Buying guide

What to check before ordering

Before ordering, confirm the dashboard size, fascia, wiring loom, aerial connection and steering-wheel-control requirements. A stereo that looks right on the screen can still need several vehicle-specific parts.

Use the model number as the final reference. Retailer images and prices can change, and vehicle fitment should be confirmed for the exact make, model and year.
