Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I'd have to find the invoice to be sure, but I believe it was the Euro bezel.

Suggestion
I should still be able to use the trim, but with the unit sitting back about 3/8 of an inch at least, the install looks cheap and hacked together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1Original post

After doing a ton of research on various aftermarket radios, I decided the Pioneer AVH-X3800 would suit my needs best. I also bought the install kit. All the wiring worked perfectly, but the unit won't fit in the trim piece opening. I should still be able to use the trim, but with the unit sitting back about 3/8 of an inch at least, the install looks cheap and hacked together. Has anyone else experienced this? Any fixes? Solutions? Ideas? Thanks!

POST 2Original post

Which install kit are you using? I just installed a Kenwood unit with euro motorspeed's install kit and the fit was pretty good. Certainly flush. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

POST 3Original post

I'm not exactly sure which kit I have. I bought it used from a fellow P-9 member. I looks like the one Delray Customs uses, which I think (minus the "Porsche" on the top of the trim) is the same as the Euro Motorspeed's kit. I spoke with Euro (very helpful folks!) and they said the new Pioneer units don't work well with their kits. Are there other kits available? Pretty sure Suncoast is the same as Euro.

I put a Pioneer 5100 in my 987 and it fit basically perfectly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

POST 5Original post

Is that model a newer (past couple months) or older model? Who did you get the trim piece from?

POST 6Original post

Last year's model. I'd have to find the invoice to be sure, but I believe it was the Euro bezel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

POST 8Original post

Another issue has come up. I'm beginning to wonder if I have the wrong installation kit. Anyways, when I went to slide the radio into the dash it wouldn't fit! Please see the photo. The brackets each have a tab which is (apparently) suppose to fit in a groove in the dash. If I fit the tab in the groove the top of the bracket hits the top of the dash. What am I doing wrong?! Should I bend the tab? This install is going into the fifth day! Am I that incompetent?

POST 9Original post

Mine was the cheapo kit from Crutchfield , how far you want the stereo to fall in was adjustable based on where you tightened the screws

POST 10Original post

I finally got the unit in the dash. While the nose on the Pioneer head unit doesn't come out flush with the trim, it doesn't look too bad. So I'm going to live with it. Apparently only Pioneer DIN units with the 7" screens will fit flush with the Euro trim piece.

POST 11Original post

Still looks really nice, I am sure the sound is much better, plus such better options for streaming from phone.
