Double Din Install, cutting the bracket help *PICS* 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 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..

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")
