Hey everyone,

I just got my kit from Double D mods!!! I got the AVIC-x940BT

I've got everything set except I'm not sure on exactly where to cut the bracket that sits right above the A/C controls... I've been searching and everyone who mentions it never really says where they cut it.

I've got pics attached here, you can click em to view them bigger.
Thanks!

I didnt have to cut mine. I installed a z130bt pioneer in my 97 camaro and it went right in.

I trimmed the top of the opening instead.

I went and got the dimensions off of Amazon, here they are:
These are incorrect, look at WhiteBird00's post below
Z130BT = 10.3 x 13.3 x 6.5 inches
AVIC-D3 = 9.9 x 11.1 x 9.6 inches
X940BT = 13 x 10.5 x 7 inches

So it looks like mine is definitely the biggest one, by quite a bit.
I may have to cut the bottom out, since putting it up to the top it looks like it would conflict with the A/C plastic on top..

I cut mine from the top, to where the plastic was flat and smooth

I had to cut the bottom out for my Kenwood dnx9980.

Those Amazon measurements aren't even close. According to the Pioneer owner's manual for your x940, the overall size is 7" wide by 3-7/8" tall by 6-1/2" deep with the faceplate being 6-3/4" wide by 3-3/4" tall.

The older Pioneer AVIC-D3 is the same size (7 x 3-7/8 x 6-1/2) whereas the DNX series Kenwoods are 7-3/16" wide by 4-7/16" tall by 6-1/4" deep.

I was able to install an AVIC-D3 by merely trimming the ribs on the top edge of the opening so that they were flush. I had to cut the bottom tray to make a Kenwood DNX-5120 fit.

In all cases, you will have to bend or cut off the rear support because the aftermarket units are deeper than the stock one.

I bought a JVC KWV20BT. After sanding down the top plastic parts I attempted to push it in and that bottom support above the AC controls cracked. It was obvious then it had to go. I used a dremel to cut the bottom plastic piece off completely keeping of course the sides in place. Just the bottom to make room for the 2 din HU.

I need to make brackets now, so I'm on a quest to measure for them next.

JVC says mine is (W: 7-1/16" X H: 3-15/16" X D: 6-5/16")
