Ok, ive read those other two posts about the pockets for the MP5, but i erally cant get anywhere. I seriously went to like 6 different shops today looking for a pocket. SHould i just get a Universal one? what are the model numbers for pockets made by Metra and Socshe or whatever? i have my head unit and harness and im DYING to get it in. Sorry, please dont flame, just wanna get a pocket, hah. im sooo close.

Also, there was a Universal pocket at circut city but i wasnt sure if it would fit and didnt want to buy it cuz i couldnt return it once i opened the package. how do i know if the "universal pocket" fits. Im assuming it would fit anything hence the word "universal"

It's just a simple, single DIN pocket. No one ever made a pocket specifically for a protege, I think. Dash kit yes, pocket no. A universal one will be fine, as long as it is single DIN in size.

If you are not looking for the new dash KIT, (and I've said this before ------------->), go to a shop and talk to AN INSTALLER NOT A SALESPERSON - salespeople usually have no phucking idea about installs - I can guarantee that the installer(s) have tons of universal pockets sitting around. That's how I got mine, after finding NOTHING at 4 shops - finally got to an installer and he just gave me one. Go around the building to the install bay, if you have to - sometimes ******** in the shops won't want you to go in the back, so bypass them.

You can also order the pocket from the MP3, which is real nice-looking - I'm still trying to justify spending the $70 or so they get for it - I'm sure I'll find some ridiculous reason to spring for one though.

I used a Best Kits BHA7902, worked like a champ. The only catch was that the lead for the dimmer control was not installed in the harness, as I do not have a power antenna I moved the pin over to the correct location for the dimmer control.

If you decide to go with the Metra universal CD pocket, it's 88-00-9000

I got my scosche kit installed last night, and I will post the pics of the install in a seperate thread later today. I would strongly urge you to wait until you se the pics before you make up your mind on which kit you want.

thanks everyone soo much for all the feedback. I got a universal pocket by metra and installed it. Its pretty nice. The head unit is a tad bit loose but secure enough. I didnt get a kit, just a BEST harness from autosoundgear.com. Thanks everyone again. Ill post pics if someone wants me too, but im not going to otherwise, we all know what a head unit looks like right? heh. but the pics helped me before, so if it will help anyone, then ill post. ok. thanks guys...

Deadman found this:
http://161.58.147.9/catalog/cat_details.asp?id=103619
that is the link to the kit that I have in my dash. It works great and has 3 cd case slots.

Yep.. then I went on to actually find a place that sells it!

http://www.partsexpress.com
simply search for 88-00-9000 on that site.. I'm gonna go ahead and order this unless someone can find a pocket or whatever that will work better/cheaper..

I have a kenwood 8017 (it owns, btw) and a p5

thanx in advance
