Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I think that Metra has improved their product since the last review. But I did find that review very thourough and helpful. But here is the bottom line. If you want to install an aftermarket stereo in your 03-07 Accord, you'll either have to buy this kit, or settle for a cheaper kit to mount your stereo below the main stereo console.The problem with the latter is that it still leaves the factory stereo display in the center of your dashboard but it is effectively useless...unless of course you intend on running both the stock stereo and the aftermarket both.AND, you lose the storage space of the little compartment below the factory stereo.
I've found no other manufacturer who makes a similar kit to replace the 03-07 accord center dash control console.
The good news is that it works well and seems to be pretty good quality. It isn't OEM grade or top quality craftsmanship and materials, but it is about a 7 on a 1-10 scale.The buttons are solid, not flimsy. They don't depress very deep before tripping the circuit, which means you don't get a tactile response...you don't "feel" like you've pushed the button. But, the LED lights up letting you know that that button has responded to your push.The dials are not as solid as the factory dials, but they are pretty good also.They do light up slightly, but the indicator telling you where the dial is set does not illuminate.So, it is hard to tell at night how far the dial is turned left or right.I have NOT had any problem with the dials coming off, even though I've given them a moderate tug to test them after reading the last review.I was going to try to replace these aftermarket dials with the original factory dials as someone had suggested, but after testing these, they seem solid and up to the task without any tinkering.I read a review where a guy had to use scotch tape to hold the dial onto the post.I have NOT had that problem at all.
All in all, this was well worth the $150 I spent on it.Don't spend $200 as some sites charge. It is available for $145 - $150.

Product Description:
Turbokits let you install an aftermarket radio in your vehicle's factory dash opening, while making the installation look as clean and professional as the OEM radio. They are uniquely designed to provide the right combination of strength, appearance and versatility. They are the industry standard for installation kits... often copied, never duplicated. When installing your stereo, don't settle for less than Metra.
Turbokit Features:
High impact, OEM quality, ABS plastic construction
Whenever possible, Turbokits mount to the factory radio mounting locations. This provides an easy install with strength.
Turbokit radio openings will hold either DIN or ISO DIN units and, where there is enough room in the dash, some of Metra's Turbokits will accommodate 2 ISO mount units or 1 Double DIN unit.
Snap-in ISO mount radio supports hold any ISO style radio secure; just screw them to the side of the ISO mount unit and snap it into the opening. If the radio needs to be removed, use a flat blade screwdriver to release the snap tab and out slides the radio.
Under radio storage pockets are provided where possible. They are full depth pockets that hold plenty of stuff. Very functional!
Turbokits have been designed with exacting tolerances, so they match the factory dash contours perfectly. There are never any gaps between the dash and the kit.
