Hey, i just ordered a Panasonic MXE CQ8200U headunit, and it should get here within the next week. 50x4 peak, 5volt preouts...etc. I ordered it off ebay, and it doesnt show the exact dimensions, so i was wondering if i would need a mounting bracket thing for my 1999 civic ex. It would be awesome if i could figure out if i need one before i get it so i can install it when i get it right away. Thanks again!

peace, Evan

 

should fit rite in and replace the stock one with no problem

 

You might have some trouble with the pocket under the radio... since the pocket is connected to teh radio in the first place

 

I needed a mounting bracket when I helped a friend out with one.

 

You can make it fit but it will take a little work and alot more work to get the pocket to sit and stay right. Other wise you could use Metra part # 99-7896 I belive. DOuble check that before you buy it though. The harness should be 70-1721.

 

my god..how many deck install posts have we had in the last like 2 weeks...look around guys

 

hey, sry, i was just looking around and i saw some other installs.....but on another topic, i just realized i put in the wrong headunit, that was the one i was looking at the one im getting is a 60x4 (Panasonic MXE CQ 8400).....which brings up another question. I was looking on crutchfield and witht he 60x4 alpine HU is says u need a different wiring kit...would this be true of this headunit also?....thanks again, Evan

 

I will say i dont normally shop at the Crutch but they do have good wiring kits and h/u install sheets. They saved my a$$ once with a 4runner
