Send a pic I'd like to see how it fits, what you think of it though ?

I have the same one . Below is a pic of it installed. Sorry, the pic is a little dark around that area. Basically, that kit is designed for the headunit to sit a little deeper in than people are usually used to. I like it though.

looks good, I'm doing my install this weekend or as soon as he kit arrives

But thanks for the info.

For anybody else that cares, I lightened up the image so you can see the kit and head unit a little better. Of course, it kinda washed everything else out. Anyway, you can see what I mean about how the head unit installs. It is designed for the highest part of the face of the head unit to be flush with the bezel. The kit sits flush with the bezel around the edges as well.

yep thats the one I have I dont like the way it sits too well.

and the pocket deosnt go all the way back

dont spend more than $10-$14 on it

I bought one of the universal Nissan Scosche kits from Wal-Mart that others have used first and Yes I used the ears etc that other people used and it didn't fit worth a crap! At least this one fits the opening perfectly. I'm pretty sure I could have modified this one to make the headunit sit out further pretty easily but I actually like the way it mounts as is. Oh well, I guess it's just a matter of opinion.

I got the Scosche kit from ebay for around $15, I'll let you know how it fits when it comes in.

That one should fit great as it's actually made for the Titan. I just didn't need the bezel so it would have been a waste of cash.

I got the Scosche kit and the only trouble I had was my hazards light sat a little loose and kept poping out when trying to snap the plate in so I gave it a wrap in electrical tape and now it sits just like it was from th factory

To make the Scosche adapter fit correctly, you have to cut out the black piece where all the wires come through. The back of the hazard light hits that and it won't allow it to go all the way in. I chose to just buy the OEM dash plate from Courtesy Parts because I didn't want to cut that piece and I didn't like the way the Scosche bezel fit anyways. It was thinner material than the oem piece and didn't sit flush. I do like the mounting bracket for the deck that comes with the Scosche kit.

hmm mine fits fine without any cutting right now the only reason mine is a little loose is cause the friend who was helpin me boke of the metal clips when he was switching them from the oem face to the schoshe and I have gone to the dealer to pick any up yet
