Replacing Cd6000 Factory Stereo For After Market Double Din Problem!

[Ricey74]

Hi,

I know there are various posts on this subject but I can't find the answer to my issue. I have purchased a pioneer double din stereo to replace my cd6000 factory stereo. I have pulled the old stereo out no problem. However the cage supplied with new stereo would not fit through the stereo surround trim. So I purchased a fitting kit off eBay specifically for my model focus expecting to be supplied with a cage that fits. However the new cage supplied is the same size as the one that came with the pioneer. So I must be doing something very wrong? If I remove the trim then the whole is way to big for the cage to be secured. I have showered the Internet for a guide or solution, but to no avail. Any help would be very much appreciated!

Have a look at my guide for fitting aftermarket head unit. You DO remove the stereo surround. On the cage there should be some cut outs that you bend out. These will wedge the cage in place when inserted into the dash
