They didn't install a kit when they put your new cd player in? When I mean kit I mean that black plastic that surrounds your cd player and puts it right in the middle.hmm..

Well you have two options,
1) you can but a kit, either from best buy or some local shop and just put it where you player is.

2) you can take your idea and create some sort of clear or other color surface and jsut stick it in there.

I prefer the second one. Takes more time but its very unique.IMO

Good luck

I like the way the sounds. Make sure you take your time. I have a black plate under my HU with some switches. Looks nice but I hate painting things. I always manage to mess it up some how.

A Walther PPK-S will just fit, with room enough for a couple of spare clips (handy during commute).

DIN Radio Pocket


Okay, this is probably common knowledge, but where have you guys found your DIN radio pockets? You know, the things that replace one of the radio slots when you have a new head unit installed?

I just had a CD player installed at Circuit City, and the guy there told me maybe the dealer would have them, but I'm sure if I get one from the dealership it will cost me.

I know there are "universal" ones, but the CC guy that did the install said he went through every single one they have to see if any would fit, and he came up with nothing. He even offered to make one for me from some spare plastic (free of charge) but I decided to see where everyone else got theirs...

Most of these are for 2gs, but I need one for a 1g...

Maybe these same sites have the 1g application as well, I will browse around a bit...

I'd almost bet the $10 these kits cost that they'd fit right into a 1G as well. There's not that much difference in the cars, and they're DIN, so the size should be right. And if nothing else, they're plastic, so they'd be fairly easy to work into the right mounts if it was needed. It's hard to wedge more than three or four extra clips in there next to the pistol anyway, so they won't be carrying that much weight.... Just thinking.

i used the universal kit on mine, worked fine. you just have to play around with it a bit. i talked to an installer at best buy. he said thats what he does for all the dsms that come in. he said there is a kit made for them by some smallitime company, but the universal job actualy looks more oem in the end.

Car audio shops sell an install kit for situations like these. It's just a piece of plastic that acts as a frame, and covers one of the slots. Probably like 10 dollars. EASY to do, took me about 5 minutes.

If you have the 2 separate components in the dash then you don't have the Infinity system, just the regular Mitsu one. Same thing mine came with, cassette deck with add on cd player. Both sitting in my garage now along with my last CD deck and a bunch of speakers I've used over the past year and a half, haha..

There's a possibility that your deck might overpower the stock speakers too much. The way I got started in car audio was by blowing my stock speakers in my old car with an aftermarket deck. I guess if you don't turn it up to the max you should be ok.
