Group Buy - True Double Din Radio Trim for Liftbacks (180mm opening)

[IsLNdbOi]

I tried sliding the HU through the front and the back and it wouldn't fit. It's not just the corners. As I mentioned above, the FH-P8000BT has a faceplate permanently attached to it that can't be removed. I took the entire thing out and it does have screws to remove the entire front of the unit. When you do that, you find that the parts circled in red are permanently attached / molded into / is one piece w/ the entire front of the head unit.

I've circled it in red here:

I had the same problem with the new dash trim and a Pioneer AVH-P4000DVD. My head unit has that non-removable trim piece around it as well. Just use a dremel tool/sand paper/file to trim the plastic dash trim until it fits. Took me about 30 minutes but finally I got it to snap into place and it looks awesome. Don't give up because it can be done with a little patience. The pieces you file/sand cannot be seen once the dash trim is in place, so don't worry about that.

In doing some searching, I see mention of it being common to have to trim to fit the FH-P8000BT. I couldn't find actual dimensions for that ring. Usually the installation manual has the detailed dimensions, but not for that Pioneer.
