i've been googling and looking over these forums trying to find a little fix for this or if they make a part even, trying to figure this out.

If i didnt find it, link it, then you can have my old tires... ;)

Anyways. I've been looking for a double din bezel, as my double din, android based stereo (So i can have spotify and Waze) doesnt fit by like 1/6th of an inch.

Its a standard double din size, i matched it and measured it to other stereos and all.

Anywho, anyone else ran into this problem? I'd rather buy a part instead of using a dremel to fit it.


Thanks guys :)

For the 2009-2012 trucks, you have to cut the top of the metal bracket off where the radio will go and also the plastic by the screw holes on both sides where the radio screws in. I'll see if I can find pictures to illustrate better...

Red circles is where you need to cut, and the blue is where the bracket is cut. You can see the top portion already removed from this. Looks like this person trimmed some of the top plastic as well but I didn't need to do that...

yeah I've cut the bracket and I have the dash kit for the truck, (came with the stereo, and it fits)

Im talking about the front bezel (i think)
Picture 2, the large part that has come off... with the wires connected and such...


My buddy with an F150 (2013) got the same radio, fits perfectly in his. :/
Ill show ya.

See at the bottom? the fitting issue...










These 2 posted upside down. :/


Thanks guys!

Weird I had that same install kit and had no issues with fitment. Almost like the radio isn't standard double-din and is a little bigger? I never had to trim the bezel...
