the crutchfield kit is sweet. I got that too it is a scoche. Hey did you use a metra wiring kit. Did you connect the power antenna control wire? I did after realizing we do not have power antennas. Any issues leaving it connected?

- Use the kit shown in this thread - you may be able to find a 1/2-DIN size EQ to fill the pocket, too - not sure about the size, tho.
- Use an aftermarket filler pocket that is DIN size
- Get your hands on the covered pocket from a '99-'00 Protege, or from the MP3 or MazdaSpeed Pro - pricey from the dealer, but a perfect fit (I have this, and it's very nice).
- Another DIN component, like an EQ, DVD, flip-out screen, etc. etc.
- Custom make a plate for the area and put gauges in there, like oil pressure and temp, etc.
- Anything else you could think of the fill the space!

Some ISO-DIN decks do not come with a trim ring - that ring allows for mounting of either the standard type deck (with its own trim ring) or other styles of DIN stereo that have no trim ring, and are meant for mounting "from behind".

Just installed it today! Looks pretty good. The old HU was a pain to remove, it is massive. I removed the plate for the MP3/Cassette and stuck my hand in there for leverage. By the way, I mounted the pocket on top so the HU would be closer to the shifter. I did this so I could change stations a little quicker while my hand was on the shifter. I did not use the trim ring because the face of the Blaupunkt was too big.
