Metra Electronics 95-9308B Dash Kit for: BMW X5 2000-2006 Double DIN

I bought this faceplate to install a Pioneer AVIC-Z2 in my 2002 X5, which originally came with the "Bordmonitor" built-in Navigation system.Many sources online list this kit for sale, and some with the notation "Not for cars equipped with Navigation System"Well, it did work for me, with some minor tweaking.To begin with, the instructions call for you to attach the brackets to the radio unit and then install in the car by snapping the brackets in place. Then, the faceplate is supposed to be installed on top of this.However, installing the brackets so that they are both exactly even is very difficult, and even the smallest deviation results in a radio that looks skewed.I found it easier to attach the brackets to the faceplate and then place the faceplate around the radio and then screw the brackets into the radio. The entire assembly then slides into the dashboard.However, three was a noticeable gap at the bottom, and the faceplate is set up so that the radio is at the bottom of the faceplate.I reversed the brackets (putting L on the right and R on the left) and turned the faceplate upside down from the orientation in the photo. Not only does it fit better, but the gap at the bottom is gone. And it looks better as well. The radio is in the center of the dash, not near the bottom. The small gap is now at the top, where it is not noticeable, as it next to the A/C vents.Overall, I think it is a good product, and for $15 reasonably priced. The finish is a matte black paint that matches the panel paint on the BMW pretty closely. It looks "normal" in the car, and not cheap or aftermarket.

This is a great product and a perfect fit.I've read complaints about the lack of instructions, but, truly, if you can't figure this one out, you should not be trying to replace your stereo anyway.I did a small modification, to be able to later extract the stereo without much effort.One small hole on each side so i can insert a small allen wrench on each side to pull it out.very happy with this purchase.

Super easy install nice quality downside took to long to get and little white clips that hold the bezel to the mounting brackets push thru and brake way to easy. I only have to holding mine on and one of them is cracked other then that great deal and looks very nice

4 stars due to being kinda bland looking but also the kit slides in without actually mounting to anything. Relies on friction from trimming cross brace to hold it in place so cut sparingly.

Looks fine and gets the job done. Way better than paying BMW to put a NAV/stereo unit into your vehicle. I don't know that I would put into a newer X-5 if you are picky about looks, but we have a 2006 that we are upgrading the stereo on. It is definiting worth the upgrade, you will be glad to did it! This will save you thousands off the dealer.

Ordered this product after searching for this locally. It was half the price for the exact same product. Metra kits are always great quality. Fast shipping!The only complaint I have is that the instructions are lacking. If you have little experience with car stereo installs, you may have to watch some videos. Some of the install kit adjustments are not discussed at all. I had no problems. But others might.

Fit my aftermarket radio perfectly. Would recommend this to anybody looking for this type item.

This kit worked great!. It made the installation of a double din head unit much easier on my X5. I must say that I had to do a bit of cutting to make everything work but nothing real intense. Final results were very very nice. Good product!

A little modification and it prefect.

The perfect trim and fit for your 1999 - 2006 BMW X5! Just installed my aftermarket head unit and the end result is perfect! Does not take away from the factory look of my X5 dash!

Excelente producto exactamente lo que nesecitaba de alta calidad y fácil de instalar me encanto mucho gracias por el producto
