radio Installation Kit

RE: radio Installation Kit
Hello,
I am new to the site, but wanted to share some information about installing a new radio in a 2007 CX-9.
I was not able to find a Manufactured Kit to make the install easy. So I made my own kit, which I was told was not possible. It took some time, but all I use was someBlack PVC plastic, which I bought online from a company in ohio for $35. The original mounting cage that came with my Kenwood DNX7100 and some Simpson strong ties metal brackets from home depot as well as some rivots. Total cost for kit was $45. I have a picture if any wants to see what it looks like. I think it looks pretty good. Especially knowing that I bought the Kenwood, the bluetooth, and 2 10" headrest monitors for $1300 or so. About a third the cost of the factory nav and dvd system.
If you need some pointers on making the kit, I can give you a laundry list of how to remove the old unit and how to make a new kit for a double din type radio.
Happy days!

Hey Michael,
Do you have any pics of the install process, or of the kit before you put it in? I just wanted to see some behind the scenes stuff. I am looking to do this this coming up weekend so hopefully you'll see this post and respond. It's really hard finding good information on this topic!
Thanks
