Scosche dash kit and double din installed
Finally got back the car from the audio installer, going back in a few weeks for have him install new rear speakers and an alarm...he told me I would be crazy not to invest in one which I agree.
I love the my new new Pioneer AVIC-Z130BT, the touch screen display for the Scosche kit is responsive but I notice a little color change around the area you touch, kind of like when you press down on your monitor. The buttons turn white when your headlights are on. It reusues the factory upper display but it stays on DVD mode, only displays the temp and the campus.
I'll post a video of it tomorrow, it got dark as I was taking the pictures.

That's why I went with the Metra kit, especially since mine is an auto. It looks really good. I'm not trying to bash on you but I just can't stand how it reuses the OEM top display. It seems kinda worthless and it just takes up space since the only thing it shows now is the compass, which your head unit should now have, and the temperature. Aside from that, it looks great!

just installed the same exact setup myself today. literally just finished. took 5 hours with me taking my time and taking breaks here and there.
strange because my screen doesn't say DVD, it says: Mustang GT.
I installed the avic z120bt, but I'm doing the software upgrade to the z130 tomorrow.
screen is not that low. doesn't get in the way of me using it. if the metra kit didn't have that cheesy 80's LCD screen, I would have gotten it, but the scosche kit is nice.

Have you figured out how to get the seat warmer to work? I only had about 30 minutes to play with it but will definitely play with it tomorrow.
I completely agree with your comments about the Metra one, I was torn between both but I feel like button look cheap.

Looks good. Was sync retained? I like that scosche and metra make it easy to replace the factory setup. I think both kits look good.
Factory nav is way overpriced and factory audio almost never sounds as good as or gives as many options as aftermarket audio. I feel bad for people that won't change their head units because "it doesn't look factory".

I went to the Sosche sight and the only one for our cars is this one.
Just like others above me, I prefer the double din screen to be higher up.

I tried to find the Metra one but all I found was info on Chicago's train schedule (they call their public rail Metra, LOL).
Can someone post a link to the Metra mounting kit?
