For whatever reason, I just decided to read this entire thread from the beginning. Absolutely beautiful! I also notice two of my favorite pocket knives hiding out in the photos. A Chris Reeve Sebenza, doesn't get any better, and a Benchmade AFCK, very nice. I have it it M2 HS tool steel (love it).

Anyhow, today I exchanged it for a W205 double DIN unit.

I had a minor panic attack at first as I was installing it as the sleeve wouldn't fit in the dash kit. Then it occured to me to check how the original unit was installed. Sure enough, it had some nice little brackets that bolted right on to the Alpine. Pardon the pics today, the D2 is at home so I had to use my old Ricoh:

So now it fits like a glove and looks factory. Gotta say I am very pleased:

hi, Nice write up. I just have a question. when you used the OEM brackets how did you get the Metra dask kit and bezel to stay on. I have been playing with mine for about 1 hours now. did you use the bezel that came with the deck or the bezel that came with the metra kit?

thanks
