nice) and a rough strip of plastic above it (not so nice). Also, there is no provision for a support for the rear of the unit (either in the kit or as part of the car) that the Kenwood installation instructions recommended. If I had to do it again I would probably buy a double DIN receiver which would have just involved swapping the mounting brackets from the old radio.

Not needed for 2000 Nissan Frontier

This came with the wiring harness and JVC KD-X250BT I ordered. Luckily I did some extra research and found out that the OEM hardware was all that was needed, and would be easier to use, and look better, than using this kit. Now my new stereo is installed with a perfect fit/look, and this item ended up in the trash. I will note that the preceding is true for factory radios that are single DIN. If you have a double DIN you need to replace you will either need to find the factory parts (pocket and trim) for a single DIN, or use this kit. This kit is probably the less expensive way to go, but getting the OEM parts will probably be easier and look better.

OK

Cheap and you have to do a lot of cutting to make it fit. This makes it versitle but if you make a mistake and cut it wrong you are sunk. Thankfully their instructions on cutting it are fairly clear and that helps you get it right. I still had to make some small adjustments with a drimmel tool to make it fit. Without this however you would be stuck trying to make adaptor pieces yourself.

Not Appropriate for Nissan Pathfinder

I gave this one star because it probably is possible to get a 1U head unit to stay in the dash of 96 to 04 Pathfinder with this kit, but I would not recommend it. I gave it a good try, but after half an hour I decided that it was unacceptable due to poor design and that I needed a different installation strategy. I ultimately purchased a Scosche "Replacement 1U Nissan Pocket" from a different Vendor and reused the Nissan OEM steel brackets and ended up with a very nice professional looking installation in my 2003 Pathfinder.

Did not fit at all in a 2001 Nissan Frontier; the upper edge overlapped the non-removable vehicle dash with no way to correct it short of (possibly) sawing a large piece of the mount off which would have looked terrible.

easy install- 00 Xterra

Crutchfield could not have made this job any easier. Just follow the instructions, and you will have an install that looks like it came from the factory. The install kit, which is made for numerous Nissan's, has different parts that are clearly marked to let you choose the ones that you need for your particular vehicle. I purchased a Dual single DIN HD CD/Receiver, wiring kit and dash install kit for my 2000 Xterra. The time from opening the box to being complete with the install was just over an hour, and that was really taking my time. The instructions were so simple and easy to understand, I could have probably handed the job off to my 10 year old. Crutchfield is that on-point. The finished install looks like it was done by a professional, and the install kit is constructed of well made, well fitting materials. No trimming, adjusting, or modifying of my vehicle was necessary. It all just bolted in, just as advertised. I would and will highly recommend Crutchfield to my friends.

2000 Frontier 4 door - tight fit

Excellent product. The instructions could not have been any clearer. When I was done installing my stereo, it looked like it was professionally done. Very clean and neat. Excellent fit.

It fits, but not very solid.

I used this kit to mount a third-party Kenwood KDC-X395 radio receiver to my Nissan Pathfinder 2001. Good: The kit fits the Kenwood receiver very well, and it was very easy to install. Bad: 1) it does not hold the radio very tight, I don't know whether it is the problem of radio or the mount kit. 2) the mount kit is basically a frame plus two adapters to mount the frame in position. The adapters are mount on the frame by only one screw each. I'm just worried for such a heavy thing (frame + radio) how long the mount kit can last. Overall, it did the job, and easy to use but too much plastic and so few screws give it an unstable feeling.
