This product is a huge disappointment. Tried to install it with an aftermarket double DIN stereo, and not only does it lack proper mounting points for screws, but the manual also references "rear support straps" that are supposedly needed but not included in the package. Now I’m stuck coming up with some scuffed way to keep the radio from falling out the back. Complete waste of time and money, don’t buy this unless you want to MacGyver your way through the installation.

I just finished installing this FD1436B radio trim kit in my wife’s 2012 Ford Explorer. It took me about 15 minutes because of having to change over the climate controls to the new trim kit. The installation was super easy, 4 x 7mm screws and 4 x T-20 screws. The reason I did this is because I upgraded her Head Unit to a new ATOTO s8 Ultra unit and discovered that I had about a 1/8” gap on each side, so it didn’t look factory.Before changing the Head Unit, there was a Soundstream VR-63XB with a 6.2” screen in a Scosche 6493 trim kit and it fit perfectly.I have noticed that there are a number of negative reviews of the Scosche FD1436, and in reading the reviews, it was immediately apparent that those customers either expected something different or had no idea what they were doing. People complained about their radio not attaching to the trim panel, but that’s why the car manufacturer put mounting holes in the dash. Granted, the holes for mounting the climate control could be slightly larger; however, it already has self-drilling screws. A little tight, but they do go in without cracking the plastic.Back to my installation: Before ordering, I measured the outside of the bezel on the Head Unit and checked the opening size on the product page and found them to be exactly the same. Once installed I made a very slight adjustment from right to left and everything fit perfectly. There is a slight color variation, but after all, we’re talking about an 11 year old car with some sun fade.Given the difference in the model numbers for the Scosche Dash Trim kits, if you’re considering installing an aftermarket head unit, you should double check sizes so that you order the right one for your vehicle and radio. Just those little things will eliminate headaches in the future.I am very happy with the way everything fit, and now my wife’s dash looks factory. The photos show (1) the old trim kit, (2) New Trim Kit Installed, (3) Alignment w/factory trim and (4) Fitment with Head Unit. As you can see, there are no gaps and everything lines up just like it came from the factory.I would recommend this kit for anyone looking to upgrade to an aftermarket stereo.
Love it!!!!

This thing sucked to work with, doesn't fit a 2009 escape very well. I had to make mounting brackets for the radio because none of the supplied ones lined up to any holes. Also it scratches very easy. I fumbled a screw driver and now there is a lovely scratch across it. Buy it cause its the only really cheap option. Otherwise avoid it. The color is also slightly the wrong shade of silver.

Pretty easy install. I used the included brackets because the ones that came with the stereo didn't work. I had to trim the brackets, but they work well and are plenty sturdy. This and the new stereo made the old Escape feel new again.

Hey, it's cheap but it fits. My only issue is, it doesn't mount the same as the stock. You mount the stereo to the back of the stick plate, then slide it all in. This one you have to figure a way to mount the stereo in the dash, and how to get it at the right depth to slip this plate over it. It's not tragic, but it's difficult on the curved dash. And more importantly there is no instruction that states you do not mount it to the plate like the stock oneOther than that it does what's it should

Standard size double din doesn't fit in the hole. The hole needs to be enlarged but I'm worried it will not look clean if modifed. The hardware included is too small for the existing holes and provides no support. Very disappointed as this was late arriving and now I can't finish the radio install as expected. Kit needs work!

The silver is pretty close to my Mercury Mariner 2008 ...for the most part it was an easy install and i can see how some of the reviews can be upsetting but with common sense you will figure it out ... if you have a heavy double deck , I can be little worried for the bracket has no support in the rear ... I installed a Kenwood DMX7706S.Modification I had to do :1. The holes on top of the kit are a little small for the factory screws , had to drill it a little bigger (RED CIRCLES)2. The bevel can be much higher and you may need to raise your after market radio up In depth using washers or outlet spacers. Which I did to make flush3. The kit comes with a small mounting bracket that screws directly on the frame of vehicle , depending on your radio You have to adjust you radio depth sliding it a few times with the screws where it looks best for you .. then you mount the kit cover over radio onto the vehicle ....***you do not screw the radio directly to the kit cover (yellow holes )***For the price and finished look I couldn’t be happier

I would rate less if I could, brackets don't have a way to attach to the panel so the radio won't fit.

the kit fits very well in the truck it doesn't have the same brackets has the original it only holds the AC controls the stereo is holding by the brackets that is provided by the kit into the dashboard there's no connection between the stereo brackets and the dash you got to play around to make sure that stereo stick out enough to be flat with the dash kit other than that if it's okay you only have to swap the AC controls that is for screws and that's it

Love. It.I don’t know what folk are complaining about on the fit or the install. The faceplate of my Sony fit perfect from behind. I think some may be trying to install it through the front.Colorwise I see what some are speaking of but I think that may be the difference between an eight year old car and a new piece for it.The install was fairly straightforward and easy. I would buy again.This review is from me and me alone. I wasn’t paid for it or given any free product.Although if Scosche wants to send something my way I wouldn’t complain. Great product.
