Word! No flames! Lol...Being new to the forum, i didnt know what to expect from you guys. I was dying to put a Kenwood ddx-7015 in my stang when i first saw them. But got scared when reading on the net about all the "mach 460 problems", ya know with aftermarket headunits and whatnot. Im here to tell you now....DONT BE SCARED..its really easy and simple. As far as the double din fit. All i did was put the kenwood mounting sleeve into the space..folded the tabs to secure it..and at this point theres a .25 of an inch gap around the harness...slid it in..placed some strips of electric tape on the sides (vertical) and placed the trim ring on. Ghetto yes i know, but you really cant tell the gap is very small. Then proceed to place the vent panel back in place. And voila it looks good. As far as the wiring harness..i just got the metra 70-5519 wiring harness. You can get them here.. http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshow...number=265-790 . So yes..it is possible to fit one of these in yours. I promise
Thanks for the compliments guys, I guess ill stick around these forums for quite a while now.

Oh yeah something else. The ddx-7015's face isnt detachable. So i fashioned a cover to hide the head unit. I used to work at an airbrush shop, and we had aluminum licence plates to airbrush on. Well i measured the dimensions of the face of the headunit..masked off the tag. Drew the exact rectangle that was measure..add a half inch lip to each side of the recatangle. And cut it out with a dremel. Then sprayed adhesive on the tag, and placed a piece of black cloth cut from a black t-shirt, wrapped the cover, bent each lip down to form a box and tada..instant theft deterrent. It almost looks like a center channel speaker when covered.Sorry about the pic quality, i had to take the pics with my cell, the good interior shots were taken with my friends 5mp elph. Grr...




Dude,
What year is your stang? Mine is a 00 and the trim for the stereo is stepped so if I wanted to do double din I would end up with a funky looking install. I would like to find a trim that isnt stepped.
