I attempted to use this product for a 2001 Civic EX and the main piece was simply too big for the Honda dash it was designed to fit in. I bought this product not really expecting it to work as every SCOSCHE product I have purchased in the past has always been of very low quality. Aside from the mount being too large, there were several small plastic "nipples" around the outside edge of the mount that were at least 1/16 -1/8 in. tall from when the product was molded. Had the mount fit in the space it was intended for, this would be an area of interference with the SCOSCHE stereo mount and the factory dash assembly.
Finally I would like to add how disappointing it is that they package the stereo install Kit as a "cover all" kind of sale, meaning if you want to buy an install kit for a 2001 Honda, you must also buy the unnecessary and unused hard ware for a 96-98 Honda. At least that was the case with my purchase. All of the hardware came in one large, cheap, plastic bag.
Bottom line, I will never buy another SCOSCHE product again and I am disappointed to know that Best Buy carries such a low quality product line. I originally purchased a scosche product from wallmart in the late 90’s and it was horrible then too
What's great about it: Best buy took it back
What's not so great: The company gets away with a poor product line of kits
